Highlights from this day
  • vale_vials — why does everyone say 2ml specifically and not 1ml the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol 12:51
  • vale_vials — update from 1 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not miscalculated since 13:43
  • LC_MS_Lena — i keep a spare vial of bac water in the fridge purely so i never rush the maths 13:52
  • vale_vials — i was wrong about this last year: it is fine to draw cold, it just stings more going in 14:27
  • monoisotopic — do not add more bac water to an already reconstituted vial, you have lost track of the concentration 14:29
VV

how long after reconstituting before its actually dissolved

LM

aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler

clear or bin it

VV

anyone worked out a recon volume that puts 2.4mg on a round unit mark

the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol

temperature of the diluent does not matter. how fast you push it in does

MO

you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should

VV

5mg in 2ml gives 2.5mg/ml, 0.25mg is 10 units. good for a starting dose

it should be completely clear with no floaters. cloudy means stop

MO

the jewellery scale is a good habit but calibrate it, they drift badly
