So after realizing that I'm not able to buy empty sterile vials here in my country (Venezuela) to store the content of my Sustanon 250 ampoules, I decided to just precharge some insulin syringe (29G, 1/2") while keeping a space between the Test and the rubber of the syringe, not as safe as a vial, but better than just wasting all my ampoules or injecting a full 1ml in a single pin.
I inject 120g weekly split into two doses, so I charged 0.25ml into every syringe. Pinned 1 immediately and stored the other 3.
Turns out, however, that after a 3 days, the quantity of test was diminished by about 0.05 in every syringe. I know that it may seem insignificant, but I'd really like to economize, TRT is for life, and after a couple of years that wasted Test will be some significant wasted money.
So I was wondering if:

So I was wondering if:
- High temperature is the cause (we have 27-30ºC peaks here), should I store the Test on my freezer?
- I should use another syringe (I'll attach 2 pictures of the syringe I'm using)
- I'm not storing it the proper way: I'm back filling the syringes with a bigger one (1 1/2" 21g), because the short, 1/2" neddle cannot reach the bottom of the ampoule. After that, I make sure that there is space between the Test and the rubber and then I place the syringe with the neddle facing down in a glass. After that, I put the glass in a dark place. Am I missing something here?
- Is my testosterone leaking out from the neddle? Is there anyway to avoid it?
