How much in this syringe?

[trtthings]

Look at the photo with the loaded syringe, the other is just to show the number of lines to 1 ml.

Found it ridiculously hard to estimate how much this is.

You are using way to large of a syringe. I cannot see the first pic level. How much are you trying to inject? I use a .3ML insulin syringe to inject .2ML or 40MG 3X per week. The hardest part is loading it.

Going for 0.2ml. Do you think a 1 ml syringe will work as well?

 

[MarcoFL]

Yes a 1ml would work for a .2ml injection. the one in the picture is a monster 6ml and very hard to use.

I believe he’s using a mixing sringe for hCG. If so, one would equal 1000 IU, 12 would equal 12,000 IU.

6ml syringe for 0.2ml injection!?!?

Yikes! Get ye some insulin syringes

Yep, besides making it easier to measure there's a lot of waste in the hub of that big syringe

Forgive me but that is ridiculous even if one were going to try and use such for injecting steroid doses of T.

Even a 3cc syringe would be ridiculous for trt doses let alone the Terumo 5cc (6cc total) in the pic you posted.


5cc Syringes with Needle
Style: Luer Lock Tip
Graduations: 0.2cc (6cc total)

Terumo 5cc (6cc total)

Even in the 1st pic, you posted the dose is over .2cc (.2ml) as you can clearly see when measuring from the flat surface across the plunger stopper that it is somewhere between 0.2-0.3cc marking.

This is the area (Measure Here) of the plunger stopper you would use when measuring the dose accurately.

As I and many have stated you should be using 1ml (100 unit)/.5ml (50 unit)/.3ml (30 unit) fixed insulin syringes for trt.

Most are using 1ml or .5 ml depending on preference and dose T/volume of oil injected.

Many injecting dailies can get away with the .3ml because they are injecting such a small volume of oil due to using lower doses of T.

Numerous benefits when using a fixed (low dead space) insulin syringe as not only are you minimizing any potential waste of medication but you can use the same needle to draw/inject let alone much easier to measure doses accurately and top it off with the fact that using a 27-31G needle will minimize scar tissue/trauma to the area.

You will also find that they feel more comfortable in the hand when drawing/injecting and a box of 100 syringes is dirt cheap!

Thanks madman. Extremely informative as always.

I recently checked and it seems that in my country the smallest needle I can get is 27G and the smallest syringe is 1 ml. I am going to go out tomorrow and get a ton of 1ml syringes though.

Apparently everybody who uses insulin over here gets a pen that is paid for by the government.

Many love using the 1ml (100 unit) 27G fixed insulin syringes as they are quick to draw/inject with.
