On holiday - ran out of test cyp - can only get test enanthate

Hi, newbie here. I’m on doctor prescribed TRT.
I am currently on a 5 month tour travelling across south east Asia. I have ran out of test cyp as I mislaid my spare ampule whilst travelling. I have found numerous pharmacies selling test enanthate (Bayer Testoviron) which is double strength of my test cyp.
Would it be ok to temporarily switch to test enanthate until my return home and stick a couple of ml in my now almost empty multi use vial as I believe it’s just the carrier oil which is different? The test enanthate is double strength of my test cyp so will only do half dose. I inject sub-q with 29g needles - would this still work with test enanthate as long as temperature is warm enough to thin the oil?
Thanks

Yes, this substitution is ok. The cypionate and enanthate testosterone esters are pretty much interchangeable; they have similar half-lives and similar fractions of testosterone by weight. If by "double strength" you are referring to the concentration in mg/mL then you are correct in planning to take half the volume for the enanthate doses.
 
Thank you. Yes, usual test-c is 250mg/2ml, whilst the test-e I’ve found is 250mg/1ml so as this is twice strength I’ll half dose until i can get replacement test-c. Thank you

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
