Bruises at every injection site from my stack - how do you stop them?

[Bobby2005]

Hey everyone,

Running a fairly large peptide stack alongside reta these days. Some of it goes through pens, sure, but the main stack still runs through regular syringes, one needle to draw from the vial, another for the actual injection, still 27 gauge.

Problem is the bruising. And with summer here it's not exactly a great look.

Tried icing the spot down beforehand, but every so often a little blood shows up right at the entry point, which pretty much guarantees a bruise by the next day.

Any way around this? Current setup keeps reta separate in its own syringe, the bigger stack goes into a second one, and then late morning brings selank and semax on top, with ghk-cu, bpc-157, and 5-amino-1mq running through the pens.

Not totally sure what gauge my testosterone syringe is, but the result's the same whether I catch a nerve in the glute or not. When I miss the nerve, it feels no worse than a 30g needle.
Today I held off on my BPC-157 and Tesa/IPA injection until nearly noon. Need to track down that peptide compatibility chart again showing what pairs well together. Doesn't bother me anymore, that dull-needle sting. Still, one injection beats doing three to five depending on the day.
Hoping the BPC and TB finally clear up this elbow issue over the next few weeks so I can finally drop those. Also finishing up tesa/ipa within a few more weeks. Looking forward to getting back to running only Cagri and Reta on a weekly basis.

Hi all. Just tried taking my weekly injection and ended up going through five needles total, one to pull the diluent, then transferring into the peptide container, but when I went to draw from the vial for injecting, nothing would come out. Tried a second needle, still nothing, a third, same result, and finally the fourth one worked. This has happened before too, when I accidentally ended up taking double my intended dose the following time I discovered a couple needles just weren't functioning properly.
This particular batch is a different brand than what I usually use, can't recall the previous brand off the top of my head since I already put them away.
So does anyone have syringe recommendations from the UK that don't have this issue? That time I overdosed, I wasn't wearing my glasses and mistakenly thought the diluent was already drawn up and went straight into the vial, when it wasn't. So an extra 1ml went in on top of what should've been there. Explains why I only got two weeks out of that vial instead of four!!
