When I say 'priming,' I mean getting more solution than needed in the syringe and squirting some out. Do you all do this?
 
Yup, that's how I do it too. Leave the needle in the vial, get rid of the air. The whole 'squirt into the air' thing is just for show in movies, or to make the person look like a bad scientist or something.

Plus, the amount you'd waste is tiny. A small bubble under the skin or in muscle isn't a biggie compared to an IV. Not a doctor, so this isn't medical advice.
 
I thought squirting it out was just a movie thing. When I did injections, I slightly overdrew, tapped, and then pushed back into the vial to the exact dose.
 
Okay, I have a random question... What do you all do with your used needles? I'm wondering if people just toss them in the trash... is there a better way?

Please don't do that. It's dangerous for trash collectors. Get a proper sharps container!
 
Hey, did you guys hear about the changes to the new injection pens that are coming out? I heard the manufacturer is tweaking them to stop people from getting the 'extra' dose. I guess some people were wasting a lot!
 
Tried oral sema for 3 months, ramped the dose, nothing worked, no sides. Switched to injection and got wrecked — migraine, puking, nausea, exhausted all weekend. Husband almost took me to the ER. Still sick 48 hours later but managed dry toast. Please tell me this isn't normal or it gets better?
 
Vial volume and concentration relate - 5mL vs 1mL at the same mg gives very different draw volumes per dose. On a smaller vial, priming loss matters more.
 
the filtering-achieves-sterility point is correct when the technique is right - a validated 0.22 micron hydrophilic membrane filter in good condition, used before the seal is broken and pulled cleanly, produces a sterile filtrate from a non-sterile source. the 'many experiments and extensive testing' part of the community record on this is genuine; it's one of the better-documented practical findings in community peptide handling
