Just ordered a peptide pen since I handle all of my wife's injections and I'm hoping this will help her get comfortable enough to do them herself. She uses tirzepatide and occasionally runs BPC or GHK-Cu. I'm considering loading my GH into one to make nightly shots simpler, and maybe testing one for my test. I figured MCT oil through a 29 gauge should flow pretty smoothly and cut down on how many pins I'm doing each week. Do any of you use peptide pens to make life easier? What are your thoughts on them?

I'm not sure about running GH through one — I've thought about it. If it works out, let me know. I pin most gear with a 29G and that works well, just never through a pen.

There seem to be more and more places offering them. I don't have a strong opinion — they just make things a bit easier. Why not use them? If everything switched to pens, fine. I'll choose based on price and quality; if they're similarly cheap, I'd use them. I also think women and people nervous about using non-FDA products would feel more comfortable with a pen than a syringe.

I love using pens for peptides, and HGH should be no different since it's water-based and basically a long peptide. I considered trying MCT oil too, but I keep thinking it won't work. It definitely won't work with an autoinjector because the spring pushes too quickly and the oil won't expel that fast. A manual pusher — like the Eli Lilly-style pens — might handle it. Let me know if you get it to work.

Peptide pens were a game-changer for me!

Will do. I'll post back — I'll fill it when I reconstitute my next vial.

This is an empty one I bought, I already got needles and cartridges for it. Gonna try it with just my GH first to see how I like it, and if it works I'll order more and try testosterone and GLPs with it. Thanks.

Are you planning to run any oils through them, or just water-based stuff?

I'm definitely getting manual ones. The auto pen I found was over $100, and while I don't mind spending, paying twice as much just to avoid pushing it myself seems silly. I'll report back after I give it a proper go.

Just peptides and GH for me. Never tried oils. I don't think a 31 gauge would handle it — too viscous — and I'd probably end up bending the pen needle trying to inject.

I was thinking I'd try a 29 gauge since that's what I use for my TRT anyway. I'll see how it goes in a few weeks.
