So I'm already injecting OTC stuff but I don't know how to use this vialIs there a lid that I have to unscrew? Do I just stab the metal part at the top with the needle?What's the liquid inside supposed to look like? Pla help I don't want to break it
smoke that shit homie
>>41248607Fuck off
>>41248600You pop the cap off, then there's a rubber stopper that you stab. The cap doesn't go back on because the stopper closes itself over time
>>41248641I tried to unscrew it and I don't think it comes off Am I supposed to do it with a specific technique? There's a circle in the middle of the metal, is that the part that I'm supposed to pop off?
>>41248680You push it up with your thumb usually, if the circle is made of rubber then I guess you wouldn't have to pop anything off and you can put your needle in thereI'm not familiar with oestrogen vials because I use testosterone lol, I assume it's similar
>>41248707I wonder if I'm supposed to push down on one side and the other side is going to come up and I remove the circle entirely? It is certainly not made out of rubber When I poke it lightly it sounds like a very thin metal Even if I can pop it off, how am I supposed to clean it with alcohol before inserting the needle? It seems that there's a height difference between the metal and the rubber below Fuck I don't know how to do this without ruining the vial
>>41248600DO NOT UNSCREW ITIF YOU CAN SEE THE LIQUID EXPOSED VIAL IS CORED - DISCARD!On the top you should see something which is similar to a flathead screw, you can try to unscrew it, or else GENTLY try to pop off the center of the lid.You should see a grey rubber underneath it.Draw .1 mL of air (.2 mL for your loading dose) with your DRAWING (thicker) needleUse a sterile vipe to sterilize the rubber. Wait ~ 10 sec for the alcohol to dry.Stab the rubberVerify needle tip is in AIR spaceInject air to air. That'll make up for the volume you'll try to withdrawTilt vial and needleVerify syringe is emptyVerify needle tip is FULLY immersed in ETry to draw up E. It should NOT have any bubbles in it. If it does, inject whatever you drew back to the vial then.When you have .1 (.2 mL) for your dose pull the needle out, and put the vial away.Swap the DRAWING needle out to the INJECTION needle.DISCARD DRAWING NEEDLE in a container marked BIOHAZARD (sharps container). DO NOT recycle or put into communal waste. DO NOT reuse.You can now continue with injecting.
Take a picture of itIt's probably a metal cover on your rubber stopperJust take it off>how am I supposed to clean it with alcohol before inserting the needle?By rubbing an alcohol wipe on the rubber stopper after you discard the metal cover bro wtf
>>41248745Yes, if you're gentle, the small metal thing will pop off, it's supposed to. Just the center. If you did it all right, then you'll have a ring of metal around a rubber, and you won't have any E exposed to air.
hi nona, nice to know it arrived just fine. may i ask you how many weeks it took from ordering and it to arrive here in brasil? im also interested in buying astrovials Een and stopping using perlutan but im scared of it getting seized, losing my money and etc
>>41248680The circle in the metal is the thing you're supposed to pop off. It should have only two points of contact with the ring outside: at 3 and 9 o'clock.
>>41248600plzbefine plzbefine plzbefine
>>41248600
>>41248980Attagirl.It's EV, not EEN? Fuck.So. You need to draw 15 units.Tilt the val and syringe upside down. The needle should be in the fluid. Pull the plunger on your syringe *slowly* until the fluid reaches 15 or more AND there's no bubbles in it.If it's more than 15, push the plunger until the fluid is at the 15 mark, and there's NO bubbles in the syringe.
>>41249035>>41248980Oh im not op, sry about the confusion, i didnt know een had to be used diferently, i bought both from astro and they look the same with no unscrewable cap
>>41249081No, it's fine. Een works exactly the same, you need less injections of it.Difference is that an een loading dose is 20 units (unlike EV - 15 units), and maintenance dose is 10 units. (Same for Ev)Een high lasts for 7-10 days (14 days safe, restart with 1.5x your normal dose = 15 units), ev high lasts 2 days, injection needed at 4 and your levels would be wildly fluctuating.
OP HERE>>41248757Ok so I see the flathead thing, but how do I pry it open? With my fingers?I'll draw .1ml per week, 4mg and go from there after blood testsWhat I'm afraid of is by pressing down the flat head circle thing with my finger the sharp edges of the circle may puncture the rubber below >>41248767It's a metal circle with a straight line across the middle So I press with my thumb on one half and the other half will go up and I just pull off the entire thing all together? >>41248779Took almost 5 weeks Import tax was 30 Brazilian pesos Just do it>>41248817I press it with my finger? I feel so fucking stupid for stalling on such a simple task >>41249035That's not Op, not me
>>41249176The circle doesn't have sharp edges.The thing is... You need to move it *very gently* until the two spot welds break.And then it should look like >>41248980If the flathead thing does hold a screwdriver of yours, put a screwdriver in, and try to "unscrew" it (in any direction.) (I tried with a screwdriver, but it didn't hold mine)I popped the lid off by very gently reaching under it with an xacto and using the xacto as a crow bar.
>>41248600>>41248680>>41248745>>41249176holy shit how are you this fucking stupid? just pull the metal off you dumb fucking tranny
>>41249214What am I exactly breaking here? The middle seam or the outer circle seam?
>>41249225I'M NOT A PRIVILEGED AMERICAN LIKE YOU THIS STUPID FUCKING TROONSHINE VIAL COST ME 1/3 THE FUCKING MINIMUM WAGE I CANNOT FUCK THIS UP BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF TAKING INJECTABLE BIRTH CONTROL WHICH COMES WITH A PROGESTIN THAT IS RAISING MY PROLACTIN TO FUCKING HELL AND CAUSING ME HEADACHES SAME SHIT I WAS GOING THROUGH WITH CPA SO DON'T TELL ME TO JUST DO IT GIVEN MY CURRENT SITUATION YOU MOTHERFUCKER
>>41249239The middle.When ok, it should look like hers: >>41248980There should be a metal ring outside, no flathead "screw", and the center part removed.What you break is the two spot welds at 3 and 9 o clock.The ring doesn't have a sharp edge, it's not a can.Be gentle though.
>>41249254i have literally never fucked up a vial just popping the top and if you somehow manage to do that you are too stupid to transition
>>41249254> €40+shipping x 3 = minimum wage> €150Goddess, gracious.
>>41249287She's scared to fucking hell she'll core it as did I have a fucking heart attack when I tried to magic off the top of the vial. This shit is *FUCKING EXPENSIVE* for us, thirdies.Imagine if there was, idk, solid gold inside, which is liable to go bad if you fuck it up. Or if idk, it costed $1000 a vial or something.
>>41249282I'm going to use a knife to poke the middle seam until Ive cut it completely and then use the knife to pull the two halves up and I assume they will disconnect easily The metal circle seems very thinThat should workAlso I'll be injecting with a .1 ml pocket of air so that it pushes all of the medication and inside me It's intramuscular so there's no problem
Pull it offStop writing stop reading just fucking pull it off bro
>>41249313i stand by what i said
>>41249295minimum wage here in brasil is like 260 dollars
>>41249329Use the knife to pry the metal cover off.You could accidentally just poke thru the metalYou're meant to do this with your hands oh my god
>>41249330I can't pull it there's no handleYou mean press it?>>41249337But the idea is to poke through the metal so that I use the tip of the knife to pull the halves up I don't know how to do this with my bare hands I've never seen a vial in my life, only ampulesRose should include instructions
