the Netherlands: dead space, and what it actually costs here
Right, the units question again, but with numbers this time.
I have 21 data points over 20 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.
The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 81, not week 35. People give up long before the interesting part.
Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.
best — the order this archive was captured in
This is correct. 2mL versus 13mL is the common mistake.
Mechanistically the bit that matters is bacteriostatic water. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.

i am begging people to write down the concentration
This is correct. 1mL versus 5mL is the common mistake.
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
Cored the stopper on my 12th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
This is correct. 3mL versus 15mL is the common mistake.
This is correct.
Adding to this: mg/mL is doing more work than the comment implies.

This is correct. 3mL versus 12mL is the common mistake.
This is correct. 3mL versus 17mL is the common mistake.
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
This is correct. 1mL versus 8mL is the common mistake.
dead space is real and the syringe matters
