[PSA] your bac water is fine, your fridge door is not
Been lurking in c/insurancefights for about 17 months and finally have something worth posting.
Short version: week 14, 10mg, and dead space is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 29 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.
What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 20.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Two vials, two different concentrations, forgot which was which, almost made a 14 times error. Now I label everything.
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
30mg vial, 2mL water, concentration is 30/2 — write it on the vial afterwards
5mg vial, 1mL water, concentration is 5/1 — write it on the vial afterwards
Show the arithmetic. Where did the units come from?
more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.

Cored the stopper on my 16th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.

show your working or it is unhelpful

swirl, do not shake, or you are courting oxidation

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 11 weeks to accept.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
