The thread shows users recommending online calculators to determine doses per vial and bacteriostatic water volumes. Advice centers on selecting kit sizes that last about a month based on current or upcoming weekly intake, while noting that larger kits reduce cost per milligram but require longer refrigerated storage after mixing. Multiple posters stress learning the basic math and process before ordering or starting, and using search tools on the forum for more details.
What this discussion establishesNothing here is advice.
What factors go into picking vial sizes when ordering? Does a calculator exist that shows doses per vial for a given weekly amount and how long it lasts? The part about adding bacteriostatic water to various strength vials to hit my dose isn't clear to me. Anyone have a good starting point?
Take a look at some available online tools and resources, and try searching the site for more info on the topic.
Empty vials are mainly needed when filtering your own. A reconstitution calculator can assist with the volumes. Have you bought anything already? It might be good to learn more first before starting.
Many prefer kits where each vial lasts roughly a month. For example, at 6mg weekly, a 24 or 30 milligram kit works for most. With higher tolerance for keeping reconstituted vials longer in the fridge, a larger kit could stretch to 10 weeks, though you calculate your own risk level. Bigger kits often cost less per milligram but aren't ideal for low doses or starters who might increase gradually.
I agree it's better to understand the calculations before jumping in. It's common to get various kit sizes to match increasing doses. I began with smaller and larger ones when switching from another compound, went through a few small before larger to save them, but realized the bigger one could have worked from the beginning. Now several months in, I've used a good amount.
For dosage info, check dosage sites. A calculator helped me with reconstitution and strength. For empty vials if filtering, look for sterile non-pyrogenic ones. Be cautious with certain marketplaces. Some sites have supplies and water too.
