Team more. I prefer better accuracy in the dose. I don't mind injecting a larger volume of BAC water and I have no issue with needles.

If you're in Italy, were you able to get bacteriostatic water? The more common European diluent doesn't have the same 28-day guidance. With real bac water I go up to three months. I'm team less, currently 15 mg tirzepatide at 20 unit shots. The downside to less volume is less precision, so I'm very exact when mixing using a reverse calculator and then hope for the best.

I prefer smaller amounts overall. Even attempting to lower my tirz intake gradually, I end up below ten units anyway. For NAD+, one milligram per unit works fine for me. I inject gradually, and pause briefly if there's any discomfort before pushing further. I've never needed more than thirty units. With copper, I pull extra bacteriostatic water beforehand to thin it out, yet I still measure fifteen to twenty units. Those three milliliter syringes feel completely different. I skip the zero point three ones, thanks.

This really clicks, above all when folks are just getting started. It proves useful to everyone checking the thread and has boosted the discussion overall. I get why using a thinner mix helps with getting the measurements right from the beginning. I'll group you with the folks favoring bigger amounts for better precision. Much appreciated! 🫶

I brought up in a different discussion that sourcing bacteriostatic water consistently has been tough for me, so I'm relying on some imported from abroad. Yeah, dealing with the same issues. From now on you're on my nonbeliever underground wish list. You're also on my low quantity and ease list, appreciate it!! 🫶
