For those of you who microdose your oils, how are you actually making sure all the gear gets into your system? I’m worried about the dead space in the syringe. I actually asked an AI about it and it claimed that something like 30-40% of the dose can get stuck in there - which seems like a lot if I’m pinning something like 30mg of Tren Ace every day. That’s roughly 0.15ml just sitting in the tip.

dude that AI is trippin lol. 30-40% is way off unless you're using like a massive harpoon. just get some slin pins- the needle is built in so there's basically zero dead space. problem solved.

i had the same worry when i started microdosing. look up the "air bubble trick" or the "air lock technique" on youtube. you basically leave a tiny bit of air at the plunger side to push the last bit of oil through. works like a charm- just dont overthink it

0.15ml sounds way too high for dead space loss... thats like half a syringe tip. maybe if u use the big ones with detachable needles? switch to fixed needle insulin syringes and youll get every drop

honestly man if ur pinning every day just adjust the dose up a tiny bit if ur worried. but srsly that AI is hallucinating- its more like a tiny droplet stuck in the hub not 40% of your gear lol

bruh dont listen to the AI for stuff like this lol. get some 1/2 inch slin pins. way less waste and way easier on the scar tissue if you're pinning daily- gl with the tren though hope the sweat isnt too bad yet

honestly the dead space in a standard 1ml is only like 0.03ml if that. the ai probably got its math wrong or something. i just draw a tiny bubble of air to push the oil out- works fine for me and i havent died yet lol

dude that AI is straight up lying to you lol. 0.15ml is basically the whole dose if you're using a small syringe. just switch to the fixed needle slin pins and you won't lose anything- or just accept the "tax" and pull a tiny bit extra

30-40% sounds like a massive exaggeration lol. if you're worried about it just switch to insulin syringes (slin pins). they have basically zero dead space because the needle is built right into the barrel. much better for microdosing

honestly just use the "air bubble" trick. draw up a tiny bit of air at the end so it pushes the last of the oil through the needle. been doing it for years and it works perfect for those small daily pins

man whoever told you 40% is stuck in there is crazy. maybe in a huge 3ml syringe but not a standard one. if you're pinning .15ml just get the 0.5ml slin pins and you won't lose a drop

i had the same worry when i started daily pins. i actually tested it by weighing the syringe before and after and it’s way less than you'd think. but yeah slin pins are the "meta" for microdosing anyway

just get the low dead space (lds) syringes if you don't want to use slin pins. they have a little stopper that goes into the hub to push everything out. much easier than worrying about math every morning

30mg of tren ace is a small volume so the "loss" feels like more than it is. but yeah like everyone else is saying just use insulin needles. they're cheaper and way more accurate for daily stuff
