    is sterile water THAT much worse than bacteriostatic?

    basically, i found europatan and its cheaper than canadapeptides to buy my m2 BUT they only have sterile water rather than bacteriostatic.... is this going to cause a problem for me or is it really not a big deal? i heard sterile water could be painful? can someone help me with this? thanks... oh and does anyone know if the peptide from europatan is any good?

    they are reputable, should be in good hands.* could have a few irritating/painful injects - may not at all

    hope others can share secrets/tricks of the trade...

    Re: is sterile water THAT much worse than bacteriostatic?

    ok thats not too bad at all... by using europatan im saving around 40-50 bucks so i guess thats worth a slight irritation..

    how much sterile water should i be mixing with a 10 mg vial of melanotan 2? is it same as bacteriostatic, 2 ml?

    Yes sir - using sterile water I would add only 1ml to reconstitute (w/ 1ml insulin syringe) 10mg Mt-II

    then I would want to use 1/3 or 1/2" (as compared to the large, 1ml syringe mentioned to mix) to measure and inject.* Using the smaller insulin pins allows the user to get more precision with measurement - fyi!

    I use sterile water as I order from the same company.

    Sometimes I get a slight sting, sometimes It's a painless injection. It's definitely nothing you can't handle.
    I think also a mixture of the cold liquid entering your body causes a bit of sting.

    I'm not phased by It anymore. I expect the slight sting and do my injections super quick now haha.
    90 degree angle, quickly push needle into fat, release liquid, wait about 3 seconds after all liquid is dispensed, pull out needle in one swoop and wipe over with alcohol swap!

    Nice write - ty!* The temp/cold shouldn't be the issue, it's the sterile water (bact water cold never irritates me...) - glad this topic is present & elaborated on

    Hi Chris, why would you use only 1ml sterile water instead of 2ml to reconstitude? Does that mean that bacteriostatic is better to use than sterile?

    Sorry for being unclear. No worries using 1-2ml to reconstitute...all good within that range. Sterile water irritates the skin, burns site after inject (in my experience)...whereas bacteriostatic water is painless (& preserves)
