Vial going down a little faster than it should be, need advice...

Ok it's my first cycle. Everything is going great, only 2.5 weeks ago I first pinned and started my cycle, already gained around 7-8 lbs of pretty lean mass, without much water (taking 25mg dbol, can't wait to feel the test).

I finished my 6th pin, and the vial looks like it might have 3 pins left when it should have 4. So i'm guessing my syringe isn't measuing whats in the needle portion, or maybe I'm measuring the syringes wrong.

I pull back and match up the furthest bit of oil with the 1 ml mark on the syringe. So the dimple is even a little less than 1 ml and I know some people measure from the dimple. I also use just 1 needle, use the same one to pull from vial and inject, so none is getting wasted.

Anyway, so unless the vial was less than 10ml (GP test cyp btw), I'm getting a little more than the 500/week I was planning on taking. Should I keep measuring the same way, and just space my injections all 4 days apart instead of the twice a week I do now so that my cycle lasts closer to the full 10 weeks? I only bought enough for 10 weeks at 500/week, and I don't want to shorten my cycle because I use it all too fast (speaking of which, any downside to buying more, and then saving a partially used vial for next cycle? Do they go bad faster once you open em?)

Also is there any downside to slightly reducing the test a week I'm getting? If my math is right I'm getting like 580/week if the vial really does only have 3 pins left. If I lower that back to around 500 will that be worse than just continuing the 580/week?

Yea..you lose abit in the needle after you pull the pin..I always get more than enough gear..and withdraw a wee bit more than what the syringe says...
 
when mine runs out faster than it should, i buy more. there is always more

With all the extra money transfer fees, and shipping costs I'd have to buy my whole next cycle then. Can you answer me if a vial of test with a few injections taken out of it will go bad within 12 weeks for the next cycle?

should have shelf life printed on label...
 
If i bought the shit today..pinned twice from the vial..then never touched it for another 6-12 months id still pin with it.

I always pull some air into my syringe to clear the drawing needle before swapping out, so nothing is really lost there...but I do feel like a lot of labs are putting 9.X ml or so in their vials and calling it 10ml. Nature of the game I guess.
 
I don't swap pins, I don't see the point I still feel barely any pain, and I'm not losing any oil. Nobody has said whether or not to lower my weekly dose or just keep what I'm doing. If the vial was actually 9.x then I guess there is no reason to, but I have no idea. Anyone know if GP test is exactly 10ml?

Anyway, seeing as how people think it's fine to keep an unsealed vial in storage for months, I might just order the next cycle and buy an extra dose of test in case that one runs low too. I think today is the last day for the naps deal too...

23 gauge 1 inch. Yea I will prob lower the dose a bit if I don't order more, can't really hurt much I guess. I would have done 12 weeks this cycle anyway, if I had to do it over.
 
needles are so cheap, why pin with a dull needle bro? next cycle order some 21's to draw and 25's to pin.

Haha i've seen that image, and I still pin with the same needle. I'm just hardcore like that, haha jk.

Anyway, if it hurt a lot I would, but I don't want to waste oil and as it is, I don't usually bleed afterward, and if I do it stops after like 5 seconds. No needle marks or abscesses either, so fuck it.
 
how does it waste oil by changing needles after drawing?

Snigg your talking to the wall bro.. this guy doesnt want to listen lol.. well see how hard core he is when hes getting his ass infection drained.. all to save a needle? Silly...
 
Mine did this.
First 2 from vial looked like the emptied half the vial.
But it had the amount as printed on label and that was GP Test E.
 
Even when you fill the pin to 1ml and inject, theres still gonna be gear wasted cuz theres always .1 left down at the bottom where the plunger stops. Thats just how it is, order more gear next time so you don't have to worry about such a small amount. And as stated earlier, cut down your dose a bit then, it's not that big of deal. Pins are so damn cheap, it's dumb not to switch them out after drawing from vial, they dull instantley on top of the steril issues. There rubber stopper in the vial keeps it sealed tightly so your gear will be fine if you store it away for a while.
