The tirz powder bottle pulled in the BAC water and fizzed — that caught me completely off guard! In the end it turned clear once it settled. That was the very first gray batch I'd ever done.
 
your first time can really catch you off guard! since the vials are vacuum sealed, they pull the liquid right in. have fun with your first grey pin!
 
Pretty sure a fast rush of bac into the vial isn't what you want, since peptides are very volatile. When inserting it into the vial, keep the plunger steady so it stays put, then release it gradually so the liquid runs down the side. My approach: take the plunger out, insert the needle into the vial to let the pressure equalize, then reinsert the plunger, draw up bac, and fill the vial slowly down the side.
 
Right, take the ENTIRE syringe—plunger included—into your hand, stick it in, then ease your fingers open so the plunger slides down. Works like a charm!
 
Another approach: draw only air into the syringe first, inject that into the vial, and then the vacuum won't be as strong once you introduce the bac water. That's my method. The exact air volume isn't something I measure... so I go with 1-2 ml of air. Even so, there's often a stage where adding the bac becomes difficult because the pressure is too high. I prefer not to have the vacuum pull the entire amount of water in and "smash" it against the peptide. Based on my own experience, tirz seemed less effective to me when that occurred, despite the claim that it shouldn't make a difference.
 
From what I understand, the timing of this happening makes no difference when it comes to Tirzepatide. Tirz isn't fragile in the least, so you could shake it violently in every direction and there would be no negative consequences. All that cautious, delicate syringe work you do amounts to nothing with Tirzepatide.

That initial attempt, it yanks with the force of a freight train when you aren't prepared.

yeah, it gets you worried that you've just ruined your pep lol
 
I dunno. Once you vent that vial, you're pulling in dirty air. 😏

Who knows? Burp, fart or cough before the vent, that stuff is still floating around.

That's incorrect!! Janoshik himself, Peter Magic, has demonstrated it to be untrue.

The recon filtering clips over at peptidetest cover this. I tell everyone to check those out. Give the peptide enough time to break down completely and for every bubble to disappear prior to injecting.

Also, I suggest running it through a filter into a fresh sterile vial that has a self healing cap.

My mistake—I was talking about filtering. It's been a long day dealing with doctors.

That's how I've understood tirz too, at least. My recollection is from that widely seen Jano interview a year ago, where he said peptides in particular are actually pretty stable and sturdy, and that they don't handle reconstitution with any special caution.

Give that vial a proper shake instead of a gentle stir — treat it like you're mixing a Margarita!
