Basic Use and Operation
1. Remove the pen cap, by pulling the cap off.
2. Unscrew the cartridge holder (the body of the pen) from the main pen body.
3. Ensure the piston rod is fully pushed in.
4. Insert the new cartridge into the holder, often with the metal-capped (threaded) end first.
5. Screw the cartridge holder back onto the main pen body until it is secure.
Here is a video on how to insert a new cartridge:
Use the dose selector dial on the pen to select your desired dose. You can simply turn the dial backwards (counter-clockwise) to reduce the dose if you accidentally dial too high. You cannot, however, turn the dial back once the dose has been fully injected. Not sure how many units to dial? Try our peptide dosing calculator.
After pushing the injection button all the way in until the dose counter shows '0', you must keep the needle in your skin and hold the button down for a slow count of 6 to 10 seconds (10 seconds is a common recommendation). This ensures the medication is fully delivered and prevents it from leaking out of the injection site when you withdraw the needle.
Reusable injection pens are often considered less painful than traditional syringes primarily because they use finer, shorter needles designed to minimize pain, deliver medication in a controlled and consistent manner, and are easier to handle, which helps reduce discomfort during injection. Additionally, many users experience less anxiety with pens, which can psychologically reduce the perception of pain.
V1 pens - (slim body) - made from metal - go up to 80 units - closed cap injection which means you will see and feel the injection (you remove the cap to poke)
V2 pens- - made from metal - go up to 60 units - open cap injection which means you can do the injection with the cap on or off when you use it with the cap on with a 4,5 or 6mm needle tip the cap distracts the nerve endings in your skin so not only will you not see the needle but will feel it much less.
V3 pens - 2 body styles (slim like the V1 and regular similar width wise to the v2) - made from metal - go up to 60 units - closed cap injection which means you will see and feel the injection (you remove the cap to poke)
Yes — peptide injection pens are designed to be beginner-friendly and are significantly easier to use than traditional vial-and-syringe methods. Most first-time users can administer a dose comfortably after one short walkthrough, either from their provider or the pen's instructions.
What makes them simple:
- You dial the prescribed dose on a numbered window — no drawing from a vial
-Most people describe the injection as a brief pinch or feel nothing at all.
- Subcutaneous sites only. Peptide pens inject under the skin — usually the abdomen, outer thigh, or back of the upper arm. No need to find a muscle or vein.
- Audible feedback. Most pens click as you dial the dose and click for each unit as it is being administered.
