Have managed with previous pens, but couldn't get the most recent one - the pen broke!
Have the manufacturers cottoned on and changed the design?

It happens a lot.you have to use a syringe to remove it. Watch videos on YouTube

Happened with my 5th pen for the first time on Saturday. Instead of snapping and moving on it snapped 3-4 times then went loose and wouldn't plunge. Definitely very different to previous pens.

Had to use a syringe for the first time.

Same here 3rd pen didn't break to give me the bonus dose. I used a syringe as suggested on here but it hurt like fuck. Not looking forward to doing that again.

@LunchtimeNaps it shouldn’t hurt! What size needle did you use?

Yes same here! Broke the plunger thingy. Ordered some syringes.

I also feel like the plunger is getting really difficult to push down!

Yes, I think that’s exactly what they’ve done.

I use a syringe too but it's a slightly bigger needle than mj pen so does sting a bit more.

There are better syringe setups you can use, I am on the app on iPad so can't link but if you look at my posts in the >5st thread you can see ones you can try that are either 4mm or 6mm with interchangeable needles so you can use a fresh needle to inject after drawing out the liquid (and potentially blunting the first needle).

I used for first time on Saturday, so I have only done it once, but I didn't feel a thing. It was as easier than using the pen. Remember to order 10 syringes and 20 needles if you plan to change them after extracting liquid and before injecting.

Some of the Amazon "measuring tools" have a few reviews saying they can be blunt.
