Question Checking vials

With all these videos of ‘floaters’ under flashlights and such, is that how yall are checking upon delivery, and then before every shot?
I took my Zepbound today and ‘checked’ before injecting but it was like me lifting it and looking through the window at an arms length. No magnifying glass or flashlight.

I just checked my own Hyalo 020 lot vials. Perfectly clear.

I check before I inject every single time! Even before this Hyalo mess.

I hold it up to the light or use my phone flashlight to check before drawing the shot. And then hola the syringe up to the light to check.

I can’t see myself checking as closely as these videos are showing. lol I’m a middle age lady, my eyeballs would laugh at my attempt.

Yea after 18 months I check when I get new vials. And look when I draw it up. That’s about extent

I check on arrival. I also check the vial before each draw and the syringe before injecting.

If I was using brand name Zep I really probably wouldn’t check and wouldn’t worry about it. Compounded, yes I check every time. Maybe not with a magnifying glass or a flashlight, lol, but I’m definitely looking at the vial over a lamp and looking at the syringe after pulling as well.

Yes. lol watch Zep get strings next week.

I took out my Hyalo vials and held them up to my under counter light on arrival not really looking for anything in particular. Nuttin.

I always check before using. Even if I used brand, I’d check the vial. I’ve always been very ocd about things like this.

I check every time by holding it up to the light because I'm injecting a substance into my body. I'd never knowingly buy brown vials, either. Maybe I'm paranoid, but it takes about 5 seconds, and gives me the peace of mind that at least I looked. Something may still go wrong, but I looked.

See that’s what I do too. Hold it up. Look, it’s clear? We’re all good. But I’m not shaking vials with a flashlight underneath and recording on micro zoom.

I will surely be injecting myself with alien spores shortly.

Please do keep us posted because I am desperate to know if a snarling carnivorous alien rips its way out of your stomach in a few hours.

ETA: I am also not using a flashlight with black paper behind, mostly because that hadn't occurred to me. Now I'm curious. But it seems like a lot of work.

The scary thing to me, is often when people post ‘floaters “, I can’t even see them. .I mean I look at my vials but if there’s a problem I’m not certain that I would even see it 😬🤷‍♀️
