- As you can see, adding more water makes the solution less concentrated, meaning you have to inject a larger volume to get the same dose. For researchers, using less water (like 1ml) can make measuring very small doses a bit tricky, while using more water (like 4ml) can mean larger, less comfortable injections. We've found that using 2ml for a 5mg vial is a very common and practical middle ground.
