I am not sure if this is useful to anyone but... 
After a fair bit of experimenting, including blood tests, I have noticed the following about half lives / ester release:
1. Injection location matters (delts vs glutes etc) - glutes are much slower releasing and have a more stable release profile - makes sense given size of muscle, formation of depot and blood flow. Also, for SubQ I have noticed the butt / love handle area has a much slower release than thigh fat... Diabetic studies seem to confirm this difference in release from different sites... Subq is def more stable than IM.
2. Carrier oil has a huge impact - a notable difference between grapeseed and castor oil (/sesame seed oil). GSO release significantly quicker in my body than castor oil...
3. Injection volume and frequency - the more injected in one site the slower the release (sounds obvious given the depot formation), however, not enough to offset the impact of frequency - much better to inject more often for stability.
I am pretty much just doing TrT at the moment but I do feel a lot better, and find estrogen easier to control, when blood levels are stable.
To ensure stability I use a long lasting ester (enanthate), inject three times a week, use a longer lasting carrier oil (castor oil), inject subq into butt fat. This makes an incredibly huge difference to keeping blood levels stable (more than double the half life from the best to worst combination I would guess).
It seems obvious all of the above and I can dig up studies backing up most of the above if anyone is interested.
