New to Capping Bulk Powders!

[kknecht1]

Hi,

I am thinking about ordering some yellow gold, and capping it. What exactly do I need? Do I need a Capper? What size Caps? I have a food scale that measures by 1 gram increments, do I need to have a better one?

I have read on here that people have been using 500mg of Yellow Gold 3X per day, Is this correct?

Thanks Kevin

IIRC, you will need a filler for this, as well as a Deluxe Capping Kit. the Cap-M-Quicks hold 50 capsules each, so take the dosage you want (if 500mg, I would recommend getting the 00 capping kit). weight out 500mg * 50 capsules (25 grams) and add around 5-10 grams of filler (taurine works well).

then simply spread the mixture over top of the uncovered caps. It isn't effortless, but you will only have to spend around an hour a month.

Warning YG is MESSY and stains...do all this over a newspaper.

Thanks for the reply,

Why do you need a filler? Would it be wise to use bulk Cissus for a filler (so it would be more like AP)?

again, IIRC YG is not the easiest powder to work with. Hopefully someone else with more experience working with this can chime in.

I've heard the same thing about YG, but I have not used it...yet....cissus is sticky too...I actually do what D said and use taurine as a filler for all of my bulk powders.

I capped a bunch of YG, I don't recall it being difficult. Didn't use a filler. If you do use a filler I strongly suggest you DONT use cissus! Cissus is hard to work with, especially if the humidity is a bit high.

I used 00 caps, filled them, tamped lightly, and topped them off. I don't remember exactly what they came out to, but it was very close (just a bit over) the suggested dose.

damm.. ill have to find something to use as a filler....

Should i bother buying a capper for my cee or just man up and put it in a drink ? The bulk creatine is the final piece in my order, and i gotta order quick, i already missed out on the xtend deal when i was at work. There's another deal i DONT want to mis out on otherwise my next 2months of supplementaion will run me ~$50 more than need be.

 

[kknecht1]

Ok, I am Finalizing my order..

1- 150gr Bulk Yellow Gold
1- 1000 cap Bulk NP 00 Gel Caps
1- 100gr Bulk Green Tea Powder
1- Cap M' Quick 00
1- 500gr Bulk Taurine Powder

(Would it be better to get some Leucine instead of Taurine to use as filler)

Is there anything else I need to be able to start capping? Or to know?

Thanks for all the help:thumbsup:

I would recommend CEE caps...NOT powder.

:

I would not recommend leucine as a filler.

I will use Taurine!

Am I good to go with everything else? I dont want to submit my order, then find out I need something else.

Thanks

Do you have a scale to weigh out everything?

Do you have a scale to weigh out everything?

I have this one [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Salter-5-Pound-Microtronic-Kitchen-Scale/dp/B0000YWUY0"]Amazon.com: Salter 5-Pound Microtronic Kitchen Scale, White: Kitchen & Dining[/ame]

Depending on accuracy (.1 gram works fine) that should be good.

 

[hardestgainer]

you don't need a filler. It is a little messy, but no filler needed. I capped cissus no filler too, that stuff gets sticky.

You got THAT right...the 50% material is WAY sticky.

Is this deal over, or will it be back in stock soon?

Any word on this product combo, or possibly the deluxe with the scale?

Thanks :thumbsup:

Why so? I've been using the CEE powder and capping it without any problems for quite some time.

He was asking if he should cap his CEE or take the powder straight. I recommended against straight CEE.

TCM works great...you will like it.

The capping kit often pops out of stock, even if the "00" caps and Cap-M-Quick are in stock. It's just the combo that sometimes is out.

As for capping bulk YG I do a set of 50 last weekend; I tamped the caps 4 times and they were about 90% full I would say, and it worked out to be ~530 mg per cap. I didn't find it hard to work with at all. I'm thinking about capping my Green Tea tomorrow, that will be a pain.

Also taking CEE at the back of the throat isn't too difficult. It has a strong acidic taste, but I find it easier to toss back than Cissus which seems a bit dryer to me.

I also picked up 100g of TCM but haven't tried it yet. It's been a topsellers on the bulk page for a while, so I figured for $3 I'd pick some up. I'll look into the science of it further when I start taking it.

Well yesterday I had my first capping experience. I started with Yellow gold and then finished with green tea:bb:

It went well!

Today I took my first yellow gold dose preworkout with my breakfast, and I had incredible pumps all throughout my workout! :thumbsup:

 

[AdelV]

ive capped.... PLCAR, SALVIA?, CISSUS, ETC ETC No filler.. no big dramas.. its a bit sticky sometimes.. and u may lose 500.mg-1g.. but eh...

I tried doing 200mg, 200mg, 100mg but its annoying.. so I just end up doing everything in 500mg caps..

lol
