Safe to use?

[jboogie]

I'm a week away from starting my first cycle. I was going through my supplies yeseterday and I noticed that all of my oils have a bit of undissolved powder in them.

The crystals are really small, probably 1/8 to 1/4 the size of a grain of salt. They settle on the bottom of the vial. There aren't enough of them to cover the entire bottom of the 10ml vial. Also, they are definitely not more than one crystal deep.

Can I safely use this oil? It's 250mg/ml Test E from a reasonally reputable UGL (ie, not IP ****). Should I try baking a vial to see if it redissolves the powder?

Personally, I would ventilate and bake at 250, then give it a couple days to see if crystals form again. The only other option that I see if the baking doesn't work, is to add more oil/BB/BA, and I can't imagine that would be much fun, as you don't know the preexisting ratio. Hopefully some more knowledgeable bros will chime in with some other (and more useful) info.

I wrote my source and told him about the situation. Here's what he wrote back:

sounds like its coming out of solution. The oven will work, 15min @ 225.

A more permanent solution is 2cc's of BA, if you dont have any or dont want to do the oven procedure 1 a week,, send your shipping addy and I'll send you a vial of ba

So tonight I'll give it a bake and see what happens.

I'm not too enthusiastic about adding a full 2ccs to a vial OR having to bake it once or twice a week.

I would not be too afread of the solvent here if that is the problem. But the test e should not be falling out at all, even in oil really. It may be that he forgot the BA altogather in witch case don't use it. I would ask him how much BA is in there already. Backing the test e is unecessary too, just put the vial in some hot (not boiling) water. Remember, test e will melt at just above room temp.

It actually has the BA content on the label. The number 4 is sticking out to me, I'll have to look when I go home.

Disturbingly, when I first noticed the powder, I ran the sink in my bathroom and let the vial sit in hot sink water for about 30 seconds and it didn't seem to have any effect...

30 seconds may not have been enough. But test e will melt on your hand so it should melt in hot water. Try putting it in steaming water.

250mg of test shouldn't be falling out at all. not with 4% BA. you might want to think about sending this stuff back if hot water will not solve the problem at least for a few days.

Just thought I'd post a follow up.

I boiled some water in a coffee mug, let it stop boiling and dipped the vial in. The crystals immediately dissolved and have stayed that way for 3 days now.

Just took my second shot. First was in my right quad. It's been three days and the pain is almost gone, so it looks like my leg isn't going to fall off.

Tried to do a second shot tonight in my left quad. First try hit a nerve. Second try hit the same nerve (note to self: move laterally next time, not just up my thigh).

Finally had success in my left glute.

Everything skye has been saying is right on. Test e should not crash at that concentration, unless its just in plain oil maybe, and it should not hurt unless you misdeliver somehow. I would normally add a solubilizer and recalculate the concentration based on the original volume minus what you've used, but that's with a homebrew. With an outside source, I'd be careful. It may be prop if it's falling out and makes you hurt.
