  1. So are they just clear crystals?  If so, it is just crashed.  Sometimes it takes more than 15 minutes to get stuff back in.  Crystals forming or "falling out of solution" is a legitimate chemistry practice for purifying compounds - you dissolve something, lower the temperature to allow your target compound to precipitate out via crystal formation.  This process removes impurities (they, at least the majority, stay in solution instead of precipitating out), so you can then filter the purified crystals out of the solution.  You can then use them for whatever or do another recrystallization process to purify it further.  Anyone who has taken organic chemistry has done this exact process multiple times.

    If the solution is cloudy or the crystals aren't clear - and when I say clear, they should look like pieces of glass basically - then I would suspect some sort of contamination.  It's hard to say without seeing the vial.  But I had a bunch of vials of boldenone cypionate crash in the cold once while I was out of town for most of the day & the vials legit looked like they were filled with shattered glass.

  2. I found out about this company near the end of last year.  Was kind of suspicious, but seems like they're GTG from the reviews here.  Maybe I'll try a few things out...anyone have a review on their aromasin?  I generally would prefer pharma AIs for obvious reasons & I have a stash of pharma arimidex, although I much prefer exemestane so I never use the arimidex.  What about the prami?  I am really, really tempted to order a bottle of that since it should help me with an issue unrelated to gear that I've been dealing with.  It's only $24.99 plus I think $8.00 for shipping so it's not a lot of money, but IDK - seems like it's too cheap.

    Also, there's a couple things on there like the "PUMP" blends, "The Shredder," or "Mass Monster" - are those oral solutions or are they supposed to be injected IM or SUBQ? (Example: https://www.aminoasylum.com/online-store#!/PUMP-BLEND-20ML/p/179773286/category=0)

    For crashed gear i personally use a candle warmer / warming plate.   Also works well if ya need to heat up thicker based (GSO) products

    I use something similar - I have this therapeutic heat pad thing that plugs into the wall.  Doesn't get super, super hot (obviously, since it's supposed to be against a person's body/skin) so it can take a little longer but it works.

    Otherwise if you put some water in a pan on the stove, heat it, & sit the vial in it upright, the crystals will dissolve & go back into solution.  Because that is literally what happened - the compound fell out of solution & when things fall out of solution for whatever reason, the compound will precipitate out of the solution & form crystals.  That's actually a method used in chemistry to purify compounds.  You dissolve a compound into a solution & then allow it to fall out of solution & recrystallize.  This process helps remove impurities from the compound you are trying to isolate/purify.  So it's not a big deal - just an inconvenient.  Once, I was out of town for most of the day when I had some stuff show up & the boldenone cypionate that was in said package had crashed HORRIBLY.  I actually thought for a second initially that the oil had frozen which confused me because while it was pretty cold out, it wasn't THAT cold, lmao.

  4. Sucks for that guy.  Really not all that much either TBH.  I mean, I guess the oral stuff is kind of a lot - 2256 tablets/capsules according to the article, so assuming 100ct per bottle, that's about 22 bottles....we'll just say he tried to bring 25 bottles of orals in.  So that's kind of a lot; but guy only had 29 vials, which, if you're stocking up on stuff isn't really all that many vials.

    Its guaicol, and it shouldn't be necessary for sust. You should be able to use EO to get sust to hold as high as possible. Maybe if your pushing the limits like over 500mg/ml you could try guaicol. I have brewed with it before, and now i will try to never use it again. If i have to i will not go over 3%.

    Im going to brew some injectable dbol/drol at 25/25. I think all i will need is BA, BB, and EO to get it done.

    Twigs is correct.  If it has that smell and is leaving a knot, chances are it is guaicol and there is no reason for it to be in Sustanon unless you have it in 500 mg or higher solution I suppose.

    In general I avoid high concentration oils and PWOs.  The PWOs work but so do other things that don't leave knots.

    I concur with the two of you.  Shouldn't be needed for sustanon, but maybe it's not normal sustanon & it's some blend they made up that has test base in it as part of the mixture.

     

    Whenever I pin test base I can still smell it the second I open the door to my place when I get home from the weightroom. 😄

    Gents I wish I could just post up some examples but that is not something I have copies of.  If you have access to verifiable tests that were completely by both, jano and an accredited lab, by all means post up as well.   I have no ill will as I have used jano in the past and had others send items there for testing. But with the things I have come to learn as well, until any of those issues are taken care of and solid, I wont be using or recommending his service. 

    I do not have access to anything either.  This is just what I have heard - most recently in the thread on ASF.com about the bad Praetorian testing results (a link was posted on this forum to that board).  In that thread, Jano's legitimacy was yet again called into question & it was brought up that there had been an issue around 7 or 7 years in the past where the results he obtained were incorrect but that the issue causing the incorrect results had been remedied & that since the issue & subsequent fix, that his results have matched the results from other laboratories who also tested the same samples Jano tested.

     

    Like both of you, I have no dog in this fight as they say, I am merely sharing information that I have come across.

    Jano has had items sent to him and to a credited lab at the same time. The results returned were NOT the same. That's an issue.

    When did this happen? Im not a fan of jano or a hater, but the only time i saw him compared against another lab the results were acceptable. It would be nice for a legitimate well priced lab testing service to become available, that way jano wouldnt even be considered.

    I'm wondering about this too.  From what I heard, he has received unknown samples & tested them with results that were the same as another laboratory.

    I could be wrong but hasn’t Jano been proven to BS already? Just some dude collecting samples and creating a lab report in order to con people out of cash and gear... I know I have seen reports on gear he supposedly tested meanwhile the gear pack was returned to the sender by the post office without Jano realizing the sender got the pack back unopened. So Jano issued a report without ever receiving the pack.. Pretty clever scam since no one can prove or disprove he has the equipment and means to perform the testing... One of the many reasons I stick to human grade gear. 

    So supposedly what happened with that is he was sent a package that got held up & opened in by customs.  Because he is a testing facility, apparently he has some more pull with that & was able to get it out & took it & then tested it.  According to the PM exchange, Jano then said that customs reached back out to him saying he had to return the package to them while he was out of town or he would potentially be arrested & charged.  So he had his girlfriend repackage the package so that it looked the same as when he received it with an extra vial he had laying around - so he received three vials, kept one, & then sent three back with one of his own vials replacing the sample vial he kept.  Then she took it back to customs & then they sent it back & it eventually made its way back to the sender.

    Jano had earlier in the email exchange asked if the return address on the package was a real address; basically asking if the sender would end up receiving it back or not.

     

    This was all some time ago.  The only reason I remember this is because I literally just looked at that thread a week ago.  So the story is a little different from what you had said.  Jano has had his results confirmed by other labs now multiple times, sooooooooo yeah.  I am not saying either way that he's good or not - just sharing some information I have.

     

    EDIT:  You only have to tell Jano what it is ahead of time for certain compounds.  The hormones we use, he does not need to know those before hand - those he can do blind & his results have been matched by other testing facilities.  The ones he needs to know about before are some of the ancillary drugs we use because the testing & sample preparation processes are different than for raw or finished hormones.

    I have that problem sometimes too.  I think I wake up with an erection and it makes it harder to pee.

    I hate my prostate, its way too sensitive to everything. Swells like a basketball.

    I have been on 5mg cialis for BHP and it helps but its far from perfect.
    They have a procedure to "fix" this.  I talked to a urologist some years back.
    Might just suck it up and have it done.

    Unless I am misunderstanding you, it is supposed to be harder to pee with an erection.  The pathway from your bladder to your urethra (I forget the actual anatomy term now) is blocked (to a large degree anyway) to prevent urine from entering the urethra when your body is having or thinks it is about to have sex.  So that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with your prostate.

    Got rogue mini monster rack(470)

    Titan bench(150)

    Texas power bar(270)

    About 500 lbs of plates(900)

    Olympic Db handles (200, ripped off due to price gauging)

    Various lat bar, land mine, all kinds of bands and chains all bought years ago. 

    Pretty good price on that TPB.  I paid $295 for mine on sale with free shipping like 4 years ago when EliteFTS had them listed for $348.  I saw they dropped the price down closer to $300 though a while back.

    You think running it say everyday micro dosing it vs mon wed fri would be any better?

    I'm not sure.  Some time ago I did read something about someone using a short test ester (may have been prop, I cannot recall now) everyday & the thinking was that it more accurately mimicked our natural testosterone level rise & fall - our hormones, including sex hormones, are not constant throughout the day.  They go up & down depending on the time of day.  For example, the pineal gland starts secreting melatonin more in the evening & there is basically no secretion in the early AM hours.  

    Sustanon was supposedly designed at least partially for TRT (I've never found anything to fully verify that, but that is what I have read/heard).  So you have the short esters & then as those fall off, the longer esters are still releasing test to compensate for the lack of test from the short & shorter esters.  

    So I am not really sure.  I am going to wager a guess & say doing ED vs EOD or MWF with sustanon would yield little to no difference.  I think if you wanted to more accurately mimick the natural rise & fall that you would need to use either test base or a very, very short ester (shorter than prop), but I do not have any actual data or evidence to back that up.  I may have a lead on some information that I can take a look at later today though.

    You could always try & see how you feel and get bloodwork done to see what, if any difference there is.

  12. Guys, here is the thread I was referring too: 

     

     

    I found it on the third page of this forum.  I haven't read through it yet, but will at some point today to see what all happened with it.

     

    Fellow AB member "PeytonManning" also made a comment about some T500 he had received from Dictator on the first page of that thread.

  13. Maybe I am remembering incorrectly.  I could have sworn someone brought up some potential issues with one of his products, but maybe I am mistaken & it was another lab.  Let me see if I can go back a few pages of threads in the next few days & see if I can find what I am referring to.

    Remember though, he was a reseller, so he was simply buying products from other labs & then reselling them.

    I do recall all the other stuff though - new business stuff, the heart attack thing that someone came back & said had happened to him.  I am definitely not trying to bad mouth him or imply his products were not good - I am simply repeating information that I (thought I) had read from other members here regarding a product or several products & was requesting any additional information.  But as I said, maybe I am recalling incorrectly now.  He actually went out of his way with that order & sent me some free pharma arimidex because I ended up in a shit spot due to poor planning on my part.

  14. I have some sustanon from Dictator left over.  I had been using it & there was some information posted some time ago - might have been some bloodwork, not sure - that pointed to some of his products being underdosed.  After that, I set the vials aside.

    I was wondering if anyone has any information about his sustanon from the last two years or so he was operating.  I think I received this test in the first quarter of 2019, but I could find out more accurately if needed.  Any one have this (or any other test ester) tested?  Or have bloodwork done on it?  Trying to figure out if I can use it or if I should just toss it.  I have plenty of other sustanon plus some enanthate & cypionate, but I'd rather not waste perfectly good gear.

    It's the 12mL sustanon American Pharmeceutical Labs.  Expiration date of 11/2023.  Lot 02528.  Like I said, I believe I received this early 2019.

    @johnaveeno, @Muscletw, thanks for the update members can use your info and make a informed decision to whether to use them or not. 

    Hopefully your receive your orders, good luck!!!!

    Plus 1.

    Hoping your stuff is just held up at the ISCs by CBP or USPS just due to backlog & it'll come through eventually.  Sometimes ISCs can be weird - some packages from the same originating country that were shipped on the same day or same week make it through in a couple days but then others sit for weeks or months.  Seems to be no rhyme or reason sometimes.  ::shrug::

    Always go domestic if you can 

    I concur.  

    I always wonder why people use international sources when we have good, domestic sources & often times the reason is as simple as "I wanted to try someone new."  I get it to a degree but I would not want to be sitting there worried it'll take 3 months before I get my stuff & have to deal with all that stress & worry.

  16. Could not care less as long as whichever oil is used has the proper hormone & the proper concentration in it.

    That said, I don't believe I've ever had anything made in sesame oil.  GSO, I've had plenty of.  MCT, plenty of.  Safflower (I think?  Pretty sure strango used it), plenty of (probably lol).  Never cared about the carrier.  

    Is there some notable difference between the two?  I know MCT is thinner.  I know EO can hold a lot of things other oils can't but can be a problem for some people.

  17. Dude is right on so many different points.  If he truly believes what he is saying & I see no reason why he would not believe them if he went to the trouble to verbalize these things on video & then post them online, then he is one of the (seemingly) very few LEOs who is one of the good ones.  I would be willing to bet this guy treats every person he encounters in his job with respect (at least until those people show him otherwise).

    I have personally called officers out before for some of the things he mentions (papers for example) & they continually say the same BS, insist on the same things, try to dodge questions (am I free to go? What reasonable suspicion do you have to detain me?).  This video makes me happy that there actually are LEOs out there who do understand that they have the "power" they do have because we as citizens have given it to them, that they are NOT free to do whatever they want whenever they want without repercussions, that they shouldn't exercise their "power" to violate the rights of citizens just because somebody above them told them to do this or that, etc, etc.  And most importantly it makes me happy that there are LEOs out there who actually do care about their citizens & truly want to make their communities & the world a better place.

  18. That's exactly what happened...he just disappeared.  No responses to emails so his thread got locked & then was removed or hidden.

    There was some discussion about it somewhere on the board (not sure if it was his thread/forum or if it was in the Supplier Feedback forum) & apparently this had happened before but he resurfaced later.  Some speculation that it had occurred before due to security concerns, but IDK.  Perhaps someone else has more information, but that was the information available shortly after he had disappeared.  So I'm not sure if he came back but left this board or if he is still MIA.

    How I found this site is by logging in to the old one. It directed me to this one.

    Well, that's what had been happening before for me when I clicked the button in my bookmarks toolbar.  But after the upgrade to this new forum software for some reason the bookmark (with the .com URL) was not redirecting to the .is URL/this new board.  I didn't change anything so I think I would be relatively safe to assume that I was not the only person this was happening to; but I, of course, could be wrong about that - although IDK why it all of a sudden would stop working for me when nothing on my end was changed.  ::shrug::  And I had thought that there were not very many people logged in, but it seems like maybe I was wrong on that judging from the "online users" section of the home board.  Although myosaurus did just say in the chatbox that he "thought the board was gone," so again...::shrug:: lol.

     

    I'm sure people will chime in eventually.  This has always been a bit of a slower board anyway as you know brotatoe.  😄

    But I also haven't gotten any replies to PMs either. Not a good sign.

    I can't edit my other post now, but some people have reported trouble with PMs since the upgrade.  The system is saying they have "Zero allowed" (I think is what Synergy said it says for him) & other people have reported they are having trouble sending PMs too.  I would assume PMs that are being sent as also most likely not being received by the recipient.

    Sam, I for one think that is a very good idea.  Security is becoming even more important as people accounts are hacked around the community.  

    I concur.

    I don't think it should be required but having it as an option would be awesome.
