Janoshik test results as a vendor resource

[m100568]

Does anyone look at Janoshik's published test results to find potential new vendors? There are companies who I have never heard of who are testing like crazy with good results. Over the last 1 1/2 years I have reached out to a few. Their kit prices were good. I still 3rd party tested what I received and they came back good. I won't name names. With all the vendors coming and going so quickly it seems like a good way to get ahead of the game. Thoughts?

Of course i look at test results. Yes they don‘t show if other shit is in the Vial, but its a good first indicator to order or not.

Definitely it happens. Vendors know it, too -- one of the top results right now named their sample "Retatrutide 40mg | 99.5% Purity + Guaranteed. #1 Rated USA Supplier| Same Day FAST Shipping USA & Canada | 24/7 Phone/Email Customer Support" and even included a web site name. They 1000% know that potential customers are looking at the public test results.

(I wonder how well it works for them; their prices make nexaph look cheap, and that's not easy)

No.

Since that is a paid option (basically advertising), they are all cherry-picked results.

Exactly. I thinks it’s great these companies test, but how many of them would publish a bad result?

This.

Not every test is shown on Jano, only those vendors pay to have posted. So a vendor could have 80 bad tests and 20 good tests and you’re only going to see the 20 the vendor paid to have posted.

They're not a good indicator at all.

What everyone else said… with the caveat that if you use it to build a list of vendors to then go research for community reputation and 3p testing released publicly. I found the hardest part of entering the market was finding vendors to vet. But even then reading around Pepys and glp1forum will get you there too without the paid to be public test results.

They are better than ordering blind and have nothing in hand.

Good point, it also gives you a sense of market prices I think. For me the pathway to places like this was coming from places like YouTube or Reddit. If you’re on YouTube, you think peptides cost a fortune. So $50/mg and more for the popular glp1s etc.

Reddit won’t generally allow vendor discussion. Then you find your way here or discord etc and you don’t know who to trust, but you do see prices at least.

They really aren’t. You should never rely on a vendor’s test. You have to test your batch. That’s the only way to have any reasonable reliability that what you received is the same as the batch that was tested.

They don't even allow discussions of BAC water there. As soon as you mention a BAC vendor the thread gets deleted. It didn't used to be that way. I'm sure EL is aware of the discussions there, here and other places on the interwebs. We are providing them additional research, after all.

I never said any against that. But would you trust any seller with no tests or any reputation?
Test results from the seller are for me to feel good, testing i have paid is for me to feel safe.

I'm like a broken record on Reddit, telling people who want more freedom to discuss the gray market to come to this forum.

I’ve mentioned this forum a lot as well. Including to the 100+ DMs I get when they figure out I have a few trusted vendors. I have my standard response saved to paste in to my reply. They still try asking tho and can’t seem to make the effort to search. Covid babies, maybe, and they want spoon feeding. Reddit has also banned people for providing vendor names in DMs as well, according to reports, so I’m not playing that game. They are also trending younger and younger there and their self-research declines with age.
