Are you guys buying BAC every month?

Do you reconstitute every 5 days?

I do at the minute because I'm just finishing my (bought a while ago) T15 supply and we're on 7.5mg per 5 days each. But I'll be onto the T30 soon and I'm moving to cartridge pens at that point, so will be filling 2ml for 30mg to last 20 days (x 2 pens for the pair of us)

I'm almost at maintenance weight too, so I might go 5 x 6mg / 0.6ml doses to fill the full 3ml of the pens at some stage, while I'm just trying to maintain.

I do recongise that the Bac water shouldn't be kept for that long when following official guidance, but it feels within my personal risk tolerance since I'm fairly careful around cleaning and storing the equipment.

If it fits your personal risk tolerance then that is all that matters. At $3 a bottle, and the fact I dont reconstitute often, it makes sense for me to just open another one.
 
My current vial of BAC is just shy a week of 90 days opened. I store it in the fridge with my reconstituted peps. I am reconstituting 2 more vials with it this week and then will toss it as it is mostly used up.

No issues so far. If I had money to blow i'd love to do some testing to see the stability and contamination of a vial of BAC as it gets used over a certain period of time. I suspect the 28 day limit is just a default industry CYA value same as any other "use by" date.

I'll let yall know if I die and you can come clown on me at my funeral for dying over $3 of crusty old BAC water.
 
I'm living on a Mediterranean island and don't have access to the Hospira deals you guys get too so I end up paying $15 for postage alone for a couple of bottles from Amazon, have to wait 2 weeks for delivery, then have to have someone home to sign for it etc. Pain in the ass, more so than the cost.

I could probably try find a local pharmacy to try buy it direct but I'm scared that the locals will wonder what I'm up to. People talk around these parts.

seems like all of this is kinda playing games. ordering a powder from China and shooting up.

yep, but by all means you better make sure your bac water is not expired. that's definitely the real risk factor smh

i'm not an expert so don't listen to me. but for what it's worth, my understanding is that the potential issue with bac water is that the benzyl alcohol part that is the actual sterilizing agent might evaporate over time through the puncture hole in the cap. and refrigerating it might actually accelerate this process. that's why bac is supposed to be stored at room temp.

i use my bac for far too long per guidelines but i'm not worried. seems like stuff evaporating through a tiny puncture hole is less risky than putting chinese powder in your belly.
 
AMSCO is not the best place for a handful of them.. shipping is $14.95.. not to mention that they won't tell you up front what the exp date is.. (typically it'll be ok, but they don't bother informing you ahead of time). I am cheaper for 4 or less.

It's I highly doubt that it's evaporating through the puncture hole, it's self-sealing rubber and there's quite a bit of BAC in there (.9%). My last vial of T tea was near the end and I removed the metal cap to get the last bit using a needle, before I threw the vial away I was curious and did smell the alcohol smell in the vial, I would say my vile was probably about 3 months old.

I still think we should be adding everclear. Just to be on the safe side.

Benzyl alcohol does NOT act as a sterilizing agent in bac water. Bac water does NOT sterilize what you mix with it. It simply slows the growth of bacteria and fungi in what you mix it with. This is why many people recommend filtering the magic chinese peptides when you reconstitute, as an attempt to sterilize them.

The risk is not that the benzyl will evaporate, the risk is bacterial growth, which is increased with time after introduction.
 
Are Pfizer and Hospira pretty much the same? Should you avoid the ones that have sodium in it?

Hospira is made/owned by Pfizer. I cant speak with authority on the sodium-based BACs, I suspect they have a similar function but different use case than alcohol based.

Thanks. I didnt notice the Pfizer ones are the Hospira because the text that says Hospira is small on the vial photo on the product page I was looking at
 
A lot of vendors will sell 3ml vials of BAC in kits. Many people stick their nose up at this option. My vendor includes a kit of yellow cap vials with each peptide order as a freebie. I love them. They’ve been tested by Jano and the results have been great. I routinely buy kits of these little vials from others who refuse to use them. I usually pay $5/kit plus shipping. Unfortunately sellers are starting to wise up. I paid $10 per kit today for 6 kits.

sodium bicarb water is for a different purpose. Definitely don't use it with glp1s as it doesn't react well.

I *think* they mean the 2 types of Bacteriostatic water: Bacteriostatic water with the pink top that uses alcohol and Bacteriostatic sodium chloride water with the green top that uses NaCl & alcohol as the agents. Pfizer makes both versions.

I could be wrong 😑 lol

Looks like you have some over extrusion going on with your 3d printer.
 
Ladylaw said:
I did not print that but I do have similar issues. Can you advise how to fix?

Calibrate your extrusion multipliyer (aka flow rate). Without knowing your printer, slicer, and printer firmware, that is about all i can provide
