Are you guys buying BAC every month?

[Superfluous]

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.
