Thoughts on testing vs not testing?

[markandfrank]

I’ve been ordering through Skye for over a year now and am about to transition to gray (unless Skye is considered gray??). Joined a Telegram and a few Discord groups last night and after further studying: do you all typically test your vials even if reviews have been posted and look good? I know of the testing groups and how that process works. I guess maybe it’s a preference thing, but I’m looking for all opinions and feedback.

I'm a non tester (cough, freeloader) relying on the wisdom of the crowd to keep the suppliers honest. I do inject myself with a micro dose 1st from each new order though and wait 24 hours before I do a full dose, just in case I have a reaction to anything in there (as even the fillers might vary for all I know).

Skye is grey as well. The few vials I've used were untested. I'd be lying if I said I felt all warm and fuzzy about it though.

That was my plan…the whole process of group testing just sounds a little tedious and I also don’t want to pay full price myself. I guess you really can’t have your cake and eat it too unfortunately lol

Lol cute pic. Have you tested before? It just seems like quite the process. Or maybe I’m thinking about it too much.

No, I haven't directly tested anything.

If it makes you feel better just try to observe if there's any actual horror stories on here in terms of being deliberately defrauded or sold anything dangerous from any of the vendors before you pick one. Almost all the bad reports are from a supplier being an idiot (things being sent to wrong address, things missing, not labeling boxes correctly) rather than being malicious. If you only order a single common drug such as Tirz from a known vendor the risk is likely much less - if you start ordering a selection box of niche peptides (which much less testing and turnover than Tirz) from a new vendor then yeah there's a bigger chance you get something not right.

I wait until other people get angry then get angry myself. It usually the most affordable method.

Skye is definitely grey and insanely overpriced.

Mob mentality!!!

I’m so over their prices. It was safe and reliable but need something cheaper.

It's hard to find an option for testing in Canada that isn't ridiculously expensive, so I haven't personally sent a vial of anything in. I have given money towards testing though, just to share the cost burden.

Skye charges $2000 for a kit of T30 compared to SRY at $165. Lol!

I've done group testing and have tested my own. For stuff that might have bad side effects with the wrong dose I always test before using it. For other peps, I'm comfortable with just using vendor tests if the dose ranges vary a lot.

Lately, I'm leaning more towards group buys with testing built in for most things now though. Its actually quite the hassle to get into group tests sometimes.

"I got my kit and sent a vial for testing and it tested bad. Told vendor and based on their 99% guarantee they shipped me a new kit"
The above is a quote from No One! Never see it!

If one claims they're going through this with a vendor they rarely back it up with the actual test. They'll say it's their $, their test which usually reads as bullshit in context with their other posts. That being said I have no doubt there are people who hypothetically find out there's cyanide in their Tirz and feel no compulsion to inform other buyers. This is why I appreciate those in our community who post results (and would be happy to financially compensate).
