Well, fuck peptide test

[Chizikitide-1977]

The only reason I can shrug it off is I could see he only tested one brand of filter, so those results were for those filters. As I looked at other filters, their numbers were different, so asked him on Reddit and he said yea, the numbers aren’t going to be the same across the board.

Sure, he added something like, why buy generic? but I buy generic bc I’m just a poor girl from the dusty flatlands of America. 🇺🇸 (cue swell of god bless America)

He's also said the Cobetter filters are prone to bursting. I'll dig it up in a bit.

I have the Cobetters as well and I've tested the limits. They are quite durable, and the membrane holds up really well. I don’t buy it.

Found it

avoid the cheap Cobetter filter, they can burst easier than the quality filters. It’s no fun to end up with a whole vial of peptide sprayed all over your counter.

I think I remember reading that. I’m sure I could make any filter burst under the right amount of pressure. I did it on purpose a couple of times so I could see/feel/hear what that was like. I learned that as long as I pre-wet my filter, everything flows smoothly.

My gripe is that they use this “we are here because we want to help the community” marketing bullshit and then make moves like that that actually limit access to filters by setting up a de facto monopoly. If they want to be dickish business guys then they shouldn’t masquerade as community servants.

And I didn't like that he was promoting product he had exclusive rights to as the best option without telling us he might have other reasons for making that claim.

Yes!

This stuff makes it hard to differentiate between the sound scientific conclusions and the sales pitches. Once that line has been blurred, trust is compromised. And trust is absolutely critical for a lab. Much more so than a vendor.

I got a bcc, fwiw. And I have a burner email too, just in case.

Same here, I am on BCC

I don’t get it either. I don’t need a box to store my shit or a sticker for my pens or any of this kitschy shit

 

[AndyPanda]

I just wanted to clarify if this was another 'we gave a stranger your name and address' situation. Email is still bad; you can get a lot of information on someone from their email.

Yea you can. A basic open source information search is all it takes.

23 cents?

I heard ER holds daily raffles and gets somewhere around 150 dollars per printed box.

These are the same people with those huge live love and laugh stickers on their walls. I don't need that bullsh*t cult crap.

 

[GimmeABreak]

They just sent out an email and cc’d their entire customer list, so now everyone can see everyone’s info.

I didn't get an email from Peptide Test (I have had vials tested and bought filters from them). So maybe not their entire customer base.

I do t get how it can even be profitable to sell something that needs 20 hours of machine time to 3d print for $30

I used to sell peptide boxes so can speak to this. The margins were very good and demand was enormous. That may have changed since for most of that time there were only two of us doing it and we mostly tried not to make identical stuff. Demand dramatically exceeded my capacity to meet it; I probably could have charged significantly more than what I already considered too expensive.

I stopped doing it mainly because the writing was on the wall with a ton of people all starting to sell the boxes, and it took more of my time to manage the sales and do the work than you’d think. But if you don’t have a good paying job you can certainly make more selling peptide boxes and running group buys than driving for uber or something. That is unless all the new box makers have eaten each other and driven down the prices a ton, I haven’t really tracked the market.

It's noteworthy that this mass email was from their marketing activities, not from the day-to-day operations. Like wtf are these sleazy assholes constantly marketing for? Just be a lab and stop with the used car sales crap. There is no reason for a lab to be mass emailing anybody. Trustpointe really needs to just break free from peptest (the marketing guy who locked them into an exclusive contract just like he did with the filter wholesaler) and let the work stand on its own.

But they're cheaper than jano! What's a little privacy violation? Pff

Are they? Shipping to them is cheaper since it’s domestic but I thought they priced about the same as Jano, which is BS for a new lab with a questionable record. Other domestic labs cost less, where peptest’s marketing guy was “positioning as a premium option” or something but without the actual record to back it up.

🤷‍♀️ I might be thinking of the vanguard debacle. It was sarcastic, anyway. Could have sworn I saw someone saying they saved like $50 using them over jano- might have been because of shipping price.

Yeah shipping to Jano is really expensive.

No opt out button and I never opt in to marketing emails.

Peptide test if you keep sending unsolicited emails I'm going to report you to the fcc. Pretty sure leaked customer emails broke some law somewhere as well.

You're not their market. The hordes of facebook group moms and reddit grandpas that are injecting who knows what from anyone who DMs them is buying the fuck out of all of that random grifter alibaba shit.

There is just no way I’d have the time or the patience to run the printers that much and maintain them plus deal with shipping and customer service. No chance. I like printing stuff but as a hobby.

I got a storage thing for free somehow and it’s cool and all but I see all the flaws in it and the layer lines and its printed as well as I could do but I couldn’t charge whatever amount of money for that

Yooooooo my old ass feels triggered

Speaking of shit I don’t understand. The fucking labels? Like I need to remember what the med is and the concentration I don’t need a fancy color label with art work and shit. Who fucking cares? That one really irks me for no real reason 😂

Sometimes it’s nice to feel pretty

 

[rkl123]

My own conspiracy is that filtering isn’t necessary and is popularized because peptidetest emphasized it and did those tutorials etc.

 

[noteablequotable]

As an aside, I think it's funny that I started the EOY naughty list as a joke two days ago (a week before Christmas) and we have more than one late entry.

It's definitely not necessary but it is helpful and it does work. I've been doing some experiments with old dishwater and there is an immediate and noticeable difference in clarity and smell. Haven't had time to follow up with plate and vial tests yet though.

Me too! I am the only one that sees the labels on my vials. They need to be functional so I am not injecting the wrong stuff but come on! Are people pulling out their pep collections, in their fancy boxes, to show their friends on a Saturday night? I wonder if they put all their meds from CVS/Walgreens into custom pill bottles too?

Zip lock bags in a thermos (well multiple thermos') for long-term storage. In the plastic kits containers for anything I am currently pinning. Label includes source, COA QR, contents and date received. Simple.
