Normal?

[Steve84]

Just curious if this is normal....

Have you ever ran a vial under hot water and had the label start to peel off?
I recently started to do this before pip and normally no matter what the label sticks, but on something new it started to peel off....

Rare? Should I be concerned?

I wouldn't worry too much....I think some people may use higher quality labeling but if it's just standard paper label....well...paper+water...you know the rest haha

its no good if the label comes off.

Just kidding, you'll be fine. Use a sharpie to label it or replace it with some water resistant labels.

I am curious to know what concerns you about the label coming off?

 

[Steve84]

I've never had it happen to me before.
Normally I source through a local source and never had an issue with the label, but I decided to take a plunge online for an order.
Of course that's the one that peeled.
However, the name carries some weight... but no official test results.

Just was surprised that it peeled I guess.

paper back labels are prone to peal off in water. I guess some are more resilient than others.

Put your vial(s) in a zip lock bag to protect label but mainly to protect it from water. You don't want water to somehow seep inside.

Or heat your vial(s) using a coffee machine.

Or draw in syringe and then warm using hair dryer.

It shouldn't be any concern, unless you like to keep empty vial w/label around your house..Making it easier for LE to bust you! Usually, I peel if off-this way, in case guests comes over and use our Master bathroom.. they wouldn't know

Labels are glue based. Any label will peel if put under hot water or left in luke warm for a certain amount of time. If the printing looks professional and it's a glossy style stock paper you should be good. Now if the ink started smearing off if it got wet right away that's a different story. Quality gear is definitely defined by the love put into how it's labelled and bottled (for the most part anyways)

No offense but not true at all. I can buy top notch halo graphic labels for 100$ and put pharma grade on them. labels mean nothing. A trusted source is all it comes down to.

Ok. I'll admit that yes it is cheap to buy quality labels. But I would hope most scammers don't think like that. When bottling I find that the polishing touch like nice labels, good stock and putting them on straight shows that the lab cares. But then there are some who think about the fast buck and yes, put money out to make items look pretty only to sell lies to unfortunate consumers.
