Test E melting point is so low that you can get away without a hot plate. It does make the brewing process(i.e. dissolving and filtering) go faster if you warm it up a little.
This is the one I use for all my brews. I just leave it at the lowest heat setting just to be safe, then the magnetic stirrer works wonders.

Nothing crazy needed. I use a coffee cup warmer and a spoon to slightly speed up the process but Test E would combine even at room temp (unless you are in Alaska with the windows open or something)
Alright cool, thanks guys, so I’ll just opt for the mag stir plate for now, appreciate it.

Show us the options
Just the basic $30-$100 options on Amazon man. I can post some pics of you want lol.

What happens if you go too hot? I am going to be doing my first batch of test E and primo and I don’t have a hot plate with adjustable heat. I was just going to use my stove top on the lowest setting. Will this be ok?
All the ones I’ve seen on Canada Amazon with heating features are not controllable heat, only control stir, the heat just turns on with no controller for it except for the ones that are upwards of $300

I got my heated magnetic.stirrer off ebay for $76.. the heat controller is fussy.. I use a stainless steel digital thermometer to control heat.. I think it was a good purchase.. makes brewing so much easier.. and heat really helps and is almost nessacary with some compounds to not use super solvents I've been learning/taught by a experienced brewer.
Thank you!
I’m only brewing test E, and I was gonna say the heat control on those ones are poo poo, I had many really nice hot plates, heating baths, huge stir plates and a couple rotovaps many years back from a not totally related business venture, those have all long been siezed and probably destroyed... I don’t really know what they do with evidence after a case.
Think I’ll go with the one @MadBret suggested or just a regular stir plate if I really don’t need heat for this part of the process, but from what y’all are saying I may not need heat to dissolve, but it could speed up the filtering a little.
I mean, if it’s going to make it *any easier, and a more streamline process 40$-100$ isn’t much to pay for that, I wouldn’t b be spending 300,400+ for something like that but under 100 for sure.

What about test cyp? Does it need heat?
Look up the melting point and compare it to the E ester.
