It all comes down to the manufacturing process, they make it differently now, A
And it doesn't like to be stored. So if you use it fresh, brew all of it immediately, you're good to go. If you try to store any amount of time ,it starts to break down, oxidizes, and it goes to shit. It kind of defeats the purpose of buying raw test unless you're a lab, A normal person doesn't want to brew all of it at once, they want to vac seal it and put it away in storage. So it comes down to your application, If you're selling it, you're probably okay as long as it didn't sit around in a melted state for months. If you're buying it for TRT, It's generally a terrible idea, You're only ever going to get to use the first batch, once you get around to brewing it the second time, the pip will be so awful you just end up throwing it out anyways. You're better off buying any other Ester of test except E. In my opinion the only minor drawback, Is the concentration that you can get it to hold successfully without crashing, and with some screwing around, It's not that much different, I've been able to get it to hold at 350mg very well with a very small percentage of EO added. So if you must take more you just have to do an extra shot or two each week. Everybody hates EO on here , I'm personally very fascinated with it... I've had several things that just will not hold because I obviously made them too strong, And just adding 5 or 10% EO to it has fixed it every time.. It's probably my most favorite solvent and the one I'm quite curious going forward, I'm wondering exactly what else it can do If you used more than just 5 or 10% , I have a suspicion you could make some very high concentrations of things. I added 3 ml of EO to a 50 ml bottle of Test c at 350mg , And it never crashed again.. It does so much with such a little amount in my experience and very useful with brewing test C
