Bold cyp not holding

I brewed up 120 mL of bold cyp at 210 mg/mL and 2/20 and it wouldn’t hold until once I took it off the heat. I bumped that up to 2/25 and it crashed again while it was still stirring.

I’m thinking 1 of 2 things happened. Either I totally fucked up the brew or my compounds were incorrectly labeled. Any insight?
 
How much heat? The melting point is 300f+. What i would do is heat it up until it goes into solution (i would guess between 160-200f) then add oil which will increase solubility. Then whereever you store make sure the ambient temp is about 68-72f

I should have but did not measure the temp. It was not too hot for me to hold though. I imagine at most it hit 150f. And I’m storing it in the dark at 70f (it’s in a kitchen cabinet). What surprised me even more is that it crashed while still stirring. My last batch of bold cyp held fine (and is still holding fine) at 2/25

Could be the raws hard to say. I would shoot for hotter since you dont have to worry about hitting the melting point too quickly. Once you hit the melting point the risk of degradation is much higher depending on the compound. The bb will hold more when heated

I’ll try heating it again. I heated it at 20, then again when I made it 22.5 bb, I didn’t hear it again after adding enough to get to 25
 
This is my second time brewing and my second time with it being a pain in the ass lol. Last time it wasn’t nearly this painful though. How do you brew it? I’m all for working smarter not harder
Haven't brewer bold cyp yet.. just bold u/eq.. that's easy peasy lol.. you would think cypionate would be much harder..

I’ve brewed about 10 different compounds now, and the only ones that gave me issue are bold cyp and DHB (unfortunately I had to trash the DHB). Bold cyp isn’t as easy as adding a little heat for 30 mins, letting cool for an hour, then filtering. Maybe next time I’ll get it the first time. 3rd times a charm.

I’ve never used eq, but I don’t really care to because I don’t want to deal with a compound with such a long half life. But I did like bold cyp, and I have some bold ace waiting to be brewed too.

Any have any advice on brewin bold ace?
 
Dhb can be tough.. I made some at 100mg .. 50/50 mct/eo..I know guys can get it to hold wt 100mg without eo but I wasn't in the mood to experiment..

Bold ace?... I read about 3 reviews. Not many I could find at the time.. that bold ace hurt like a bitch..

I may try bold cyp soon.. just a little faster saturation period..

210mg (which I ended up at exactly because those 98%+ Bolde Cyp raws may be close to 100% purity in retrospect) is certainly prone to crashing at 2/20, so if you've not labtested the finished product, the issue may be due to it being higher than 210mg due to underestimating raw purity.

I got the raws from panda, not sure who you got yours from. But I’m sure you probably figured out I wanted 200 mg/ml with a 5% OD. I planned to brew 120mL (119 to more more precise) but it’s closer to 125 mL after adding 6 more mL of bb to bring it up to 25%. Assuming ~100% purity it should be right at 200 mg/mL (more likely to be 196-198 I suppose).

but yea I’ll definitely have to remember for next time that bold cyp needs a lot more time and attention than most other raws.
 
Lower doses? Why not 100 mg/ml
I don't like injecting anymore oil than I have to. I've never used high concentration gear, but I'll usually bump up the dosage a little more than what you would normally see, when I can get away with it. I certainly don't want to go lower concentration

I made EQ once with basically 70% bb. Lol

i made a brew that was suppose to be 80 mL or something like that, but filtered into one 30 mL vial. Realized once i was done i forgot to add the oil. But still pinned it with no problems. Pinned just as is and pinned when adding to other compounds in the syringe. So you could def bump bb up if needed.
 
That's fucking ballsy lol. I don't feel so worried about running up the BB now
Because if you run the bb to 30-40. To get it to hold, then make a vial of sterile oil, or mix in a syringe with test with 10-15 bb, it would even out.

but just to get it to hold. Just a thought if all else fails.

edit-and if its for personal use.
 
Yesterday I ran it up to 170f for an hour and it has been holding for the last 20 hours, and this is at 2/25 still. I don't have any sterile vials right now so it is going to sit in it's beaker in the dark for a couple of days until I have some ready, so I will have plenty of time to see if it will hold.

EDIT: if it crashes again, I'll run it up to 3/30, try it again, and if it STILL crashes after that, I'll send it to Jano for testing

That's why I keep bold cyp at 150mg/ml.
Try to add 5-10% EO,reheat, and see what happened,you can save this batch no worry.
