Does microwaving crashed gear degrade potency?!!

[Ozzy619]

I'm only saying chuck it because you're unsure and no one else knows the answer either... then again all it could've done is sterilize it repeatedly if it wasn't already...

Heating crashed gear doesn't sterilize it

Short answer is yes it kills potency.

Heat the vial in hot water or like others have suggested and use a hair dryer. If you draw with a syringe and heat the syringe, you will not get an even dosage.

If you want to solve the problem, add bb at 1/10 of a ml until it doesn't crash. I had a 100 ml vial of homebrew test cyp that crashed at around 60 degrees. I add 2 ml of bb and another ml of ba and problem solved.

Just thinking if there's a trace of moisture in there, micro waves target water, that's why they cook food from the inside out. Maybe it could, maybe it couldn't, Idk. Just saying, if microwaving gear doesn't destroy the ester or the molecule itself, all he'd possibly be doing is (possibly) killing some germs in the process of heating it.. I'd still toss it out due to uncertainty. Not worth the possible negative outcome... risk/benefit ratio isn't worth it to me, but it's not my gear.

It does damage the steroid. There is no good reason to microwave your steroids.

If your gear does crash, that should be a heads up. What it means is that when it comes to producing quality gear who ever did wouldn't know his ass from a hole in the ground if it jumped up and shit in his face.

But the vial is sealed so there's nowhere for the moisture to go anyway.

You'd need a lot of heat for a sustained period of time to sterilize it and a microwave is just a poor choice for this.

@Braveheart47

Taking into consideration what's been said, and that you are unsure if you're still getting the amount of T you've planned out your cycle to have, I'd say chuck it...it's just one vial. If you didn't plan ahead for something to go wrong and didn't buy extra or buy others to stay a cycle ahead, I'm sorry but you may have to cut your cycle by a week or two. IMO it's safer to know what you're putting into your body so your blood concentrations don't plummet, ya know?

I definitely have more, I just hate wasting(or messing up I should say) good T.

 

[Braveheart47]

Im gonna toss it

 

[Braveheart47]

I got bloods with this stuff too, i guess those are compromised now too, fml

 

[Spooby]

Sorry bro /: that sucks..

 

[Spooby]

Give it a proper burial

 

[CAswole]

Not the end of the world. Toss that shit and start again. Problem solved. Good luck bro

 

[Braveheart47]

Haha alright, thanks guys

 

[Docd187123]

Were your bloods good or bad? The bloods aren't compromised. They are what they are and if they're good I wouldn't throw it away

 

[NovaFlex]

i heat water in the microwave then throw it in the bowl while i shower. i have to do it every pin.

 

[crossfitisgay]

either @Pharmacom Labs or @Darius PharmacomStore often recommend using micro to heat vials. would like to hear from frank or Darius on this. experience trumps bro science.

 

[Bob Dole]

Personally I would toss it and buy new gear.

I haven't got the results back yet, when I do I plan to post them here and in the blood tests section

Yeah that would definitely be interesting to see

 

[Braveheart47]

Here are the bloods
24k crashed microwaved test e
Pinning 200mg/week
Bloods taken 48 hours after pinning 100 mg
Been pinning this stuff roughly 5 weeks

so microwaving gear is g2g
