MCT lumps/knots fix?

[Ridethelightningbarefoot]

could the reason of lumps be too much ba or bb? or would it definetly be the carrier oil?

I always brew 10-13%bb and .8% ba with gso and it works well. Try switching to gso and see if it helps you or a lot of people are talking about cotton seed oil working for them

Could be too much BA/BB and also the concentration of what you’re pinning. What are you using that’s giving the knots?

Another thing to try.... MCT is thinner too so just as it’s easier to draw, it’s also easier to inject. Careful on that part. Don’t slam in just because the plunger goes down easier. That’s making the tip of the needle like a pressure-washer. Slowly inject so the oil isn’t blasting into the muscle.

I believe you said it correctly here- too much ba or bb is what I heard is the reason as well

 

[Tony2tone]

Probably too much bb or ba because the gear I’m using right now is in mtc oil and it’s some of the smoothest gear I’ve ever used. Even the t400 smooth as fuck no pip

thanks all, im currently using 18%/2% formula for everything
im still getting knots and just injecting 1ml 250mg test e
every now and again ill have a shot that doesnt leave a knot ?

 

[Oroku_Saki]

I can't use mct also, but you could try to inject just the filtered oil to see of you are reacting to the carrier itself, or some component of your brew.
Also, TestE Is known for extreme issues lately, had to toss 500g of it myself.

is there a fix for MCT carrier oil knots/lumps??
have to massage gun them out all the time and im getting over it
thinking about switching to GSO, is GSO that much thicker?
can you easily pin 3ml GSO ?? and what is shelf life of GSO?
does having the knots slow down absorbtion or increase chance of infection? id think it would be messing with absorption either way??
any other suggestions to fix this? or any other carriers on par with MCT?

Try to plunge more slowly and just massage with your thumb on the site

Been having connection issues with meso somehow. But the cso is thicker than mct by a noticeable amount. I also found that I like it much better and it agrees with my body way better. Smooth no knots. Takes longer to filter and longer to draw up but you get what you put in to it. I like my first batch of cyp better than anything I have bought over the years honestly. CSO for me.

CSO is the best IMHO but can you push that through the syringe filter .2 whatman

 

[Slicknyc]

MCT reactions are quite common.

Yes absolutely. In all honesty the it will take a while. Checkout the thread I started alternative to caulking gun in the homebrew section. Either choose one of those methods or the caulking gun. I broke a sweat pushing 40ml through. Get the cheap pump and disposable bottle tops filters and be done with it imo.

sheesh how do you sterilize your vials? My gf is a chemistry professor and said I could just use a baby bottle sterilizer. I just wanted to get a few brews down before I start investing more lol

Buy presterilized.

Buy presterilized.

That’s what I’m doing now but if you want to use bottle top filters and a pump you need open vials.

Yeah and no. Theres ways, one being use a sterile syringe and draw it up and pin bottle. Or open the sterile bottle which even though it works I wouldn't want it to be the norm, or I think you can buy sterile uncrimped bottles.

A big batch of bottles and caps with crimps is the last tool I need. I'll be getting it by the time I run out of the ones I have. Until then I'll just pin the sterile ones like I mentioned above.

To open a crimped vial use a key or something and run it around the under side and wiggle it off. I used to do this in my junkie days and would fill it with a few grams of dope and sterile water so I could just draw up a load quick anytime. It was good dope so it worked well. I have revealed the same vial about 7 times

I get what you’re saying but I’ve only seen vials without a top and sterile vials. My gf is actually a chemist and she suggested I just use a baby bottle Sterilizer if I wanted to go the bottletop filter route. She didn’t think there would be a major difference in sterility unless I were to spend several hundred dollars.

I may go that route but first I wanna make a few batches with the syringe filter into a sterile vial. Wanna see how that final product comes out and I guess mainly concerned about my raws.

 

[whoremoan1]

anyone know if i can mix 50/50 mct oil and GSO
would that work and possibly help with lumps and also thinner than strait GSO??

I would go straight GSO to eliminate MCT as a possible cause. Why risk another batch knotting you up- nothing like gear and zero knots. What was the last batch 250mg/ml?

 

[whoremoan1]

yes 250 mg... what i dont understand is why now? i would of had to of used mct years ago from UGLS but never had lumps like this ? could it be the brand of mct im using ?

I use the “NOW” foods brand of MCT. An 80:20 ratio of MCT:GSO is smooth asf (except for test prop, that shit hurts regardless of the carrier for me).
