Received oil instead of powder. Now what?

[Gain grenade]

In my latest order of raws, I got some eq along with some others. Apparently eq comes as a liquid? The source has had excellent communication and assures me the contents in the bottle are the equivalent of what I thought I was receiving.

I am unsure how to proceed with my math. Typically I use an online calculator but that’s for powders and their gravity’s.


Please advise.

Weight is weight. 100g of raw powder is equivalent to 100g of liquid in weight.

For an easy plan get you media bottle, beaker, whatever you're using to mix before you filter and fill it up with water to whatever your intended volume is going to be. Mark the glass at the fill line you just established. With the glass dried, add your eq and solvents. Now take your carrier and fill to the established full line.

Done.

Ok. So my confusion/concern is...

When I weigh my raw powders I consider it to be pure
Am I to consider the liquid to be pure as well?

Such as... 1 gram of liquid is literally 1 gram of eq? Just as I consider 1 gram of test e powder to be literally 1 gram of test e.

Yeah man, weight is weight no matter what. 1g of iron is the same as 1g of feathers, regardless of volume. Same applies for liquid/powder.

Solid advice by @ickyrica. I'm assuming you have a beaker with the total amount of ML's on it +/- 5% for Pyrex? Makes it much easier. If you can tell us how many ML's you are trying to make and at what mg/mL we might be able to help you a bit more.

Thanks. I was having trouble understanding the fact that the eq is simply in a liquid state as opposed to being in solution.

 

[Opti]

Yes exact thing in regards to weight. You have nothing to worry about in regards to this.

I have 50 grams and want 300mg/ml. 20% 2%ish


I usually use a calculator but I’ll take input from others.

Do you have a beaker with the capacity of 150ml? The reason I ask is that if you brew 150ml the mg/mL will approximately be 333mg/mL, 10% overdosed.

I think 20%BB is a bit of an overkill seeing as how BU already comes in a semi-liquid state. I usually do 10%BB.

If you decide to keep it at 20%BB/2%BA. Weigh your 50g of BU-in your beaker, put 60mL of BB, 6mL of BA, and add oil to the 150mL line on your beaker. That's all the math necessary. We could be more meticulous but it is a bit of an overkill. You can apply a bit of heat to help with the blending of solutions.

Yeah 20% would be overkill
I did 1/10 @500mg/ml and had no issues

 

[Gain grenade]

Can’t thank y’all enough. I just assumed 20% was standard. But all I’ve brewed is test.

Yes I have a 500ml beaker and a heated stir plate

 

[Vfljuicer]

1/10 ratio is what I like...it would work at 300mg without any bb but it’s a thick compound and the bb really helps to thin it down. So it’s honestly not needed to hold into solution but you will be glad you added it when pushing through a pin.

Every compound and ester attached is different. Prop tends to be lower concentrations. Enanthate can be done much higher (test e and equipoise but notably not primobolan e). Test e and equipoise also have low melting points and can be liquid or turn to liquid and re-solidify during shipping.

Cheers for having made a relatively minimal investment in the right equipment by the way. Heated stirrer is < $100. Pays for itself in the first brew. Bottle top filter is a no brainer on payback too. Can get multiple, media bottles with septa, and vacuum pump < $100.

Yep I have that stuff as well

I wouldn't call EQ a liquid. More like a thick gel.
Just weigh it. While a little harder to weigh than powders, it can be done.

Yes, especially when it is cold.

Lol @ ordering EQ and not knowing that it's a syrup/liquid form in the undecylinate ester.

Didn't you bother to even look up the difficulty of brewing the items that you ordered beforehand? So you could choose the easiest method for your first time around?

Then you questioned the source over if it's real lol? They probably lol'd at you because that screams you don't know wtf you're doing lol. "Hey uh this EQ is a syrup. It's supposed to be a powder". Lol.

What if that was the hardest form of EQ to brew? You wouldn't even have known. How are you doing home brew... And you didn't bother... TO LOOK UP HOME BREW!

Oh you waited until afterwards to look that up right? Hopefully you looked up about fuckin filtering your product beforehand not afterwards.

LOL.
