sp5der - QUALITY US DOMESTIC

Wow...how do you even sort through this shit? So exhausting dealing with all that stupidity.

It just baffles me that people find this thread, don't think to read through some of it, or at LEAST the first page/first few posts which in general are ALWAYS from the source posting their info. I guess the dummy tax will be paid a few times by some of these idiots haha
 
Really ?

That’s only 10 tc and 5 tne

Pretty small amount

But again 500 won’t be min lol
Small amount for who? I buy and use UGL test for TRT. A vial lasts me 4-5 months.
I feel you guys are going abit far with this storage thing..
But it works yes.

One needle in, bubble through the oil and one needle out.
Argon does dissolve a lil in the oil.

There's a guy who was talking about buying vacuumed vials at 0.3 a pop from India, you could just do that from CN and it'd be a much easier experience.

or..just get one of these..

They have smaller bottles i believe, i dont remember. 250/500
1 gallon of test, please!
 
After going through @AllGoodThings long-term storage thread, it got me thinking.

Years ago, I brewed wine and honey (mead) as a hobby. One thing I learned pretty quickly is that wine and mead absolutely improve with age, but not just by being tossed in a bottle and forgotten.

There’s a reason you hear that distinctive pop when a cork releases. Commercially, there’s often a small amount of inert gas (like argon) occupying the headspace. That gas helps reduce oxygen exposure over time.

Because the real downfall in long-term storage isn’t time itself, it’s oxygen. Oxidation leads to degradation.

So while digging through old gear in the garage, I came across my old argon gas regulator and had a thought...What if?

What if, instead of leaving oils in small standard vials with normal air headspace, you transferred them into larger 30 mL, 50 mL, even 100 mL sterile vials, and displaced the air in the headspace with argon gas?
You can certainly do this with 10ml vials as well, just don't blow the topper.

In theory...
Argon is inert
It’s heavier than air
It displaces oxygen
It reduces oxidation in other applications (wine, mead, food storage)
So the question becomes If oxygen is the long term enemy of stability, could inert gas displacement meaningfully extend shelf life in stored oils?

Essentially like regulating the pressure on a new HGH vial, you would insert one pin to purge, while pinning the argon line and displacing oxygen. Of course you would need some PPE, a new sterile vial and measure pressure first while probably blowing a few toppers. But hey if you're holding that much stock long-term this is a minor addition. Even small hand held can editions exist.

Just thinking out loud here.

I'm going to shut my brain off now. It's going to force me to try this.
I have a couple tests running in that long term storage thread doing just this with some of this source's TRA. Interested in some more feedback if you have any thoughts on the testing process or thoughts on your exp as you noted.
