SymBiotics (U.S. domestic)

Yeah it seems from his response that things will be made right. I will check my vials as soon as I return home. I will check either way but I am curious if he feels it was primarily MCT Products or GSO was potentially affected as well.

While ideally it will happen extremely infrequently, I do put stock in how a source handles issues when they do arise, so it is good to see a prompt explanation and resolution.

Don't have to deal with some ASF BS around here LOL.
I haven't completed examining nearly 1/10th of them but I haven't found anything in 634 NPP vials. That is what I picked out to inspect first.
From which batch of vials were they from?month? @SymBiotics I got some test-e like March ,April...anyone know?
These should have been made after that time.
I'm glad sym is making things right after his first slip with floaters.

However, if he now recalls seeing a issue with possible fibers, shouldn't he be even more careful to inspect his vials before shipping? He said it was months ago he bought the problem sheets but this doesn't excuse letting these, and probably more ship out. I personally expect a few more people to find floaters now as 2 or 3 have surfaced so far.

This brings back memories of gemstone and more recently greyscale, who was crucified over it. Everyone is going to feel differently and sym has had zero foreign object issues till now but I don't want to order from someone wondering if something other than oil is in my vials.
I understand this and I would imagine an entire tray of vials could have had inclusions. The problem is that I do not know anything for sure. I can't put my hands on the vial in the picture to examine it and I can't see the other things that are reported.
Damn it @SymBiotics!!!

Floaters are just about the kiss of death. What’s the point of properly doses gear if it’s got foreign matter in it?

There are a couple things here that are concerning in your admission of wrongdoing. For one, why have a flow hood if the fucking autoclave trays don’t fit inside. It’s not exactly a flow hood then is it? You got too big and can’t handle the demand so you’ve been cutting corners filling vials outside of the flow hood for how long now? Tsk tsk

Then, you notice inferior wrappings. You pull that one out and notice lint-like shit gets dispersed. You tossed a few trays as a precaution but you didn’t toss ALL. That’s another shortcut. All of this because you got too big and couldn’t keep up.

We warned you of that back in your intro and vetting process. We tell every source that comes here that if they do things the correct way they will be overwhelmingly busy. And look what happened.

You had an out less than two weeks ago too. The “return to shipper” pack should have sent you private. But you’re not doing gods work here, friend, you’re raking in the bitcoins. That announcement of maybe going private of maybe taking only XMR sent demand skyrocketing. One final BIG haul and then you promised yourself you’d take it easy. How’d that go?

Sources are good until they go bad. You fucked up and cut corners. That’s how it usually goes. Now this was floaters in vials. But imagine if you cut corners on your drops. Hit the close ones a couple too many times. You could have been facing something worse for you than dirty gear.

This is over and done with. Read the Sasquatch thread. They found floaters, shut-down, refiltered everything and came back to hang on for a couple more months before disappearing permanently.

Make everyone whole and think about your next move. You could go out honest and free or you could continue on, make a couple costly mistakes and lose a lot more than you are prepared to lose.
No, discarding the stack of trays was absolutely not a shortcut. I removed what I considered an ample margin. When a person gets operable cancer, the surgeon cuts out a margin of the defective tissue. He doesn't kill the patient.
Also, my autoclave trays do fit the hood. Just the boxes of vials AND the autoclave trays won't fit at the same time.
Regarding going private and XMR only: I actually have the whole thing typed in Word and ready to post. I planned to do so this weekend; but it seems less important now.
What you are suggesting is greed and being overwhelmed. I am neither. I have actually not been very busy at all lately; and not being able to go to my real job has afforded me ample time to do this. I just didn't see the contaminants. I have no other explanation.
Sym bitotics I know you gave this your all. It’s tough for one man to do all this shit especially with one hand as you had to do in the past months. While dirty gear is unacceptable I know good and well you gave everything you have into the quality of your products. That has been your reputation from the start of your journey. I put more faith in you as a source than anyone else still. This is a sign that you need to look for someone to help you brew. You are just overwhelmed man. I know you work diligently and care about our safety. I suggest taking a break and looking for someone to help you brew gear.
This is not a mistake from overwork. I have ample time lately. I simply failed at seeing the contaminants before packaging the vials.
Hes all excuses bro. You've been on here long enough to know this is how it always kicks off. Ive seen good sources on here kick rocks for less...He can either bow out with some dignity or carry on like you said. Apparently his fan club has zero issues with contaminated vials. Odd....
I have made no excuses.
What do you mean Symptoms has one hand?
I am in a shoulder immobilizer for a bit longer.
Never ordered a thing from the man. I have private sources I order from who inspect everything before they send it out. Don’t get me wrong - he did great with testing, professionalism, customer service and everything else but the man should have bowed out for a time to recoup but he didn’t. And it’s not because of US that he stuck around. To quote the man himself:

“In Summary

Please buy illegal drugs from me. They are really well made, they will help you reach your performance goals; and I need the money.”
I did take time off to recover. I have not compounded anything since the first week of June.
Dude. They all lie. You think he was 100% honest throughout?

He’s a biologist that spends a lot of time out in a boat

His wife is a pharmacist

He’s in his 50s

He’s got a teenage daughter that has a friend that wants to fuck him

A tree fell on his house

He has a remote lab built on property that’s out of the way

He had surgery

If he’s honest, you can see the digital map with the alphabet guys honing in on him right now in the movie.

OR he tells some stories to throw those alphabet guys off his track.

Which do you think is more likely? Which would you do?
Most of this is actually true.
I absolutely love the fish (symbol for jesus) on the bottle in the pic with the floater lol. To me it says "I absolutely love and worship Jesus" "but you, not so much" "I just love your money".

I have to ask here @SymBiotics do you tithe the proceeds you make off this illegal business or do you just ignore the fact the Jesus sees every dime you're making and the fact that the offering plate is missing that grand a week when you pass it along??
This has been discussed more than once.
Yes, I do tithe with this money without fail; and it is more than 10%.





All in all folks: I made a mistake----actually multiple mistakes, it appears. Each vial that left my hands was handled by me many times. I sterilize them, fill them, stopper them, crimp them, label them and ship them. I call myself looking for contaminants at each point in which I can visualize the contents.
I don't know if I was sleepy or my eyes are getting bad or if it was inattentive blindness; but I have and do continue to assume the entire responsibility for any flaw in my products.

If this can't be rectified; then so be it. I will understand.
But, to completely execute a person who has the intention to correct a mistake while assuming all responsibility----that seems as if mistakes can't be made and perfection is the only way to remain here.
I never promised perfection but rather the antithesis of it; and you all said that the way mistakes were handled was more important than flawless delivery. Was this incorrectly stated?

I do not want to ever be anywhere I am not welcome. That is a disgusting feeling; and I want no part of it. If I am asked to leave this forum by objective members; I will gladly never post again.

In the event that this is my last post here:
I have greatly enjoyed these last few months here and I hope that some people have found benefit from using my products.
I am greatly appreciative of the opportunity to serve you. I truly apologize for any and all errors I have made.
 
What’s your opinion on pinning the gear with non visible floaters? The NPP did have 4 vials that looked fine and I did get other things as well that looked good.

In my opinion I would refilter anything recently purchased from Sym. With a .22 pvdf syringe filters and new sterile vials. That is much cheaper than a stay in the hospital because of a infection.
 
No problem. I completely agree.

Giving passes for shit like this opens the door for any shithead source to come in. Quit LOWERING the standards guys. We spend a lot of time elevating the expectations and that’s why you have TESTED gear now.

Hair and shit in the gear is a MAJOR fuckup. What do you think happens if you accidentally injected that? Nothing? Then do it and learn your lesson the hard way.

You can bumble thru brewing your own testosterone for $3 a vial but you’re paying a “professional” 10x that. It’s almost as easy as making koolaid. What are you paying for when it’s got shit floating in it?


someone with a little common sense would be able to make their own stuff.its literally a few dollars for a cycle when brewing your own gear.
 
I haven't completed examining nearly 1/10th of them but I haven't found anything in 634 NPP vials. That is what I picked out to inspect first.

Like I said, it happened to Sasquatch too. Read that thread. They shut-down to refilter their entire inventory because they couldn’t pinpoint where the problem originated. If there’s any doubt you need to either toss gear or refilter.

This was a big mistake Sym. It’s broken trust that it took a year for you to build. I don’t know if you can come back from this. A lot of guys take it for granted that they are injecting clean gear and now you’re in our heads.

Mistakes happen. One or two vials here or there. But this was a BIG mistake. Effecting what looks to be about 30% of the orders.

Guys pay a premium so that you make sure this doesn’t happen. It’s a real bad look to say the least.

this kind of statement doesn’t do much to help the situation, but does shine a light on the poor approach to what people say is member harm reduction

if a situation arises where a source is stating they’ll shut down, fix the problem, and refund people affected by the problem should people that aren’t even ordering from the source come in and post “we all knew it leave you fucking idiot you’re done!” for 10 pages? if the goal is harm reduction, do you really want to make a source feel so unwelcome that he becomes motivated to say fuck it and not refund or help anyone that received contaminated vials? it’s beneficial for people to have an ounce of awareness and encourage that members are made whole with immediate refunds rather than run a contest to see who can make a source bounce the fastest

on the other side, it’s really poor behavior to follow up an explanation of the contamination with “i can just leave and never post again if that’s what you really want...? is it? because i will!”
 
It’s fucking awful timing too @SymBiotics. We have a lot of new to MESO guys that got tired of the shit that was going on at ASF. So they joined here because they like the “lab-tested gear” approach. Now we’re showing that we have issues here as well.

You need to take the day today and/or tomorrow to come up with a kick-ass proposal for this. More than just “whoopsie” I don’t know how this happened here’s replacements. You need upgraded protocol to ensure this never ever happens. You’re smart. Spend some time figuring this out. This is your most important moment. Come back with something real good and the community can decide whether you’re a viable source or not. Money talks. If your sales dry up moving forward then you got your answer.
 
You good bro, don’t sweat it. We are all human...


LMAO don't sweat it, Really!. Sym needs to be heald accountable here especially since there alot of newbies that only come here to get their gear and may never log back in to see the latest BS that could potentially effect them or even you!

Its all good till your the one sitting in the hospital with a infection in your ass from his contaminated gear.

Well meso gonna meso. You should know by now that this board holds sources to the highest standards. BUT also know that the squeaky wheel tends to get the grease . Much of the negative clout you’ll get from this are from people who never intended to buy your product anyways.

Understanding your history and using multiple vials of your product myself, your explanation is sufficient. I know others likely agree but won’t say anything out of fear of the piss troopers. More people here would rather you fail than succeed. That’s just meso.

FWIW- I’ve had a floater in a vial of I picked up from CVS on 2 separate occasions so this happens even on the highest level of quality control.
 
I think the most frustrating thing here is that Sym was a good source who had done everything asked of him. How many sources never get off the ground because they come in unprepared? How many get going but within a few months are dead in the water because they keep fucking up? This guy did all the testing that the community asked for. He incentivized users to test. He shipped fast. He answered questions. For a lot of us he was the go-to source because we could trust that what we were buying was what we wanted. A mistake like this is such a gut punch precisely because it seemed as though this was a reliable source who was meeting this community’s standards of harm reduction. It’s like discovering your favorite restaurant just failed their health inspection. One part wants to forgive them and the other part is furious because they put your health at risk. I don’t know if I’ll ever order from him again, but I wouldn’t begrudge someone else for walking away OR for giving him a second chance. We each have to make our own choices, and at the end of the day it’s on each member to decide what they’re willing to tolerate. So @SymBiotics you should stick around, update everyone as to what you’re doing, and keep to your word about making this right. If after that point you decide to keep selling then expect members to be on your ass constantly and assume that you’re working from a deficit. Remember, some of us here like you, but you’re a source and the members—even the ones that we don’t like all that much—come first.

I feel you bro.. I sure don’t want to loose a quad or ass cheek. Christ. I was just tryna ease him up a bit.. my fault.
 
I think it's a bit naive to think that this can't happen to a one man show. If you want perfection, you're not going to find it.

Not even with pharma grade.

Just two weeks ago the same happened to Mylan, one of the world's biggest pharmaceuticals company:

Mylan recalls lot of injectable daptomycin after particulates show up in vial

I'm not saying it should have happened, but if this can happen to Sym, think about what others sources (that don't this as serious as him), might be polluting their gear with.

Pretty sure most of them don't even take most precautions that Sym takes. The guy created a dedicated offsite lab for this, while most sources are brewing in their living rooms with beer and their babies on the table.

I'm sure I'll get shit for this but it's just my opinion.

I rather buy my gear from someone that this happened to once and who will make it right, than from someone that I expect this from to happen all the time and who couldn't care less.

@SymBiotics

I'll echo some of what he said. Even though you lost some customers as a result, many will continue to buy so you'll have a second chance. I don't think you should pack up and leave yet (but if this ever happens again, you're done).
 
You guys shouldn’t give him an immediate free pass. That’s bullshit. This is serious. Make him think it all thru (you know, “work for it”) and come back with his proposed corrections.

I swear to fuck you kill me because we bust our asses vetting these guys. I can give you tons of brand new sources that are “good-ish”. The next crackhead will get my “g2g”. The blasé attitude hear sucks lately.

I was totally intending to use his services in the future which is why I started snooping around this thread. The amount of floaters he sent out is astounding. In my opinion there is no coming back from this. My eyes were tired is no excuse for the sheer quantity of floaters found. Like eyesight aside where the fuck were you storing your vials for that much shit to get in them, let alone what looks like a insect leg?? This is a total lack of sterility through and through. Inspection alone doesnt cut it for me cause how did that much crap make it in the vials in the first place is where I'm stuck at.
