Alright I've been milling over the situation. I'm not avoiding what's requested of me I'm ADDRESSING it so hear me out. It's not just me that has a problem here it's YOUR RULE as I've found out.
Even though I've gotten quite a bit of support privately and several orders, fact is none of these people will dare post LABMAX or they'll be labeled shill. Good gear should be able to sell itself, but that can't be the case when there is literally no way humanly possible to please some of you with respected voices - voices that prevent others from posting test results.
I did a little reading into these sources people keep saying I am...... sorry but I'm smarter than these assclowns
From Titan's thread quote from @lightspan. What the FUCK happened to you bro?? I've been ignoring you in this thread glancing over your comments because I truly thought you were just an idiot. Now I see you have graduate level education and know your shit? If you would've come at me level-headed these conflicts could possibly have been resolved already. Dick measuring contests don't produce results.... the hypothetical ones anyways. Let's be reasonable and work on SOLUTIONS. You clearly have the capacity to do so.
From Hoyt's thread. Anything a source posts is a lose-lose he's right. That's why I offered the $100 LABMAX incentive, but MESO won't even allow that to happen.
Well let's look at the implementation of CoC rule #1 and how it actually works not in principal, but IN PRACTICE. First off, multiple sources haven't posted pics AT ALL and were still given a chance WITHOUT offering testing compensation even, at least nothing near $100 for a LABMAX. Sunaven is one of them but I'm not going to read through pages and pages to find more.
Titan posted pictures of equipment located in a COLLEGE LABROOM. Any of the 21 million Americans attending college can walk into a lab room and slap a sticky note on a piece of equipment for a picture. He was smart enough to edit out most of the surroundings with the autoclave picture at least, because if he didn't it would be obvious where it was located. Next is the Labconco purifier class 2 Biosafety cabinet he posted..... which costs between $9,000-$12,000..... you seriously think a brand new first time source could or would buy something THAT expensive on top of the already pricey autoclave?? We're talking over $15,000 here possibly. Not only that, but it's not very useful for brewing - the cabinet that is. At least not $9-12,000 useful. The safer the better sure but in reality if finished bottled+capped products are being claved and not being produced by an imbecile they are completely sterile. Period. He was given a chance anyways despite these absurdly obvious lies.
Concerning a currently active source here name redacted..... The autoclave he posted on page 1 is a Tuttnauer 2340m. The autoclave posted on page 5 with the sticky note on it is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MODEL - the Tuttnauer EZ10k. No one even noticed he posted pictures of two different autoclaves LOL! But it gets better. The first clave again is OBVIOUSLY in a college labroom. The Tuttnauer 2340m measures 21.5 inches across which is roughly the same distance between the two large windows behind the clave. Where in your house are two LARGE windows less than 2 feet apart from eachother? This is inconsistent with any home design I've seen, yet entirely consistent with a college lab's design. The countertop in the pic looks to be either epoxy resin or laminate.... runs flush up against the wall.... all inconsistent with home design (unless a family man keeps his autoclave in the kitchen I guess) yet entirely consistent with your average college labroom schematic. At least the ones I personally took classes in.
I have a Bachelor's degree in a field of Science. Still have my student ID. How hard do you think it would be for me to go slap a sticky note on some fancy equipment and snap a pic? In principal the rule makes sense. In practice? Punishes honesty and rewards lies. Your rule is broken.
From Titan's thread. This is my point. I don't even bother with sterility when brewing or even pre-filtering through the .45 micron filter. No reason to. I do this OUTSIDE of the room I use for bottling and capping even. It's the final transfer from sterile media bottle to sterile vials that matters - that's it. That's when I scrub up.
It would be different if it was just a pic of equipment that's reasonable, but that's not what is wanted here. I'm being asked to send a picture of a room inside my own home all lab equipment included directly to LE by posting public. Not only that.... but what the hell are you looking for? It's a fucking carpeted bedroom with a workbench and a $100 HEPA filter in it. I didn't lie about having fancy shit.
Upload the specs so you can call bullshit on them. Yeah let me get right on that. Sounds productive. This set the tone for the whole thread.
The drama surrounding specs is why I INCENTIVED testing and made a temporary no minimum order. I'll send out free samples gladly for either mass spec or LABMAX. I've read you guys are against this sort of thing so I didn't offer this at the start.
Look.... creating problems with no possible recourse is redundant. That's what has happened here. Let's talk SOLUTIONS and I'll work with you.
If MESO decides to boot me over a technicality I just irrefutably proved fallible then I'll be on my merry way. There's a lot of good bros here I know that from emails and PMs so I do want to be here, but I don't make the rules.
To those who have already ordered or will order soon - I understand you can't post results here without being flamed. I've reached out to moderators on another forum. If the MODs approve, you can post your LABMAX tests over there when I'm listed and receive the credit still. If the MODs disapprove of allowing members from elsewhere to post I'll give you the credit anyways - no LABMAX needed.

Also, seriously impressed with the group in this thread right now. Lots of calm reasoning and helpful comments. No pissing matches, angst-ridden tren-fuelled paranoia or anything for at least two pages. Hallefuckinglujah.

honestly have no dog in this fight, but it just seems like you guys are looking for reasons to shoot this guy down. Which is good in a way, but also, he does have a point. Whenever a source provides tests here everybody claims they are fabricated and full of shit. When a source doesn't provide tests everybody claims they're cooking in their bath tub. You can't have it both ways.

Truthfully like myth kind of hinted towards, all that really matters in the end is the vials are clean and the oil is run through a .2 filter.

You had a response typed up but can see everyone has made up their mind? You sound like every other whiny little bitchy UGL on here complaining about their potential customers calling them out on legitimate claims, and then having no appropriate answer to respond with... Typical as fuck. Get over yourself and explain it and do what you claim you came here to do. How about just for fun, you upload these supposed "Mass Specs" you claim to have and let us take a look at them. I'll call bullshit on those right now those too
