How long does a punctured UGL vial remain good?

[Edustaja555]

I opened this 66 days ago. It has been stored in a dark place at room temperature. Do you believe it’s still usable?

I’d also like to ask if you have any experience with the brand Driada? I live in Europe and I don’t have access to pharmacy testosterone. Are there any brands I should avoid? The only brands I’ve come across are Hilma Biocare, Syntholan, and Driada.

Have not used that brand, but yes I would still use it, should last quite awhile.

Literally the reason for the rubber bung is to keep it good. Otherwise it'd have a screw top

Okay, thank you. I was just wondering how long this mixture remains safe to use. Thanks

Hey in most cases it should be okay but that depends on how often you draw and how thick the needle is.
Sometimes if you poke the same hole repeatedly with a large needle it'll ruin the rubber. But also some of the ugl rubbers are poor quality.
Store it upside down and for a day and if it remains dry it is good to go. If not then the seal is compromised and the gear will be exposed to bacteria.

Years it will be good stored right

Any good UG lab will use 1-2% Benzyl Alcohol as a preservative. Practically speaking it should be good to use the Test E from 3-6 months after opening, with proper storage away from direct light and at reasonable room temperatures. Just make sure you swab the rubber stopper before each use and a fresh needle each time to reduce the chance of introducing contaminants into the vial.

The main risk after opening is contamination, not degradation — and the BA is specifically there to handle that. If it looks cloudy, has particles, or the oil smells off, discard it.

I know that from your initial post and, of course, the guys have replied

Storing it upside down is brilliant. Thanks for the tip

What do you think about pinning small amounts of testosterone subQ vs intramuscular?
I’ve only tried pinning IM in the glute and shoulder so far.
I was wondering about doing subQ with an insulin needle instead.

Does anyone have experience with this?

majority of Driada is counterfeit, where did you pick up this bottle?

Makes zero difference to the desired outcome. Lots try it.

On the Black market in Finland from random dude on Telegram (That sounds bad.)

So even UGL products can be counterfeit?
I thought only the quality could be bad because it’s UGL.
This one did have a website where you could verify the code and everything.

Any tips on how to tell if this is counterfeit?

I wouldn’t inject anything from a guy from Finland lol, this is bunk and maybe give you infection.

Could you give me some tips on how to tell if it’s real? The only thing that comes to mind for me is the code, and that was completely fine

I’ve injected it 7 times, and I could definitely feel that it’s real. My hair and skin got oilier, my blood pressure went up, and my libido, motivation, and confidence improved.

And by “real” I mean I don’t know if it’s genuine UGL product or counterfeit UGL product, but it’s definitely testosterone.

You don't know what it is, I wouldn't use it, get gear from trusted EVO approved suppliers so you're not guessing with your health @Edustaja555

I understand. It just doesn’t feel reasonable to pay $100 only to find out that the product got stuck in customs for example.

Or not. Even in-country (also known as 'domestic') can be seized.

That’s why I prefer F2F deals. Of course, ordering from somewhere would be a better option, but my trust that it would get through customs is minimal. Whether it’s within Europe or a domestic shipment.

I've only ever done subq for my injections, both oils and peptides. 31G 6mm insulin syringe in the glute fat. Peak Test serum concentration levels are reached slower because most is absorbed through the lymphatic system, which has a lot less blood supply than muscles do. I do daily injections so there are no peaks and troughs and have zero aromatization issues to deal with. It works for me but YMMV.

 

[rizzlekdizzle]

yep - agree just trial IM vs Subq - I find IM works great with me - i don't like to pin everyday anyway. choose the right ester and you are sweet (or even a sustanon with varying esters)

who are you talking about specifically? @Edustaja555
