Hi guys. I am pretty new to this site, and have a question for all of you. I left a bottle of Test E in my car, and due to the damn cold Canadian winter it froze solid on me within 24 hours. Do you think it will still be good once I thaw it? Thanks all for your help

There should not be a problem with the effectiveness of it. However make sure that all is still dissolved.

Any suggestions on how to heat? I'm thinking of placing it in a pot of water and boiling it with a syringe sticking out the top to let the excess pressure escape. Do you think this would be wise?

Thanks again for all your help guys.

i left my enth in the car in -30, never froze, the waterbased stuff did but never the oil based anything. just leave it at room temp and it should melt out just fine.

Many options for how to get it back but I assure you the microwave won't hurt it.... If your still nervous about micro then just put in boiling water to bring it back...

Sounds good but , I wouldnt bring the water to a boil . Just simmer.

put it on a cookie sheet with a vent needle
about 250 deg for 10 minutes
then cool it off
after cooling for 10 min or so, remove pin so you dont leave a permanent hole in stopper

do not put vial with vent in boiling water, as you may get water in vial.

Was worried about that the first time I did it yes but took someones advice who said it won't be a problem and it wasn't.... For some reason those aluminum seals don't cause any prob in the microwave... I have done it more then a dozen times since then and never had a problem with the seal or the gear being good afterwards....

Thanks for all the responses guys. I ended up heating it in a pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes.....I left an empty syringe in the stopper with the plunger depressed all the way down, it gassed out about 2.5 cc's of pressure and oil, and I hope I have avoided any air getting into it. It is all good to go (no crystallization) and i am ready to start my cycle. Thanks again guys for all your input.
