For the love of god.... THE MICROWAVE WON'T HARM YOUR GEAR!

[Crankin'steiN]

I have seen way too many people saying this lately and just wanted to make a post to let you all know that the microwave will not harm your gear in any way shape or form... I am 110% sure of this and have done it over a dozen times... maybe 2 dozen.... Yes the vial can go in the microwave.... Or a syringe as long as the pin isn't on it.... No there is no radio activity or any other shit that will hurt the gear or make it less potent.... and YES this is the fastest and easiest way to heat up your gear when it has crashed or you want to thin the viscosity a bit....

Only one thing you want to be careful of which is how powerful your microwave is... 5 - 10 seconds is usually enough to heat up a 10ml bottle...

OK.... BRING THE ARGUEMENTS..... lol

[icey_boi]

what about the metal on the bottle? thought metal and microwaves dont mix bro?

not sayn your wrong. just curious

[waderow]

but it is stupid to nuke your gear prior to pinning. how can you control the temp. wanna squirt some gear on your wrist to see if its a good temp?

run it under hot water

[gsxr750]

Done it too, doesn't even spark.. don't know why. 10ML bottle for 6 seconds and it's smooth through a 25guage..

I now just fill a cup with a few centemetres in depth of hot water and sit half the vial in it.. I was concerned that nuking the rubber stopper over and over could weaken it? Wouldn't that increase the chances of some rubber breaking off into your syringe or your vial? :S

[shithead]

The aluminum tops wont react with the microwave.

[Crankin'steiN]

I don't nuke mine prior to injecting cuz ya it would be hard to get the right temp....

And nuking the same bottle over and over may not be good for the rubber stopper your right gsxr... A few times won't hurt it but I wouldn't want to push my luck and do it every time I inject...

I am mainly talking about nuking your gear when it has crashed as that is the only purpose I use it for... But I wanted to reassure ppl that the mic won't hurt your gear like MANY ppl think it will

[Monka]

i've nuked a bottle that crashed before, and worked great, someone posted not to nuk?? why? i know bit hard to control temp but be smart and nuk and short bursts and your fine

[Big D]

I actualy never thought of nuking any of my gear, i used to have EQ that crashed on me all time, I would sit it in a cup of hot water.
it worked great, just took abit of time.

[Monka]

errrrr, eq crashing??? man, i hope not.... eq is a liquid bro, to crash i dunno, its have to been very ****ing cold, i think, eq is pure liquid and in raw form one of the substaines thats pure liquid. i've yet to see liquid eq in 20years now..raw that is.. possible deca?? even that's pasty..

no way, you gotta be kidding me hahaha, i guess i got ripped off.
I had eq in my basement and i would use it twice a week and everytime I would pull it out it would be all full of crystals at the bottom. so i asked my rep and he said it was normal for eq to crash just heat it up and good to go. now this is around 4 years ago back when i first started AAS. and i thought I had a reputable source but i guess not hahah. lucky i dont tlak to him anymore

[nisser]

yeah eq is liquid.

As far as microwaving...I just don't feel safe microwaving a HORMONE. Who's to say you aren't degrading some of it? You won't really know unless you test it.

[waderow]

Yeah, EQ looks like dark maple syrup

[lambchops]

im not a chemist nor do i contain any knowledge in said field, so im curious as to how extreme cold can be bad for gear (or so ive been told) but microwaves (the actual electro magnetic waves) are not. does the heat not break down the molecules but cold will?

my googling came up empty on the subject, or just lots of links to forum posts full of "opinions" instead of facts.

[nisser]

it shouldn't be. I think if you freeze and thaw more than once then that will start breaking down the hormone. The problem comes in not knowing how many times this has happened (frozen in 1 city, thawed in another warehouse, frozen again on the road, thawed again, refrozen in your mailbox...etc).

[wrought]

Low to moderate heat shouldn't harm the gear, but I've got reservations about nuking the plastic/rubber stopper and sure as hell don't want to nuke a plastic/rubber syringe that's loaded with gear and then inject that. After seeing some of the info about the compounds that leach out of hydrocarbon based tupperware I won't even use that shit to carry my lunch in, better safe (and slightly paranoid ;) )than sorry.

Yessir, microwaves and plastic dont mix. Not sure about the butyl stoppers. I have fixed gear that has crashed in the mic before, but that was cyp eons ago. Many people do this all the time.

Now if gear crashes, I toss it. To inject a viscous solution through a higher gauge needle, IMO always use hot tap water and run the syringe underneath.

[icey_boi]

^^ thats exactly what i do.

I would think it would be similar to why freezing food is bad. If it's done slowly you get big ice crystals that cause damage. Although I bet if you flash froze AAS it would be fine for a very long time. I think you would need to get it down below -40 deg. Celsius quickly, after that it would be fine in a regular freezer. Although this just makes sense to me in theory.

Perhaps the most guaranteed way if you're at all worried.

fack you guys....pull your gear out of the bottle in the syringe ..obviously dont put the needle head in the microwave. Put the facking plastic plunger part down in a Coffee mug!! nuke till you find the right temperature for your microwave.... you heat for say 20 seconds...it comes out still somewhat cold...guess what? you need to nuke it for another 5 to 10 seconds...hard to figute out I know.... Here is a little secret heat it for another 15 seconds so it's hotter so by the time you get your room or where ever you going to inject BECAUSE you need time to swab and get ready it will be appropriate temperature before you inject....Put the styringe to your lips and you will know if it's warm enough!!!

Thanks Crank for addressing this...

That seems like a lot of extra work when ya can just run it under the ****ing water. Jesus!

Talk about a run on sentence ontario, holy schnikes.

[LORDBLiTZ]

Do you guys even know how a MW works? It won't **** your gear and it won't **** your food.

But it's not good for either of them. If most people REALLY knew how the real inner workings of one worked, most people wouldn't use one.

[Mr Ontario]

I did that purposely to piss you off :)

I can tell you that this is bold/test combined.
Chemists have had a difficult time adjusting both compounds successfully.
I have only known of a couple of guys who won't let their bold/test combo crush....but even after that, the compound is perfect once you give it a quick heating---in the microwave :D

unless you forget to vent and it blows up lol. Just kidding ;)

(no, its never happened to me............?)

Ok bro, what the heck are you talking about?? bold liquid, and test combo, WILL crash?? why? obviously, who ever made didnt' add enough solvents, BA, if it's a combo, and if its enth, ****, AND crashing, then i'd worry as if enth crashed, how much BA is in it?? 1% is way more then enough. and if summer you can prob get away with cyp but i'd say 2%. I have NO clue whats adjusting what, chems all the time make sust/T-400, all sorts of blends,and they are combos, and dont crash,hell eq in anything will make life easier bro.. somethings not right with eq crashing to me sound like test prop. as enth is hard to crash or possible cyp with low ba. But if eq,s supposedly init, as he said way in hell should crash.
