So the test E on the left was from Q4 last year, came in clear, still looking clear. The Primo E is 1,5 years oldm has a slight discoloration. The Deca on the right is also from Q4 last year. Since it arrived it changed color a bit. No weird smell or any other indicators. I'm a bit reluctant to toss it in the middle of the raws crisis.

Comparison.webp

Makes sense.

In a time of shortage, turn your body into a garbage can.

Ghehe, that's legit funny. However I'm a bit concerned about other people that bought off QSC that might be facing the same issue. Or might it be a non issue after all? Is there any other potential reason for discoloration? I don't think it's bacteria tbh I've injected plenty of this yellow stuff and no adverse reaction at all, not even PIP. Labs came back as expected as well for the dose that I'm taking.
 
Mine is still clear. I thought clear test c was weird lol
Same here, previous batches from QSC all came in this yellow tint. I thought it was due to different oils used. But QSC claimed (before they took off) that everything they ever made was MCT, even though I do remember them saying it was sesame before a few years back. Totally confused right now.

It'd oxidized. For whatever reason. That shouldn't happen. If you're the kind of person who'd drink orange juice that went "just a little brown" go ahead and pin it.

Otherwise, still a couple of vendors here selling cheap test.

My test E is fine/clear, I need deca right now for my off season. I've ordered raws for the rest of the year but Deca seems to be out of stock in most places. Guess I'll have another look.. Otherwise, I guess I'll be that guy that drinks brown orange juice :P.
 
By the way, one thing to add. I just checked back pictures on my phone and the Deca was delivered having the same tint of yellow that it is right now. So it didn't turn yellow, it already was. Might it be that QSC used another oil? Or maybe a solvent? Or do you think they just sent me rancid gear? Wondering if other people have had similar experiences. I know I'm being a cry baby here but I just want to understand what is going on with my Deca :'). I mean, if they sent me old gear which they knew was bunk, they might have plotted done an exit scam after all. At least they already knew for quite some time that raws were not available to them anymore to produce new batches. If the oil is rancid, it must but 2 years old or something..

All my Test e from QSC came in slightly yellow. I bought in Q1, Q2, Q4.

To date, none of them have turned 'more yellow' than what I received initially.

You may be overthinking here. I'm positive your gear is good 2 go.

The numbers don't lie. If there was ever bunk gear being sent, it would cause a major crack in their business ops - one they could not fix at all. Word of mouth is like wildfire in this trade. Once it starts, it spreads fast and you're done.

If it arrived yellow I wouldn't be concerned. Turning from clear to yellow is an entirely different thing.

Degraded carrier oil would have no impact on tests for potency.

Darker color helps hide the floaters, so that's one positive.
 
weigh your options. either risk getting infection or pay money to get the vials. you will pay either way. pick your poison.

not a financial advice.
I could always use a .22 micron syringe filter to be sure. I still have a bunch lying around. if It were bacteria they would be caught in the filter. I'm going to try my luck. I'll make sure to have arranged my funeral in case it goes south. If I'm still alive after injecting, I'll let you know. Fingers crossed.

It's not bacteria I'd be primarily concerned with, but filtering is always a good idea and cheap insurance especially when something seems "off".
 
My test E from Q has a slight yellow tint.
I’ve had no issues so far.

This is what I got from chat GPT:

Testosterone in MCT (Medium-Chain Triglyceride) oil is typically clear or very lightly tinted. MCT oil is a refined and highly purified oil, usually derived from coconut or palm oil, and it tends to be colorless or slightly translucent.

If you notice a yellow tint in a testosterone preparation that uses MCT oil, it could be due to:

• A slight variation in the refinement process of the MCT oil.

• The specific brand or manufacturing differences.

• Exposure to light or oxidation over time.

Generally, testosterone in MCT oil should remain clear, but a very slight yellow tint is not necessarily a sign of a problem. If the color change is significant or the oil appears cloudy, it’s best to check with a pharmacist or healthcare provider.

I think you should be fine but if you don’t feel right about it don’t use it.

In 6 months chat gpt will replace my doctor for fucks sake.
