How much gear do you keep on hand?

tell their PCP that they’d rather have them manage their health holistically by having them in change of their TRT and labs. Tell the PCP that you did the bloodwork and are dedicated to being on TRT for life. Most doctors have the ego to think they’d do it better than a clinic, even though neither usually know shit.
As soon as I find a new PCP who actually has time to see me, I will try that psy-op on them.

It’ll probably go tits up the next time they run a hormone panel and my total test is 5000, though.
 
i only keep my current cycle +1 vial per compound in case i drop one / hit a vein and need to redraw aswell as as a couple months worth of test e to cruise after each cycle and ancillaries like caber / proviron / arimidex in case i ever need them
 
I've probably got 3 years of heavy use AAS on hand. Ancillaries for a year or so. Would b decades of TRT/cruising

HGH I only buy 10 kits at a time so 6 months-ish is what I have at most - but thats because I feel HGH even stored in freezer is better fresh.
 
Dont ask me how much baby oil i have

Surprised to see the boating accident joke go over so many heads, expected a higher percentage of firearms enthusiasts here for some reason.

I have lots of oils, and one of my concerns is that since a modest portion of my oils come from Stan, I might have issues due to how generously he fills his vials. Even when stored perfectly upright, the oil makes contact with the stoppers, and I know that over time this will be an issue, especially when we're talking many years of storage. 85% or more of what I have is in MCT, so oxidation risk should be minimized due to it being a fully saturated oil. I'm thinking of getting a bunch of high quality 100cc vials and filling them almost to the stopper, and using that method to store Stan's stuff, but part of me thinks that might be risky too. I can't articulate why, beyond the "all your eggs in one basket" type of fear being at play. A few vials going bad vs a 100cc vial going bad. Still, the oil contacting the stoppers needs to be addressed or I'll likely lose a good amount of gear. I've switched to using everything I can that's from him, so I'll be going through it, but not fast enough.

How long, approximately, should I expect these particular vials to stay good before the stoppers start to swell?
 
Did they make it right? And there are actually two separate vendors who have it new in at the same time which makes me think it’s a new batch maybe.

The one Im talking about does not gurantee shipping.
Starts with A.

They gave me credit, they did also email me recently about Test C raws coming in stock, but they have no other long ester raws so the credit is useless..

well, i think i have bad news for you. its only gonna get worse from here not better, grab whatever u can if you're not already stocked up on enough test raws.
 
There’s a practical upper limit on stockpiling due to product aging. Ten years seems like a reasonable ceiling to me.

Also, prices are higher and quality lower than they’ve been in a long while. So it’s the worst time to stock up, but also maybe also your last chance :-). Exciting times!

If you’re planning to just run TRT, is stocking up purely a cost savings exercise vs eg a TRT clinic, which we assume will always have supply? Or are you also hedging against the risk of regulatory change?

The real question is whether there will be a liquid resale market so that the optimists and pessimists can limit their losses if they bet wrong.
Ten years, shoot now I gotta go buy more sheesh.

I have a conundrum. A big part of my long term stash is test E raws. Which I have come to understand may be good, or may cast the user into a living PIP hell, depending on unknown factors. So do I replace them with cyp? Or just hope the crisis passes before I ever get to brewing them.

Have you tried brewing it/pinning it?

It was the test D wasn’t it. I went back and looked. So are you not interested in test c then only longer esters?

Test U is still avail at alot of Chinese vendors..The extra long half life can help extend the life of your stash.

Yes you can pin Test D 500+mg/ml with no pip..Can't say the same about C..and hell no for E..

Get some C while you can. Better to regret an unnecessary purchase, a small loss you'll quickly forget, than regret not getting it and unable to source it when you need it, which you'll kick yourself over and over for.

Or just convince @Stanfordpharma1 to offer "prepper" vials with ptfe lined or FluroTec lined stoppers from West Pharmaceuticals, effectively immune to degradation for more than a decade. Easy to buy a bag on eBay. I'm sure folks would be happy to pay a $5 premium / vial for that niche product. He could run a test with just something basic like Test-C. Maybe on a preorder basis to gauge demand. I bet it would be strong.

Now that you've said it, it's got me thinking "prepper vials" was a missed opportunity by sources to capitalize on the shortages we knew were coming. Offering products in vials, perhaps larger than 10ml, with enhanced longevity features designed to extend shelf life to its maximum could have been a very cool product line. Even at a decent markup, it would make sense for people if they're intending to keep them for extended periods of time as it's likely to save money in the long run by preventing spoilage. I have over 100 vials from Stan, and would have gladly paid an additional $500 on them to have some premium stoppers that would prevent degradation. That combined with MCT and nearly zero air/dead space would make for a very long lasting vial.

How long do you think I have with these as they are, with the oil touching what I assume are standard butyl rubber stoppers? I have a good crimper tool, but now looks like I'll need to get a decrimper as well.

You could always buy those 100mL semi-finished oils from MonsterLab or PPL. They probably won’t end up in any worse shape that they start out :-)
