How much gear do you keep on hand?

1-2 years worth of TRT and the rest are extras for blasting if I choose to.

Its enough to hold me down in case of supply issues but not too much that its sitting forever. I'd like to re-up again when the raw situation is sorted or somewhat better than current times.

You should do what works for your budget but if it’s a need in terms of health then stock up brother!
brother , smart move , I’m the same 1-2yr trt stock minimum

I believe him. It doesn't even look that impressive. 200-300 vials fit into a small-to-medium sized closet organizer / storage container with plenty of room to spare for other goodies.

I have heard tell of a guy with well over that many 10mL vials (or vial equivalents, e.g. a few 100mL bottles of semi-finished oil), counting test, mast, primo, eq, nandrolone, tren, and a few oddball things. Plus a fair stash of raws... and don't even him get started on peptides, orals, and ancillaries. Nothing like that much HGH, though. That guy would definitely trade some oils for HGH if he had it to do over.

It's complete overkill. It's not really justifiable, and may be well into pathological hoarder behavior. Part of it reflects the journey ... that guy ... took in learning and realizing what worked for him, so a lot of that stock might never be used. Or maybe he'll just run a gram or two per week for the rest of his life...
 
Hey guys,

How much gear do you typically keep on hand? At 57 I'm pretty much over my blasting days but keep some test on hand to cover my trt needs but usually only have a couple of vials at any given time. With all the usual rumors floating around I'm thinking of stocking up with about 2 years worth. Nothing exotic, just probably test c/e and maybe some mast when available. Thoughts?
More than enough - probably way more than I actually need, including a good stash of peptides and HGH. But at this point, it’s not really about need, it’s more like a mild condition. You tell yourself you’re set… and then there’s a gear sale here, a peptide deal there and before you know it, you’re adding to the stockpile without even asking whether you really need it.

It’s turned into a bit of a hobby, honestly. Like collecting rare coins - except instead of silver, it’s shiny vials lined up neatly on a shelf. And every evening, I catch myself just looking at them with a stupid grin on my face.
 
I've got 200g+ combined anabolics in stock and 1500iu's of growth. But still I keep eyeballing the price list of vendors everyday. Wondering if there is something else that I need. Latest purchases have been yk11 and IGF1 LR3 and sust400. Now looking at more Reta, clen, lantus, t4 maybe some more oils.. even though I have plenty. It's a full blown buying obsession. It's just so rewarding to buy things, especially with the feeling of urgency because of the shortages makes it so satisfying to know that you have more than enough.
 
Now that you've said it, it's got me thinking "pepper 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.

No trying to start any shit, but Benzyl Benzoate containing compounds should never contact raw rubber.

Manufacturer's following USP <381> for an oil-based, benzyl-benzoate–containing injectable use fluoropolymer-coated stoppers.

We need a “gear prepper / hoarder support group” subforum.

My name is VLS and it has been (checks spreadsheet) seven days since I placed an order.
 
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.
i can tell you, ive spent so much time looking into it and so have others, the china censor hand is deeply over this topic.

what i've been able to find

few chinese labs that got busted, some articles were made about it but they shut it down so quickly.

its very communist censored...

the timeline of shit getting shut down aligns with chinas policy on anti-saction laws but it's just a theory of mine and not confirmed correlacted yet.

which means theres hope it will all go under and it can start fresh again. just like before

What if I took a very thin gauge needle, say 30 or 31, and carefully removed just enough oil from each vial to prevent oil to stopper contact? I know they say once you pierce a vial, some sort of countdown starts, but I'd imagine the stopper would be nearly fully intact after just one piercing of such a thin needle?

It's not coming back.

It was a unique set of circumstances that allowed this situation to exist for a few years, that won't be repeated.

Eventually something else will take its place in some form, but cheap, plentiful, and easy is over.

The AAS "golden age" is behind us.

thats also my conclusion, stuff will only get worse from here not better.

the tiny bit of hope it comes back is worse than the chance of qsc coming back

I wasn't certain until Test-C started showing signs of drying up. That's the most common, easy to produce steroid. It's still made as a legit active ingredient by numerous companies. It should be very easy for vendors to source. Any interruption, even if temporary, is a sign things are even worse than they appeared.

Increasingly previous raws sellers are brewing from whatever they have left, to squeeze out all the money they can from dwindling supply.

That and the endless empty "fresh raws coming in a few weeks" claims being made by some sellers for months, along with the steady drumbeat of Jano's findings of garbage being sold as raws.

The idea the factories are just on standby, waiting for Chinese officials to give illegal drug producers the "all clear to start back up" is the same wishful thinking QSC's going to return. Like Tracy, after being out of business for 8 months, they've moved on to something else.

The current market is just using up leftovers being dug out of storage.
