Fina Infection

[Warrior]

Has anyone ever made a dirty batch from FinaPlix pellets before? Or heard of any infections... even if possibly due to an allergic reaction?

The reason I ask is sooo many people are playing mad scientist with the kits but no one ever says, "Ooops - I think I f'ed up... " - only hear good things.

I usually heat the pellets in water to help them dissolve - then let them sit over night. Then I heat again the next day to seperate the crap and mix with oil... and to push it through the Whatman. Then on the third day - Warrior made Trenbolone! J/K Then the third day I give it one more soak in the water to give it a final pasteurizing. I figure this method will hatch and kill any spores without having to bake it. If the Kit is 4 grams or over I'll use a coffee filter to keep the whatman from clogging...

I've only used the kits. havent had problem, just sterelize when done. why do you use water? just crush and dissolve in BA.

Not sure what you are saying??? And yeah - I use Chem's kits.

Why do I use water? To boil it in a pot and then let the vial sit in it for 15-20 minutes as part of the pasteurizing process... I never bake it in the oven. I prefer the water method... the Tren always comes out nice and golden.

Just sterilize when done? It would take too long to push through the Whatman for one. The process of heating and reheating [the vial] in the water hatches and kills bacteria spores.

I allways bake it afterwards. I've never heard of anyone getting an infection from it. I trust the stuff that I make more than the stuff I buy.

I misunderstood water. now I get it. I boil it after filtering to sterlize w/ pin in top to vent. I posted here a while ago about sterlizing and it was reccomended to bake I'll try to find it.

I think if you use enough BA, it's almost impossable to get a infection.

i treid my best to find a fina horror story before using it for the first time and couldnt dig one up, so as of now i'm convinced that nobody on any board AS OF YET has gotton an infection due solely to fina

Taken from Tren-Freak at the T-mag.com, what a sport for doing it - guniea pigged himself for all our sanity :

It's not that I don't advise others to no heat their tren, it's just I don't do it to my batches. I've made enough now to know that it's not needed. Also Trenbolone isn't very stable when it comes to heat and I see no need in degrading or destroying a perfectly good batch. That's just my opinion. The BA and the oil that comes in the kits are already sterile, so there is no need to further sterilize. Let me give you an example of how I know most are overeacting on the issue of sterility of homebrew Tren. Earlier this year I made some Tren from wesson oil and Everclear dosed at 120mgs or so per ML. Took them both straight out of their bottles and only heated up the oil for about 10 minutes. Dissolved the pellets in the everclear, mixed with oil and filtered. And guess what?? Not a single bad injection. How so?? Because even Wesson oil from the grocery store is sterile enough to use. Now the USP oil that comes in the kits is of even higher quality. The only thing that will cause a bad batch is ones neglegence to sterility. So once again, there is NO need to heat Tren if you are careful when you make it.

Once I blow the filter right when I started to filter, so I skipped the filtering and used whole 50ml without any problems.
Actually, may be it's my immagination, but I got slightly better results from that batch, then from filtered ones before.
I never bake anything, I'm not baker.
