    Test base with BAC water question

    Why can’t you just back load a syringe with test base, draw some BAC water into that syringe, shake it some and just inject it like so? I don’t see why the need for BB, BA..etc being that is has no ester. I hope this isn’t a stupid question.

    I haven’t had experience with test base or suspension but will be getting some base soon, so lack of experience with this is why I’m asking

    Benzyl benzoate (BB) is a solvent, benzyl alcohol (BA) is a bacteriostatic preservative. You won't simply get the powder to dissolve. If you try this, plan your route to the hospital beforehand, it will be a painful ride . You have to brew it to make it dissolve and you have to filter it before injecting.

    I know what bb and ba are but figured since test base has no ester it might be able to just dissolve in the BAC water. Do you have any personal experience with brewing test base? Main reason I’m asking is someone I know who’s been in the game a long time and pretty well experienced(not saying he’s credible which is why I’m asking) told me with test base it will be completely fine with just mixing it with some BAC water and shooting it as is.
    I’m not trying to be ignorant at all even though I understand the question in itself may indicate that.

    Test base is one of the more difficult ones to brew. It will not just dissolve and if you inject something unfiltered like that you'll get an infection. The long esters see the easy ones to brew actually. Wherever you go for info on the net you'll see the same discussion, test base is difficult to dissolve and keep dissolved...

    Just because you add some bac water doesn't mean it's sterile, it just keeps bacteria from growing. You still have to filter it, I'm serious you will hurt yourself listening to your friend. You'll be in for some serious pain.

    You would need to use PS80 to get it into suspension. Otherwise, you would just be trying to push the powder through the syringe and it would invariably clog. LOL, if.you did get any into the muscle you would be in exceptional pain.
    Test suspension can be a tad painful when properly brewed, however when it is done right, it will flow like milk through a 25g. pin.

    Ok thanks for the reply man, I have some recipes booked marked. If it does crash can it be revered by warmning it up like other gear or is it completely bunk once it crashed? Also I’ve seen recipes for both oil and the BAC water do you have an opinion on which is better?

    Is there still an need for mixing B.B. and ba in it still or is the ps80 sufficient enough alone? All the recipes I’ve seen include them and the ps80 as well? I’m trying to go for the simplest brewing option

    You still would want BA and BB, but honestly it can take a bit of tinkering to get your finished project to come out nicely. Generally you have to fudge around with your heat to get it nicely into solution.
    The easiest way to work with test base is to make TNE (test no ester). I've always had good luck with 5% BA, 30% BB, and shoot for a concentration of 50mg/ml. Some guys go higher with it, but the higher the concentration the more of a PITA it can be. 50 mg/ml is nice and simple, especially if you don't have much brewing experience.

    Oil = TNE
    Water = Test suspension.

    TNE is much easier to tinker with.

    What percent do you recommend the ps80 to be?

    There are numerous recipes online and in the lab here. It sounds like your brewing experience is limited, so I would strongly encourage you to brew TNE. It is much more forgiving than suspension.

    Yea I do lack experience with brewing. Well thanks for the advice.
