QV EQ ...real or fake??

[pumpseeker]

I noticed tonight the labels are square not rounded as I thought they were supposed to be. Also, the holograms do not reflect shiny colors in the light...just a dull silver. One of my bottles has the QV writing in blue on the hologram. The Lote No m(QVB-003) and expiration (Sept. 2004) match up fine to the ones on QV's site....but I am skeptical. I have bottles of legit QV deca and winny from the same source so this is wierd if they are fake...

tell me what you think...

[pumpseeker]

sorry I couldn't get a closer view...my camera gets blurred when I get any closer....

also, note the BOLD QV lettering is brown, not red...???

real or fake?

If you look at this post :http://anabolicreview.com/vbulletin/...threadid=49822
you will see that the fakes have square lables and squar holograms like yours.
I think it's fake..... Sorry bro.

i have been searching for the distinctive ways to tell if the qv gear (in question) is legit.....and the only thing i came up w/ is if the hologram is NOT reflective then its fake..and thats that! it sucks because the fakes are very hard to tell from the legits! as far as i know those are fakes, until someone comes and says,"i have used a qv bottle w/out the reflective hologram and i stll got gains!" until then they're bunk!
p.s. for more insurance, the qv site (qualityvet.com.mx) has alink that shows the hologram they use and it says,"n in an attempt to prevent counterfeits, each of our products have in their label and boxes a security hologram" and it show a pic of a hologram that is reflective!

pull your holo back and if legit you will either get dots or v slits left behind.

older batches have dots and newer have v slits.

my batch was 005 and i had v slits. if yours are good than you should have dots.

the dull holos are not good though.

sorry bro

i would shoot QV an email and explain to them.

i have sent them about 3 emails about there eq and other items and they have responded to each one

[chevy44]

is the email address you used:

[email protected]

???

Is that really safe to email them asking if my eq is fake?

[H BOMB]

i used the email addy from there site. i have no idea what that addy is unless it was changed in the last 3 weeks.

they have gotten back to me in less than a week and one time the next day.

pump man i'm sorry but i think it is fake if you didn't get dots. you can email and ask but when i got mine and didn't get dots i emailed them and they told me about the v slits and when i looked i had the v slits. they said older batches have dots and newer have v slits. but it couldn't hurt to ask them about your theory. man that sucks for awhile QV has been pretty safe.

i think it is ok to email them as long as you say the right things.

i mean when i asked about the eq i never said anything that would incriminate them or me for that matter. i mean i'm a vet and was curious about giving the animals fakes so i asked. lol

good luck bro.

[H BOMB]

i was even concerned that my eq was clear since most people say it is tinted color.

so i emailed them asking about it and there reply was it is perfectly ok and to look on the website for pics of there holo's and boxes to make sure. they were pretty cool about it. i didn't think i would get a response.

[pumpseeker]

thanks for the info bro

[H BOMB]

no problem good luck brotha

I agree, it looks fake to me too.

I don't see the caps, what color were they? They should be blue. Did it come with the caps off?

[dizzle]

Here is my QV Lineup, EQ cap is blue.

Lot number QVB 007/10-2005

The caps were blue...I took them off

[pumpseeker]

What really looks suspicious to me is the holograms...The holograms on the boxes and one of the bottles are just a shiny silver (no color reflections) with white writing that has the "QV" logo. On the other bottle, the hologram is a dull silver with blue writing for the "QV" logo. It looks totally different than other QV holograms I have seen. And none of them reflect colors in the light...just a shiny silver.

I have bottles of QV winny and deca , which I know is real, and all the holograms reflect colors (like all the pics I have ever seen with the QV hologram).

100% fake bro...sorry to hear it...check out this thread...

[H BOMB]

figures first thing i see is rado's head on the eq bottle. thanks big rush lol

[Lift Chief]

Sorry bro... i agree with everyone else. No dots or slits when hologram is peeled and square corners instead of rounded means it's fake... sorry again.

[pumpseeker]

I see the overall opinion is fake.. that does suck, considering I was 4 weeks into my cycle with it. I have an email into QV, awaiting a response to confirm 100% this is fake, but I already am 99% sure.

oh well, I've filled the void with deca ...I'm not gonna let this B.S. ruin my cycle. Thanks again for your help bros!
