Fina Experts

Hopefully you guys can help.

I've been cooking up several batches, and I decided to bake the last one.

After about 20 mins at 200 degrees I noticed it was darkening, so I took it out. About 50cc's 100mg/ml in a 100ml vial w/ rubber stopper. I figured I might need to ventilate it, so I stuck a pin through the stopper and out shot tons of gas and the fina started boiling?!!? The house reeked of fina, which was pretty cool, but I am curious as to whether or not I lost any hormones in the process? I read baking it would maximize the hormones, but why is that?

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Baking your solution aides with keeping it IN solution by disolving all the powder/pellets so it won't crystallize. Anytime you bake a solution you need to vent the vial to relieve heat and pressure.

Just saw your reply, and that is the impression I was under. I guess I'm just a little paranoid... thanks for your reply bro. I didn't vent the vial because I was concerned the plastic on the pin would melt... any suggestions on a better way?

It will melt but you can still use it to vent. Personally I bake mine without the stopper.

i heard bakin the fina wasnt necessary, and ive never done it personally when preparing mine, but my question is, does it make it any better, noticible differences between bakin and not baking it.. sorry if i highjacked this thread but it brought about some curiosity.

.. I never bake...a .2µ filter and a decent (1.5% - 3%) BA content are all that are needed for sterility....Go to the lab forum and read the BA thread in the FAQ...
...Putting a vented vial into almost boiling water to get everything into solution is fine...Baking isn't necessary and could be detrimental ot the hormone itself.....

Hey bro, I should've used the SEARCH button!!! After some reading I've concluded that not only is baking it unnecessary, but if anything harmful!!! I just made some more orders and I assure you I will NOT be baking again. I would avoid it at all costs - hope this helps.

In my experience heating it to 212F made it turned it red, and made it weaker, but it seemed to have a more even release. When I didn't heat it, it came out clear, and seemed more potent over all (especially in terms of androgenic sides), but it seemed to all hit me in the first three hours.
