Test Vials or Amps????

[UnderTheRose]

With the obivious problem of so much fake gear around. It stands to reason that amps would be harder to produce then vials. I mean basically I can get some sterile vials and fill, seal and label much easier then I could amps...right? Sooo, would I be increasing my odds of obtaining "real" gear if I went with vials?

I'm not saying amps can't be faked, just figuring that the process would be much more in depth and costly...comments???

Thanks in advance!!

yes amps are harder to fake and more costly. The average Joe isn't faking them. But they also sell for more and are more desirable because its human grade. So there are fakes out there

^^ Agreed, its much more expensive to produce amps and less chance of fake, although it does happen...

Thanks guys!

Any obivious signs of flaws that I can look for? I assume the vial itself will be the telltale, since the packaging would be easy to duplicate.

^^ Thats where it can become a little difficult..

Ive had some great pharma amps with the exact same test inside made by the same people but all were different sizes, i know some Iranian test in amps was copied and the exp date would rub off however it was tested and still came back good....

Sigh...lol

You just never know, huh?

Seems a bit shitty that its all about finding a legit source. Doesn't matter how much research you do, it comes down to the source. Most if not all newbies don't have a "source" so I'm sure most just blindly order or purchase. Trial and error...you vets have the answers to most questions. But the most important one of all... I guess it like everything else, pay your dues, live and learn.

Thanks Guys...I really appreciate the feedback!

doing source checks will willing staff will also help

I was under the impression that's not tolerated. Lots of vets have the "No source checks" policy... For good reason I'm sure! Did I miss something?

[gixxerboy1]

some are willing some arent.
you just have to do it by pm. Not on the open board

Gotcha...Thanks!
