    Heating up gear too much, kill it's potency!?

    Was wondering exactly as the title says?

    I thought I was feeling the two compounds I am on for the first week or 2, then I was getting way too much PIP.

    I started heating up the vials with a lighter, getting them pretty warm, and lately I feel like nothing is happening!?

    Could it be possible that heating up the gear too much causes it to break up the oil and ruin the compound?

    Using Tren A/ Prop - and no gains, sides, nothing now..

    Heating the oil can damage the AAS, however I doubt you're warming it to the point of damaging anything with a lighter.

    Now if you boil your vial you can expect to trash it.

    It's common for people to warm gear with body heat or warm water before injecting to thin the oil. Never tried warming it up, but i've heard it minimizes the PIP.

    That doesn't sound too smart dude. Just stick it under yur armpit for a a few minutes. It makes sense that there is less pip if it yur body's natural temp.. Or run it under warm water..if its heated with a lighter would probably be really painful

    I have found that once I heat it up with the lighter, I get less pip. Obviously I don't heat the thing up and inject it while its super hot lol

    It thins the oil so it goes much smoother.. I wouldn't use a lighter though. I just hold it under my arm for a couple minutes an there's almost no pop after. Does it make yu feel like a crackhead when yu use the lighter. Lol

    So is warming it up prior to pinning mandatory or just personal preference?

    Just thins the oil so its easier and smoother to inject also makes it a little faster.

    Boiling water (100C) is perfectly safe for all AAS. But I don't recommend this before each injection. A microwaved cup of water to soak in does just fine.

    A butane flame, on the other hand, can reach 1970 C (though obviously a BIC lighter won't reach anywhere near this temp in the real world for a variety of reasons).

    OP: using a lighter to warm oil is retarded.

    Listen to Bonaparte, he knows. I follow his advice, warm a cup of water and let my gear sit in it for about 3 minutes before I pin. Works great.
