Got a batch of Karachis in the other day, and these really bothered me when I got them in. At first, it seemed like they were not filled enough, but upon further comparison to some real ones that I have, I realized that the amps are shaped differently.
See the attached pic. The two on the right are the amps in question, while the two on the left are believed to be good amps (as verified on previous posts).
The primary differences are as follows:
1. The bottom portion of the amp (containing oil when upright) is too tall when compared with real amps.
2. The breakline of the questionable amps have a thick, white ring. Real ones.. not quite so thick, although it varies from real amp to real amp somewhat.
3. The top portion of the questionable amps don't have the characteristic karachi shape. Look at the picture. The questionable amps have pointy-er tops than known real amps.
4. I know you can't see this from my picture, as I am not a great camera operator, but the font for Expy and B No. looks OK and has the usual curvature to it. The only thing that bothered me was that all of the questionable amps have a period after Exp. (questionable amps say: EXP. 6/2010). All real amps I have seen do NOT have the period in EXP date. Real amps DO have a period after batch number (questionable amps say: BN. 520265XV). Has anyone seen real Karachis with a period after EXP?
So I got these from a reputable supplier (all online references to his business are VERY good). He even takes CC. But my experiences with him are mixed. Got fake Anabols, and these Karachis. He did replace the fake Anabols with real Jelfa Enanthate, but only 100mg/ml. Better than nothing, but I want to know what folks think about these Karachis cause I think they need to go back as well...
