Need Help, Cottonseed/Grapeseed Oil

[Powerbuilder333]

Cook out the excess Benzyl Alcohol, or mix with other gear. Too get rid of excess benzyl, put the vial in a pan of boiling water. Put a needle in the stopper to vent the gasses. You need only cover about 3 quarters of the bottle height with water. Heat the gear so that the b.a. vaporizes and comes out.

Someone will chime in with more specifics. Any of the oils in their sterile form would work for a mix with your gear though.

I've never heated gear. From what I've read you can use an oven for greater heat control. Ventilating it (needle without syringe through the stopper) is crucial to avoid an explosion.
Personally I wouldn't heat it for any reason, because heat degrades the active ingredients. If you've ever read the label of HG gear it says store at room temperature...

Commercial human grade gear is manufactured with heat. They heat it to dissolve the ester in the oil, and they heat to sterilize.

That's true, but why the warnings on the label? My guess is that prolonged exposure to heat above room temperature will degrade the potency of the medication.

 

[Mr. dB]

Heating the oil just enough to reduce viscosity is not what I'd call "prolonged exposure".

Exactly, you just don't want to be storing it for prolonged periods in a hot environment. Using a little heat before injection is not going to degrade anything.

Just to make my point clear, my position is that, quite often, post-injection pain is caused by injury, not a reaction to the chemicals. Reducing the viscosity of the oil will reduce that type of injury.

On the other hand, some esters are inherently painful, such as prop.

The only way to know for sure which one is bothering you is to try it both ways. Dilute one dose with oil and shoot it, see if it makes a difference; heat another dose and shoot it, see which method works for you.

I once tested my BA sensitivity, I drew 0.25ml BA and mixed it with 0.75ml bac water, and shot it in my glute. Nothing happened.

Thank you! Glad I am not the only one!!! Or if he got a shitty batch he might as well dilute it so it doesn't go to waste...
