powders..how to tell the difference?

[lilleole]

how can i tell the difference of the powders?

how do i know that nandrolone decaonate powder...really is deca powder..and not testosterone?

 

[Mr.X]

by sending it to a lab for a test

 

[lilleole]

there is no visual difference? so, lets say im buying 1000kg of deca durabolin powder...then i wont know if its real or not? heh

raw deca is the nastiest smelling one of all. it will be gooey at room temp. put in the freezer and it will harden and able to break apart. nandrophenylpropionate has the same smell but not as strong. also does not have the low melting point as deca. npp will have crystals in the powder unlike the plain deca.

but lets say...lets just say...im meeting a guy who is selling this stuff....how does a newb tell the difference? consistency? colour? smell..?

problem is these conditions vary due to temperature, moisture content and other factors. Some companies can "cut" primo with test and you wouldn't know the difference, that's why lab testing is by far the best way to go.

bro. right off the bat. if you smell it you cant mistake it. if youre meeting somebody thats selling it and it doesnt have a smell. SHOOT HIM.

 

[lilleole]

thanks for the info.

i for sure will bring a gun....if lets say, im meetings this guy.

 

[bigtravis]

i was kidding bro. best to order online and never meet anyone face to face. it has a very chemical smell. i cant even give an example as to what it compares to.

Most of the people asking would not know the "smell" as they don't deal with it day in and day out. Plus, the rest get powders from aboard.

I've smelled a lot of powders, and from personal experience it is hard to tell the difference if you have quality products. Some do have strong smells, but so do other products - a newbie will have a hard time telling the difference.

 

[bigtravis]

the absolute best way to know if you get the best quality raw material is to dig deep to find a reliable source. then ask someone of good knowledge wether the source is good or not.

The best insurance against getting ripped off is buying only from a source who has a solid rep and first checking him out with trusted bros, preferably including a few mods.

A lot of mods won't provide you with a source, but they will tell you if the source is good if you come to them with the name first. In other words, do your homework first, then verify.

there is also a melting point test you can run, which can give you a good idea if its real also. Not nearly as definitive as a lab test, but can be helpful... Until you get some powder thats been picked to sub for something just so it would be a meltinpoint/displacement test. you could also do a displacement test, but finding the actual displacement of powders is something i've been trying to do for a while and can't find good answers .
