Raw Powders

[JLAWz]

Measuring 10mg is a pain in the ass, and very prone to error.

It would be much better to, say, take 1g of powder and add 'filler' to make the whole mix 100g. Mix it thoroughly, and you've got 10mg/g concentration in a powder form. Measure out 1g into little vials, and you've got 10mg var in that 1g which you could add to a shake or something else.

It's a little more complicated when it comes to actually capping, as you need to figure out the mass of filler which fits in one cap, then do the same sort of thing only diluting the var with filler so that it's 10mg/cap rather than a straight-up 10mg/g.

For example, let's say that your cap holds 300mg of powder weight (filler measurement using multiple caps, and take the average). Take your var and mix it up at 10mg per 300mg (1g powder in 30g total weight; 1g powder plus 29g filler). After that, you can cap away... does that make some sort of sense?

Kinda, but if you mix the powder with the filler, how do you know that it will be mixed so good that each cap will have the same amount of Var/filler. (Im sure it wont be EXACT, but will it be really close if mixed well?)

With the caps; would you measure the weight of the cap? It seems really easy to pack more powder in one cap than the other!

Bare with me, I will get it before too long!(Hopefully)

Thanks Dr. M,

Yes, if mixed uniformly and properly, you will have a uniform and proper dosage of active pharmaceutical ingredient.

To make this accurate, you need to do a few things:

1 - Measure the weight of powder in a number of caps which have been TAMPED (pressed). Measure 20 caps, record the data, and calculate the average weight of filler in each cap. Larger sample size for the average means a more accurate average.

2 - Make sure you put roughly the same amount of powder in each cap. If you're tamping properly, this isn't too tough. Consistency is all you're looking for.

OK, let's talk accuracy.

If you're off by 10% when you measure 10mg straight-up, you're gonna have 9 or 11 mg (10% high or low, respectively). If you're off by 10% in the mix, you're gonna have let's say 270 or 330 mg (assuming we have 300 mg average filler weight per cap). Which is harder to mess up - 1mg or 30mg?

If that's not convincing enough, let's say you're off by 5mg every time. 5mg extra of pure var is a 150% dosage! Oops... 5mg extra (305mg, let's say) will give you 10.17 mg var with our above 10mg in 300mg mixing example. See what I'm getting at?

Using a more dilute sample can help you with measuring inaccuracies.

capping is defaintly a pain in the ass, suspend it in alcholol(pure grain) taste like shit though

 

[JLAWz]

Thanks Dr. M.! Understood!



When capped are ya'll talking about the "liquor" everclear?

 

[Dr. M]

Yes, they're talking about using everclear or other relatively pure ethanol to dissolve your powder for ingestion.

Personally, I'm a bigger fan of the capping idea, but it IS much easier to measure and dissolve than it is to cap, measure, adjust, fill, tamp, cap, measure...

[JLAWz]

I know its not much, but wouldn't the everclear just put a bigger strain on the liver?

 

[Hardcoregrowth]

Not sure about the strain.

I have never made Var, but I make my dbol injectible, so I dont have to worry about it.
I dont think I would try to make the Var injectible....I read some of the powders are only 70% pure

 

[JLAWz]

I read some of the powders are only 70% pure

REALLY?
What would be the best way to check this? Send it to a lab?

 

[muscleup]

Not sure about the strain.

yup I heard the same thing...Most of the test pwder has been tested though, and it all comes back about 98-99% legit...
