Hey,
Is it correct that the higher the concentration of the brew the thicker the end product? I made my first ever brew, which was test. E 100ml@250mg/ml with cottonseed oil. It seems to have come out well but at regular 250mg/ml it seems thickish. It can be quite difficult to draw with the usual 22g which I am used to drawing with. Is this normal? I now am using 18g to draw(2ml's)and then 22g to inject for most injects. I don't have a great deal of experience with oil based because I mostly have used water based products(BD test cypionate,winny etc..) so don't really know what is normal or not with 100% certainty.
I did use about 2ml's more oil than neccessary(by accident)and used much higher than necessary solvent, 5%b.a and 15%b.b. Doesn't hurt whatsover. Being new and all I didn't want to stuff it up, also a bit paranoid, you know, newbie nerves lol! :D
Besides pain, are their any other disadvantages to using this much solvent? The end product is a light yellow color.

No bro, all oil products are difficult to draw with a 22 ga pin. I put my gear in smaller vials and warm it up in my coffee cup, full of hot water before drawing and injecting.

Using an 18ga to draw works well for a while, that is until your stopper starts to fall apart and contaminate your gear.

Pain is the only concern when using that much solvent. Next time, you don't need the bb in your test enan conversion, just the ba. 5% is a good amount of ba IMO

Thats good to know. I thought that this would be the case with higher concentration levels. I will stick with 250mg/ml.
From responses it sounds like everything is alright. Thanks.
