Testosterone Cypionate overcooked?

I did my second home brew test cyp at 250mg/ml using MCT oil last month.

The problem is I got distracted while heating it, and dissolving the powder. It got really hot, hot enough to start smoking for a few minutes. I think this was about 320 deg f when it started smoking. Call it 3 minutes at 330 f. to be conservative.

So.... Did I destroy the oil?

It looks really good, maybe slightly tinted compared to previous mct oil batch. I pinned it for the last 2 weeks, no pain, but hard to say yet if it works.

Thanks for any opinions.
 
What recipe did you use?
MCT is a synthetic oil and will start to burn off the alcohol and BB before anything else. I would say you may have some degradation but maybe not as much as if you were using an organic oil.
Next time pre-heat your oil and add it to the solution. You should add your powder, solvent, then your oil. that will work much better and no overheating issues.
 
Recipe is:
2% BA (Volume)
20% BB
51% oil
remainder powder

I had everything mixed and heating up nicely, then ran off for an emergency. Smelled a foul smoke, whitish and acrid. Maybe that was the BB burning off?

Do you think I degraded the hormone, making it less potent?

BTW the MCT has been great, really smooth injecting with EQ and cyp.
 
The BA and BB have a much lower boiling point than the oil - they will definitely start evaporating first - have seen it myself one time when I pre-heated the oil and added the ba/bb *after* . Was a bit too hot, so they started boiling when added to the hot oil, giving, nice white clouds of not very nice smelling material :)
 
Usually around 250 F is when oil will start smoking. I wouldn't be too worried about it if Pharm's go up to 400 F
 
Good news. I just did bloods and my gear is good.

So I think safe to say cyp can take a lot of heat before it starts breaking down and loosing it's mojo.
