How full is a new 200mg/10ml bottle of test cypionate from West Ward

[Mcgragor]

I just got a brand new bottle of test c and it looks as if some has been used. I popped the lid and it appeared as if it was new and the rubber seal looks new with no puncture. I get it from my innovative med doc.

The level of test is just under the label, so the bottle is around 3/4 full. I've been on this for like 3 years now, but for some reason this bottle looked different like some had been used. I could ask them, but I've had issues before (on other items) and didn't want to sound like I was questioning them.

Thanks

I'm not sure how we can tell you if a bottle that we've not seen looks as if it's been used previously.

It's the West Ward brand. Comes in a white and purple little box. Figured a lot of guys that are on t probably use it. Doesn't look tampered with and my Dr. stocks them, but the T inside only goes up about 3/4 full, so it just looked funny to me like it should have more in it.

I've used these for a few years, but I only get a new one every few months and for some reason this just stood out as looking different. Thought someone on here might have just got a new bottle recently.

The logical conclusion is take it back where you go it and ask them, right? Is that too simple?

 

[Mcgragor]

lol, yes I can call them, but as I mentioned in my post, they can be hard to deal with in the past and I try not bother them unless necessary. Didn't want them to think they were screwing me over as the bottle didn't have any puncture holes that I could see.

The vial was sealed, right?

Vials do not come 100% filled, and it being 75% filled is not indicative of it containing less than 10mL.

Have you considered that the manufacturer simply uses a vial larger than 10mL but only fills to 10mL?

What you're asserting is theft of a CIII substance, a felony, which is a serious matter. I highly doubt that this is the case.

 

[Mcgragor]

Yep, I agree. I wouldn't think it was on purpose, but maybe a manufacturing error that wasn't caught.

I think it's a manufacturer design. There are very few containers that are shipped filled to max capacity. Testosterone is no different.

I had two 5ml vials from Hallandale that were under filled. Someone posted the same exact problem on Reddit and we compared batch numbers and they were the same. I'm not sure how that happens, and I don't think it's intentional, but it sounds like getting under filled vials is a possibility.

Vials of injectables must have some air inside for the process to work. The air space allows you to inject some additional air to increase the pressure in the vial to better force the test out. You couldn't do that if there were no air space.

Incidentally, I have found that I can always get 1.2 ml out of a 1 ml vial. To some extent the vials are overfilled, perhaps to allow for the fact that you cannot get 100% of the liquid out of any vial.
