YesIs it possible to get bacteria stable water locally, like at a pharmacy or something? I should probably toss what I have.

Your "uncooled" vials don't look so new though! If your pins have been going in/out of this vial for 1 month UNCOOLED, then it kind of makes sense it gets bad. Even just the air you pump into it (for some extra pressure for example) can be contaminated. Especially if you are in a warm climate zone.I reconstituted two vials of peptides with baristatic water. Used a clean needle, alcohol wipe, the whole bit. After about a month I see what looks like mold growing inside. Anyone ever seen this happen? I'll attach a pic...View attachment 52724
It's hard from the photos to see much, but if I see something that isn't supposed to be there in my gear, I don't use it, contact the source and tell everyone I know .I reconstituted two vials of peptides with baristatic water.

On the downside not many source ms are going to admit to selling moldy gear.
I definitely, ABSOLUTELY, DID NOT say any such thing. The only thing I said along those lines was asking if bac water needed to be refrigerated and, as @Send0 posted, it actually should not be. I had been storing the water as per the instructions he posted. The peptides were stored in the fridge, before and after being reconstituted, and the mold grew in the fridge.... the OP noted he did NOT know you need to keep reconstituted gear under refrigeration and left it out.
In fact you said, exactly and I quote: " How long is bacteriostatic water good? I don't refrigerate mine. " Easy to interpret that as you are not refrigerating as needed.I definitely, ABSOLUTELY, DID NOT say any such thing.

Lol who's panties are in a bunch? I didn't see that on this post. Perhaps I overlooked those comments.I'm not a rep for the manufacturer or site the OP noted, but Jesus fucking Christ what a bunch of karen's in here get your E2 checked lady's the OP noted he did NOT know you need to keep reconstituted gear under refrigeration and left it out. Try that with ANY suppliers gear that calls for bacto water, and I guarantee you will eventually get mold.
Good to hear. Most people who are in the AAS business are reasonable, but they know very little about the quality of what they sell you other than what their source tells them.The source quickly said that they have never seen this happen, sent a call tag for me to return it and replaced it all at no cost to me. That said, I have moved on to a new source anyhow.
I would be hesitant on the warning too soon, though. I would always address it with the source and work with them before putting anything on blast.Good to hear.

The best you can do is warn others about potential quality issues. That's a big part of what this is all about.

There isn't anything wrong with this.Yeah that's what I wrote. It really needs very little interpretation; it's very clear. It means no more and no less than the words say. In any case I did not cool the bac water before reconstituting the peptide but as soon as it was reconstituted it was kept in the fridge. I see nothing wrong with this.
It was being pinned weekly, and the mold appeared after about a month. Again, I don't see anything wrong with what I did. There was more than a months worth in the vial.
Isn't that what I said?I would be hesitant on the warning too soon, though. I would always address it with the source and work with them before putting anything on blast.
I likely took what you said in a different context than what you meant it, bro. Also, thanks for the kind words, man. Much respect!Isn't that what I said?
But it's still a pr nightmare to sell products with mold spores.
I get what you are saying though IronSoul. You are a respected member if the bodybuilding online community for as long g as I can remember. Nothing but respect.
It's always good to reflect on and see if there is anything you may have done to contaminate it as well. Props to you for doing so. That is what a man of integrity does. I know that in the past, I have caused some issues in my vials on accident. I hope you get it sorted out brother.I don't know if I caused the problem or the source did; I didn't intend to claim that it was definitely their issue. And I reported that they handled it well.
Just stating the obvious.I likely took what you said in a different context than what you meant it, bro. Also, thanks for the kind words, man. Much respect!
