- How to tell whats fake and whats not -

ad

I think there could never be enough helpful advice on how to spot fake gear, this is not something I have a tremendous amount of experience with and would like some of you guys expert options. I am sure there alot of members here that are new to the roid world that wouldn't no if the gear they purchased was the real deal or just some punk sources way of rippin the buyer a new ass hole. I know when I recieved my 1st order from a source I got on here I just assumed it was legit because of the way my vial looked. The label looked professional and the vial was sealed. one of my 1st thoughts were how could my gear not be legit if it was sealed by the manufacturer. I would think it would be more obvious with the tabs but thats not something Ive used before to give advice on. I personally would be more likely to take advice from a member here that had a high rep but I am always all ears for input. So lets take this thread serious because it cant do anything in the long run but help us all out on placing source reviews.

Has anyone seen the labels on the Lixus products? All of mine have the halogram which seems like it would at least make the labels harder to fake.

For some amps, signs of a fake are:

-Lot #'s and Expiration dates that rub/scratch off; and
-Inconsistency with the amount of liquid from amp to amp

I was able to spot fake Testoviron Depot Amps from Schering because thelot #'s partially rubbed off.

well like 7 said the blood work is the best way to tell unless your gonna send it out and spend money to get it lab tested. Now i know some people will agree with my next comment and some will not but here goes....as far as test and EQ go....trick i learned from a veteran aas user is besides the fact that you can learn the distinctive smell you can also put a little bit on your tounge for taste. If you got striaght oil and ripped off it will be basically bland and tasteless. Now if it has a chemical type taste to it or something you find a bit wierd tasting then you may have good prduct. Cant say if its undrdosed or still 100% legit but ive learned from tasting 4 different brands that the good gear seemed to always have that same chemical fucked up taste. I also notice in a small enclosed room like bathroom etc...you may catch a smell of it. You will learn to know it when you taste or smell it. Now some people either say tasting it is dangerous cuz you dont know what it is.....DUH.....so is injecting something you dont know what it is. Others also say tasting or smelling proves nothing but it my experience i feel it at least put me to ease and everyone i thought was g2g turned out to be right about. just my 2 cents

It's my personal opinion that out of the 150+ sources here on eroids, MOST are scammers..many of them based out Nigeria where cyber-crime is completely unchecked.
If you want to know if your gear is legit, wait untill about week 5 or 6 of your 12 week cycle, and then get a simple blood test for $100. It's well worth it to know you've found a legit source, and besides, if you've spent 500 bucks on gear to run a cycle, then you OWE it to yourself to check your blood. I don't know of any serious athletes from my gym who don't have bloodwork done.
Unless you're going to actually send a sample of your gear out for testing (not very practicle--and very expensive), a blood test is the only way to know that your gear is elevating testosterone levels. Compounds like D-bol would be exempt from this, as they tend to actually lower T levels. But Testosterone is THE KING OF HORMONES...AND THE HORMONE OF KINGS.
Also, avoid buying from any site where they can't spell...or they say something like .."YO...YOU GOTS TO BE TRYIN DIS SHIT...IT BE FLY"

very helpful info

The label is probably the hardest thing to fake, but with hi-res scanners and laser printers that can make conterfit money look real........ . Hologram label are an added layer of protection, but even they can be faked (at greater expense). Hell I bet scammers have bought legit products, used the contents and refilled and re-crimped with a new top. The best answer, TRUST IN YOUR SOURCE, their rep, their products, etc.
That's why when we find a great source you stick with them.

Well its hard to tell with ugl really,i got t400 and thought it was rather watery but it was g2g,where as the cidoteston (pharma) enthate i have is super thick.With pharma though the amp's will often be completely different size's (amp's are never 100% exact match's but they are pretty much).Serial,batch,exp number's for some strange reason often get made up out of 0's and 1's (i have no idea why).Test also smell's but other than experience,if you have'nt got that...eroids is here

It's almost impossible, but check out this site...Some people say that theese rules do not apply to UG labs, so the only way to find it out is to try it...I know It's risky, because if it turnes out to be fake, you're gonna heve a blown cycle and some money thrown out of the window...

the main way to tell is to post pics up and let everyone else take a look, others can also help tell u if they had good results or not. but just because something is sealed does not mean that its real, every heard of a $200 vial crimper? anyone can take straight cottonseed oil or grapeseed oil(main oils used in steroids) with out any hormone and crimp it off with the right tools, and make it look legit. that combined with a good lookin label will fuck many people over, thats why we r all lucky to have found eroids. there are a lot of sites doing this, and fucking everyone over

popeboy1's picture

this is very useful intell, I know theres always jackasses outthe ready to run a scam. I guess the only way to really tell is wait for the results. it kinda shitty not know what we are puttin in our bodys because some clown wants to run game on us

Yes, we're lucky to have eroids, but it doesnt mean that all sellers here is g2g.
I ordered 3 things from one of the top 3 sellers and 2 of them turned out to be fake.You're not completely safe here either...
