Amps or Bottles? Is it preference or am I missing something here
ad
I've only got vials before because amps are more expensive and its the same mg/ml. So is it just a preference thing ? Safer to open fresh untouched goods every time? Or just more convenient ?

Amps have to be more sterile and convenient. But vials are cheaper.
Using a fresh pin every time u draw from a vial means less chance of contaminants.
These are the options to weigh up before making a choice.
I prefer Amps because most of the time it means, Pharma grade. Vials are easier though.
Amps are super convenient when traveling, If I'm gone a cpl weeks its much easier to tuck a few amps then a vial
Bottles are more price efficient, but I would get amps if I could afford it
Ultimately I prefer amps, never have gotten sick on an any contaminants from an amp, no glass in me, etc. My only, and large complaint about the amps is they'll from time-to-time the oils appear to collect at the top of the amp, the little part that looks like a condom tip reservoir. It can be difficult to get the oils to get back to where they belong in the amp. It just sits at the top without wanting to even drip down to where it goes and it can be a pain in the butt to get your full dose.
I love amps. When I started gear, the only thing available was pharma amps so it's kinda a sentimental for me (good old days ;) but also, I never really got 10 full shots from any vial. I opened thousands of amps using nothing else than just two fingers and never had a problem with a broken glass. On the contrary I had a ugl vials and the stuff was giving me pain at the injection site and fever the next day. I thought it was just a test flu, but after doing some research I found that it was common issue with that brand and the cause if it was the rubber stoper. The little piecies would brake off and get into the vial. I realized that it is not always the case, but I got stick in my head that amos equal better quality. Pick whatever us more convinient for you. If opening an amp is an issue for you, then go with vials. It may also depend on the dosage you want to run. With vials you have greater flexibiliy in dosing.
Vials are a lot easier to structure the dosing to your preference. What if an amp is 250mg, but you want to shoot 350? You end up cracking two amps and wasting gear.
I like amps. Always have. Used thousands over the years and never had a single issue.
StevebAmpoules are usually pharma grade, so if you want to try pharma you will likely use ampoules.
well the stuff i get you have the option of amps or vials, its the same exact product (pharm grade) just the option of how you want it
StevebI have never heard of a pharma grade company that comes in both ampoules and vials.
Like everything in life there is a trade off. Vials are easier to use, and they can hold between 1-100ml of liquid. The downside would be sterility concerns ( which should be taken care of via proper injection techniques). Also the stopper can possibly degrade over time.
Amps offer you a brand new sterile container for every use. The downside would be the fragililty, the limited volume, and of course the difficulty involved with opening the vial. Proper protocol involves using a filtered syringe to filter out any possible glass that may have contaminated the amp.
Everything in life is a compromise. Just choose a side.
ok that's pretty much what I thought, just wanted to see if there was something I was missing out on cuz everything between the two styles was the same exact product. Thanks
I hate amps , always have, most likely always will. You need an amp opener cause a pen cap and everything else eventually your breaking shit or shards of glass are falling in the amp etc etc.
I came across an amp opener when I was looking for Bac water and that was the only reason I was debating to try amps. One of the main reasons I never did was cuz they look like a pain in the ass to open lol plus if I'm on cycle then its not gonna take forever to use a 10ml vial anyways
To each their own. If your running a decent sized cycle splitting amps all the time will get old. In the end its up to you.
i hate amps too but some of the good shit comes in them! lol
StevebYou do not need an amp opener. You wrap a n alcohol swab around and snap it. They open easily once you get the technique down.
But if you really want an ampoule opener do not buy one. Just use a new syringe with the plunger pulled out.

DeathstrokeI use the alcohol pad method never failed me once. Personally amps or vials I'm good either way, though vials are way easier.
I have an amp opener and bought a very good one , even tho I don't use amps. I'm just not a fan of glass, if it were all top notch pharma brand that wouldn't be an issue but with some of the really cheap cheesy companies I've watched that technique and watched it splinter into pieces. To each their own tho, too much of a pain in the ass for my liking lol.
