BA and BB

ad

its seems many labs use different amounts of BB than BA in their oils. More of either seems to be the case. More BA always seems to give me ill symptoms.

Could someone explain what's up? Frankie, you'd be perfect for this question

all i really know is that bb is the condensation of both BA an benzoic acid. the higher the BA % the more PIP it should give if im not mistakin. but they use BA because of low toxicty. this is what ive gotten from research a bit ago. but frankie would def be more of a help.

BA kills all the nasty bugs (sorry Nate), BB is a solvent. Normal #'s are in the 2.5% BA and 15.5-17.5 BB range. UGL don't have a set standard and each lab is different.

lol i do know this.... Just thought there might be a reason why ugs change up their percentages and figured it had something to do with some (me)sensitivities towards high BA amounts.
