whats the best oil to use

[Pignus]

^^^^^
No. For the applications you have in mind the only major differences will be seen with regards to differences in polarity..... Hydrophyllic vs lipophillic
That's not to say similar solvents don't have different degrees of solubility, they would be miniscual and not related to viscosity. Viscosity increases as the intermolecular forces increase (the more likely a substance will bond with itself) and nothing to do with intermolecular forces between a solute and solvent

I use MCT oil

Im giong to be using cottonseed oil as its a little cheaper haha

Are you using food grade?

 

[Collinb]

Yeah probably, just filter it myself and such.

 

[Pignus]

Ok, I can get 1L of grapeseed for 7.00 at the market and the same is almost 50.00 (with shipping) for USP.

I just put it into a beaker and heat for 1 hour at 300F. I used to filter it first with filter paper and a funnel before heating but I don't anymore.

 

[Collinb]

Yeah pretty much the same concept for me, go to store and pick up a jug of the oil I want, heat then filter myself and boom easily solved.

You guys would switch to mct oil if u knew just how thin it is

I did some research on oil viscosity. There are some carrier oils that my lab supply source is carrying now that arent on this list. I would likt to verify their viscosities as well. But as you can see, this verifies what my supplier told me, cottonseed is the thinnest. Keep in mind, they do not carry safflower. This is what i found. Cottonseed is thinner than grapeseed, but safflower is even thinner.

Castor 297.0 - Thickest
Crambe 53.6
High-Oleic Safflower 41.2
Peanut 39.6
Sunflower 37.1
Grapeseed 37.0
Sesame 35.3
Corn 34.9*
Cottonseed 33.5*
Soybean 32.6
Safflower 31.3 - Thinnest

What's mct viscosity cause that sounds like an excellent carrier .?

Is mct oil thinner than ethyl oleate? I think im going to try it next time. The source i normally use for solvents and carriers doesnt carry mct oil. Im going to have to do a little research. Sounds like a winner though.

 

[striffe]

Ive seen talk on the internet like GNC carries mct oil. But i went to their website and i cant find it.
Maybe i can find it at whole foods.

 

[Ironbuilt]

Yeah it's all over . Mct , medium chain triglyceride . Whole paycheck will have it for sure but those hippies are crooks in there..

MCT oil has mixed reviews. Some argue its used for SEOs and shouldnt be used for injects because it would take too long to dissipate, others say its smooth as silk and perfect.

 

[Cobramike]

I don't know the exact viscosity but a 23guage can suck it up very nicely compared to grape seed that takes forever. It's very close to being as thin as EO. That's why I changed to it. EO hurts me but I wanted an oil that's just about as thin

Some have said it hinders the absorbtion rate of the hormone. I can say false on that. I can feel the NPP and Test Ace hit me just as hard as any other oil. Also a lil info that Geneza strictly uses MCT. Also to add, it flows through a 25guage perfectly

Well the table didnt come out like I planned, but as you can see thats alot of hte viscosity as given heats. A few added on to the list previously added

 

[Ironbuilt]

Still no mct viscosity so as Donald trump says. " you and hijacked are fired" Can either of you fry cooks tell us mct viscosity to compare with the other oils. ??

 

[Ironbuilt]

I don't know the exact viscosity but a 23guage can suck it up very nicely compared to grape seed that takes forever. It's very close to being as thin as EO. That's why I changed to it. EO hurts me but I wanted an oil that's just about as thin

The mcg hinders absorption rate? Oil has nothin to do with absorbtion rate it's just carrier fo the hormone into a depot. Mct is thin so of course body will assimylate that quick and hormone will be absorbed according to ester .. So I don't buy that ab rate either. Like you say it's better for a site or subq pin I would image like seo's.

 

[Collinb]

MCT is a smooth oil from all accounts that I read. People love it, and the only people who dont seem to be people who are saying so before even trying. They make claims that MCT oil is used as a SEO and shouldnt be used as a carrier. If you look fuckin elite fitness.com or whatever, people ask about different types of oils saying that they shouldnt use those for mixing that they should just use what people make, not understanding the oil is being used for brewing, and they just back up that MCT oil shouldnt be used because people use it to inject as SEOs or they used to before synthol. It is perfectly fine to use, personally Im going to go with canola oil because its cheap, same viscosity and near all same properties as GSO, and its one of the cheapest. 3 bucks for a 2 liter container.

 

[Ironbuilt]

I'm thinkin of tryin mct but interested in it vicosity and holding power of a high heat melt point ester is all.canola is used a lot, it just makes my skin too greasy and I think mct is good for my skin similar to coconut oil I cook with .
