Testing

Dumb question, but what’s with most of the sources on this forum having most recent testing done one, two, even three years back?

Goodlyfe does testing way more often than that, more than anyone else. Hypertrophy just tested like 10 things too. Most don't appear to test every new batch outside of Goodlyfe, probably why you see old testing. Some like synergy and l&l have no recent testing.

Labs don't want to spend the money on testing because uneducated customers will buy gear from them because the dealer seems cool and is nice to them.

No one should be paying for gear that isn't tested! You have labs on here that will say STUPID SHIT like the place I get my raws from is good to go because I've been dealing with them for years.

This isn't the early 2000's it's easy to at least test raws and know the purity of the products you are working with is.

Yeah, blows my mind people would use gear that wasn’t tested. With how much ssc preaches safer use seems like there should be some sort of standard for posting test results every so often. Been going with newer labs as a newbie because they’re the only ones sending shit in.

On top of what has already been explained, there is a somewhat common pattern. Pretend I’m a brand new seller with 1000 vials of test.

No one knows me, so I send in samples of my tear to the lab. I post results, people give me a chance and buy from me. I sell all 1000 vials.

For the next batch, I could send a sample in. But how do you know that I’m not just sending a good vial to the lab, but mailing out vials that are 85% as strong to everyone else? There’s no way to know.

That’s why vendors offer store credit for lab work. Since they don’t know which vial may end up at Janoshik for testing, if they are doing anything shady, it’s a pretty big risk. In that way, offering store credit is an even better guarantee than submitting your own samples, but has the drawback that a customer has to actually do it. The vendors who do both are rare but fucking indispensable.

That’s a long way around to say, some people get tests done when they start up, and that’s what they post. That may be from when they first opened, and you may have to look for users’ posts to find the newer, blind test results.

It's great to see more members here understand the importance of testing. If more did, some of these sources would be getting way more business, while others lost more.
