What's everyone's approach to keeping their supply, whether it's just for themselves or for selling on? Mine is personal and I want it to stretch across several years, but I keep going back and forth on containers. There's a small deep freezer that I use for nothing else. My idea is to leave them inside the small kit cases they arrive in, then drop that case inside a dark case, hard or soft shell, and finally stack those inside the clear Costco bins that have lids.

From everything I've read, if the freezer has no unthaw feature and light exposure stays minimal during the rare times it gets opened, peptides ought to hold up 5-10 years? Given all the Reta drama, my plan is simply to assume Eli Lilly will make it hard to source and load up heavily on it right now. Eli Lilly will be filing for whatever the name of the license is 1st quarter of next year so we still have some time to buy it the way we've been.

I'd love to hear some other ideas and see your setups!!

I made vial cases on a 3D printer that stack with each other, and I simply transfer my kits into them. A single case holds 50 vials and takes up much less awkward space in the freezer, and since it's a closed black box, there's no chance of light getting in.

They only come open when I'm putting another kit inside or pulling out a vial to recon.

This thread has been relocated to the section where it belongs.

Spend a moment checking out a handful of the other discussions posted here.

The reason it matters: when a bunch of members respond to one question, they probably won't do it a second time.

Or at least they won't on the same day.

There are multiple threads covering this exact topic today.

Best of luck!!

Right now my peps live inside Hydrapeaks (using inserts) in a freezer that runs cycles. Picked up the Hydrapeaks from Marshall's and TJ Maxx near me. Tirz sits at the top of my stash priorities, though I'd like to branch out into Sema and Reta as well.
 
My stash goes into pencil cases, which I then place inside a basic zippered fabric lunch bag, and that whole thing sits in the chest freezer out in the garage. Yesterday the freezer needed defrosting, so the bag had to spend the night in my refrigerator freezer instead. No issues.
 
My vials are kept in slotted cases, and I add moisture absorbing packs to each one. I've got a 1-50 vial case, a 1-60 vial case, 2-63 vial cases, and a 288 vial case. A further 50 was just ordered by me. Everything sits in my mini freezer, which runs at about -12*F.
 
I picked up a deep freezer at Costco, and for the kits I won't be touching for a while, I place them in freezer bags inside the cases they arrived in. I used to have hydrapeaks, but I no longer see any advantage to them, given that the freezer isn't going through a freeze thaw cycle.
 
There's a -40f freezer sitting in my office, and I've dialed it to -30f specifically to hold the peps. Cost was around $300, if I remember right.

My apologies for that. Yeah, I notice the other threads now, and I'll do a search before posting next time. Appreciate you letting me know — that's on me.

This comes up pretty regularly, honestly.

Not a problem at all — but since these questions matter, I figured you'd want the best results possible.
 
Right now my supply sits in a mini-fridge freezer, still inside the cases it arrived in. Since I'm planning to grow a bigger stockpile over the next few weeks, I've been hunting for other ways to store it. The 3d printed setups some people here have brought up sound appealing to me. The freezer only gets opened when I need a ball of ice for my bourbon or when I'm pulling out my next vial. Having the bourbon ice in there means I end up checking on things more often without really having to think about it.

Wow, mine can reach -20°F, but I usually leave it sitting between -10 and -15°F.

Ha, total amateurs. Just kidding around.
