Do you switch peptide batches or suppliers before finishing what you have?

I'm thinking about rotating brands/suppliers for my peps once a vial from a batch is gone.

Wondering if anyone has pros, cons, or advice?

Take Reta as an example. I'm almost through my first 10ml vial from a kit. There are 9 more vials from that same batch sitting in the freezer. But I also have several other kits from different vendors that I want to test out. Partly to see whether they're equally potent, whether they're really reta, and so on. I'm just curious and would rather learn this sooner than later. It would suck to reach my final kit and only then discover the first vial was bunk, leaving me with no other batches on hand. That's probably never going to happen, but still.

Trying them all would make me more confident that my entire inventory is good.

What do the rest of you do?

Do you finish one kit before starting another? Or do you pull a vial from each kit to sample?
 
I purchase and consume the older inventory, which lets everyone else try out the newer items first and raise any real issues.

Should they fail your subjective "feels" assessment, you likely won't have much real recourse with the seller once the initial delivery period has ended.

Same here — I've got 4 BFF R30 kits that haven't been tested yet.

@nkresho I switch things up too. Right now I'm finishing off a vial of J5 R50, and next I'll use some older BFF stock I still have. Generally I pull 2 vials from a kit at a time. My wife uses it as well.
 
Glad to hear this approach doesn't sound nuts. Alright, going forward I'll rotate through different sources with every vial so I can evaluate each one. Appreciate everyone chiming in.

Next step is setting up one more dedicated freezer pack just for staging, kept apart from the "deep freeze" pack meant for long-term storage. I'm still working with a couple of hydrapeak 32oz containers, so I might pick up a smaller one for the peps I'll go through in the coming months. The goal is to cut down how often I have to crack open the long-term containers.

Plan is simple: everything except 1 vial from each batch goes into the "deep freeze" hydrapeak, and that lone vial goes into the "short term storage" hydrapeak.

Feels like I've almost got this figured out...
