At first I figured there might be a slight visual difference, but then I considered that it might just be caused by the viewing angle, the placement of the label, the top part of the one on the left, and so on — so I'm not sure.
From now on, labeling has to come first for me. Normally I keep things in order, but this time I let my focus slip. After filtering, I move mine into a fresh vial.
That makes 2 mistakes on my part.
Yeah, I guess you could say I'm a bit obsessive — whenever a kit shows up, I slap on these little custom stickers I paid $$ for, one on each vial. As soon as they arrive, I go kit by kit so there's zero chance of confusing what's inside. One time Selank and Semax landed in the same order, and both had the exact same blue caps. No way was I risking a mix-up if a vial or two slipped out and ended up among the rest. (Though honestly, with Selank or Semax, would it really have been a big deal? amiright?) Anyway, that whole ritual is part of what I enjoy about peptides — it scratches that itch — and it works for me. You can also see some vials I labeled after reconstituting and filtering into a sterile vial, with the dilution concentration written on them.TeresaHip said:

It just hit me that the kpv mg don't match!
Eh, I filter too, except my labeled vial sits right in front of me, I filter into a sterile vial, and that sterile vial gets the same label applied right then plus a dose concentration label...Planning to set up a BPC vial that way in the morning...
That's really great — I tend to be a bit OCD when it comes to keeping records. And having everything tidy is the bonus on top. Now I can see precisely what I should be doing.Flash-BCR said:

I hear you. My routine is to filter into pen cartridges, then that cartridge goes straight into the pen it's meant for. Good thing you ended up with two that will pair nicely since their dosing is close

Every time a kit shows up, I add it to a spreadsheet where I record the crimp and cap colors, then give it a batch number for testing. After that I print 2 labels: 1 goes on the kit box, and the other gets stuck on the vial I ship off for testing. Without those steps, I'm sure I'd have messed up in the same way. You learn from experience, right?
My plan is to pull the smallest dose from each one and cross my fingers that it turns out well.
