Pharmacom TNE smells a little funky

[nkresho]

Picked up a vial of the oil base to try pwo.

No floaters, color is pale yellow, so not overly dark.

Drew with a 25, swapped my 27 and gave the 25 a sniff.

Smells sort of like air from a tire. A little fishy maybe?

Guessing this is likely solvent I'm smelling, right? guaiacol?

Yep that's exactly what it is

Thanks for confirming. I'll give it a shot then

Guaiacol Smells like straight cleaner. One injection and you’ll stink for most of the day.

Man that stuff can really smell. I kept it in a closet in the garage because keeping it in my bathroom made the whole room stink. Sounds spot on however, loved popping 100mg as a pre workout, do it about an hour to 45 minutes before.

That smell is brutal and it definitely lingers on your skin for hours.

The more i am reading, the pharmacom stuff is not supposed to use guaiacol. Now i'm starting to suspect that the carrier oil might possibly be going bad.

I messaged the rep out of curiosity. Asked if they used guaiacol and if the TNE typically had a smell.

old thread but relevant:

Rep confirmed, due to the nature of TNE it does need a bit of guaiacol to stay dissolved.

Going to give it another smell test to see if my nose can differentiate between the chemical spell and possible spoiled oil. Since it's not that old, it's almost certainly guaiacol.

There’s no denying guaiacol, your initial description didn’t sound like it to me. The odor is almost as strong as bleach but has a different smell to it

yea sometimes you can even taste it after you inject it too

This is why we won't carry any products containing guaiacol. The juice definitely isn't worth the squeeze, that shit is rancid.

Ive just been hanging back on this thread to see how it played out, im glad they admitted it was guaiacol, ive never seen a no ester compound that didnt contain guaiacol. Was waiting to call bullshit would be great if there was tho

I got some minor PIP from the first injection. It was vastus lateralis at 1mL. I was a bit worried with the oil smell and all. Initially, upon injection it was totally painless.

I rarely get any PIP. It's random, for me. I seem to get it more from testc250 than i do from primoe200. Maybe once every 2-3 weeks i'll get slightly sore at the injection site the day after. Completely normal for me though. I typically do daily injections on cycle too, so smaller volumes (under 0.5mL).

Just adding this here as additional detail.

• Day 2 it was minor, just a bit sore. This was slightly more than the typical PIP that i get.
• Day 3 a bit more intense, but zero redness, swelling, or other issues just a bit sore. More soreness than I ever get from test or primo for sure.
• Today is day 3 and it's nearly resolved, so nothing serious, just regular PIP.

Got labs tomorrow so taking a break from TNE for a few days since i'm not lifting for a couple days. Will do the smell test later this week when i give it another PWO run.
