TNE in EO Crashed

[northern]

So I decided to make TNE in EO @ 100mg/ml. Here is the recipe I used

2%BA
20%BB
10% Guaiacol or Super solvent
21grams TNE
EO to add remaining liquid.

Well due to an error I added 20 mils to much of the EO soo i ended up with 230 mls of Solution with 21grams TNE which is 91mg/ml about. So I added 2.6 or so grams and ended up just above the 100mg/ml mark and had 233mls of solution. Well I filtered and put it into 11 20ml bottles and crimped it. Mind you I lost 13 mils filtering and my concentrations of BA BB and Guaiacol were now 1.8%, 18.6% and 8.8/9% respectively.

Well after 10hours it had alll fallen out i mean there were and inch of crystals at the bottom of each bottle. SO i heated them for 12hrs at about 140 degrees. I took them off this time they stayed in the solution for 24 hours + before a tiny bit fell out. Now a small clump sits at the bottom of each vial 12 hours after the first time i noticed it falling out again. I checked it 6 hours after that and again about 1/8th of an inch of the bottom was covered with crystals. Getting better only 25% as much as the first fall out. By small clump I mean 1/20th what fell out the first time around.

What should I do? Do I add more guaiacol or do I heat again? Also does anyone have a surefire recipe for TNE in EO using Guaiacol that wont fall out?

Thanks guys!

I'm suprised that crystalized with that homebrew formula. I recently made an identical batch that didn't re-crystalize. Hmmmmm...when did you add the guaiacol? I always add mine after everything has been heated for 10-20min. It's my belief that anything over 15% guaiacol causes inj site discomfort but you could add some and see if it held. If I were you I'd add more EO to bring the concentration down to 75mg/ml and hope it holds.

Thanks for the idea that is what I am going to try. I added the guaiacol with everything at the begining and heated it and filtered. What is interedting is only 1/4 of what crashed the first time has crashed the second time. I am first going to heat it again and see how that goes. If that makes it any better I will keep reheating if not I will reduce the concentration.

Why would TNE crash with those ratios of BA and BB? I thought that those ratios would work for prop or any other short ester. What is guaiacol? Whats a good ratio of BA and BB alone in oil for TNE and prop that wont crash?

Sorry for asking, but what is TNE?

Sorry for asking, but what is TNE?

Testosterone no ester. Just straight testosterone

Testosterone No Ester in not really soluable in oil. Therefore Guaiacol is a that stuff sold as "super solvent" It helps stuff go into a solution.

Anybody have any help for my dilema?
