Good info, I’ll look into it deeper when I get a chance. I will say that you shouldn’t use you main email for purchasing from any other than the most trusted companies. I have a couple of secondary email addresses to hopefully avoid this scenario on my main lifeline address.

@erichulburt said: Only real complaint: they sell out fast. Get on the restock notification list and have your payment method ready to go the moment a drop opens 100%! Rory is easy to work with, stands behind the products he sells, and a straight shooter imo

Also, cutting and pasting the same response is lazy.

@Snake-Pepskin Fair point, and appreciated — I hadn't considered acetic acid for kisspeptin. Good to know for next time. Here's why I still lean toward the vial rather than the recon, though: roughly 1/8 of the cake was fused to the glass wall. The other 7/8 dissolved without any trouble. If this were the compound being difficult at my concentration, I'd expect the whole cake to fight me, not for most of it to go in clean and one welded piece to hold out. The floating flakes look like residue from where it was bonded to the glass — translucent, and the two bigger ones drift around like ghosts when you shake it up. Which is admittedly kind of cool. Diluent was Hospira BAC, day 5 from cracking the seal. Used the same bottle successfully before and after this vial, so I don't think that's the variable either. My read is that it happened at lyophilization — a cake that partly collapsed or fused to the wall during freeze drying. Storage on the vendor's end is possible too; I'm taking it on trust that it was held properly. Either way, they refused a replacement, so I won't be ordering from them again.
