I’ve had it go both ways in the microwave.Believe it or not, the microwave works, even with the metal. It won’t spark. Quick and easy.
An old school coffee cup warmer is the easiest. It holds it at the perfect temperature. Just place the vial on that for 5 mins then shake and do 5 more mins before shaking the hell out of it.
Shit. That would be the end for me as well. Haven’t had that happen. I’ll stick with the coffee cup warmer.I’ve had it go both ways in the microwave.
Got a big arc the last time I did it. That was enough for me.
Put it in warm water till it dissolves.
I fried our microwave heating up a vial of crystallized testosterone. It only takes one arc.Believe it or not, the microwave works, even with the metal. It won’t spark. Quick and easy.

Arcing really only happens with sharp edges of metal. You can put a spoon in the microwave and it won't arc, microwave ovens have metal screws and metal plates inside and don't arc. If you put a fork in the microwave it'll arc.I fried our microwave heating up a vial of crystallized testosterone. It only takes one arc.

If your vial has a cheap flip top then where it attached to the flip top can be sharp. That should be removed anyway since you'll be dragging alcohol wipes across it all the time.
In any case, the coffee cup warmer is the way I'd go. It's cheap and works well.
