qv size

[mrpower]

This may be a stupid question.... but i know the qv massage oils are advertised as 10ml, but is it actually 10? My previous massage oils were labeled 10 but only had 8, so i needed 3 for a 10 week.

Its a hit or miss with some products. I never had any issues with the old QV products. A friend of mine will be receiving some of the new QV stuff so I'll know more then. If your concerned about accurate dosage, why not go for single dose units instead? Just a thought.

does anyone know if they are underfilled?????

this is an often misconception. if a vial is filled really with exactly 10ml most people will get 9 out of it for a couple reasons.
1. a 23 gauge needle 1.5 inches will retain about 1/10th of a ml in the needle every shot unless you keep an air bubble at the end and purge the needle which is unsafe for the most part.
2. I know i personally push the air out of my needle to the point i let a few drops out to "lube" the needle for a smooth injection...
if you think you got 8ml than it was probably underfilled, 9 i could stand behind lol...

I had a 10mg that I pulled exactly 10mg out of. Consider anything riding in the sharp will be " lost amounts"

Yes. I have almost lost 1/3-1/2 of a ml. Not every vial will give you an exact 10 mls. Even real HG amps are sometimes not exact. That's not an accurate indicator of quality or whether it's legit or not. I have never had any problems with QV old or the China line. Never get less than 9 mls. QV is a ugl so what do you expect. I could see if you only got like 7 mls out of it, it would be a concern

I've pulled 9ML (give or take) out of vials before. Vials that *I* filled with 10ML. Even if someone says QV is underfilled, it doesn't mean it's true, OP. Mville isn't wrong about losing product.

hey bud

hey man just letting you know that if you got your qv from a board sponsor , just let them know that the product you recieved was underfilled and they will more than likely take care of you , the same thing happend to me and they took care of me , laters

Most pull a little more than 1ml out at a time that way if you "lube" the syringe you still have your full ml. Over time that can account for a good little bit that is "missing"
