Test Kit Experiences?

[bittner]

I was wondering which, if any test kits anyone has had experiences using. There have been quite a few 'new and improved' kits on the market compared to a short number of years ago and i'd like to get some feedback on them if possible.

Adulturant screening kits for ecstacy etc. as well as useful kits for screening ketamine and cocaine i would be interested in hearing about.

i do realize that for legal reasons some harm reduction groups use mecke regent etc. kits etc. as they are specifically for the purpose of screening.. and if you dont' feel comfortable posting experiences in using any of these or other kits feel free to shoot me an email, it would be greatly appreciated!

On a similar note regarding HR organizations, are they still active in your area? Do you feel they are still beneficial? Have you noticed a lack of presence? If so why do you think this is so?

i've always been my own test kit.

I highly recommend just being a guinea pig like the rest of us.
tests and quizes are why i dropped outta high school. ride the wave man, just ride the wave.

Iv used the EZ-test kit (got the somple kit) with Mandelin, Meke, and marquis (spellings prob off). anyways the usefullness of test kits is *very* limited unless you get one of the quite expensive ones that let you use reagents to cross examine pills to single out exactly what is in them. almost every pill you test will have some amount of mda or mdma in it. The problem is that because the mdma or mda will turn the reagent a dark black/purple colour you will have great difficulty in determining the other contents of the pill (ie speed). Also you will not know if you have mdma or mda.

EZtest makes a very good kit which is suposeto allow you to do all this stuff, btu i havent tried it out, and i am no longer interested in it. The main benefits these kits have is to show you if a pill is very speedy you may get a hint of green (or other color depending on the reagent) on the way to turning purple. you can do things like drip the reagent on the substance being tested and then tilt the plate so it kind of start to run across the plate, if you see any streaks of color that indicates something other then mdma then thats what the pill is cut with.

In the end though the kits are preaty dicey, and the first 5-10 pills you test out you will swear they must be "totally pure" hahaha. All things equal, find a raver that has lots of experiance popping, and doesnt mind speddys tabs (or otherwise) and let them try out your tabs and give you a report.

hope this helps :)
