Slo and Mustang, I agree with your opinions that the Ttokkyo products in general are a very good line. As you all know if you have read my past posts I have used the products since the beginning of the product line, and have been extremely happy with them.
The problem I see lately is the BA content as you have noted above. Ttokkyo seems to be experiencing some quality control issues, and this brings rise to some concerns by many bro's including myself. While the results of the products do still seem to indicate the quality of the ultimate product is good. The pain involved with the injections has lead some to believe they have infections and such, in most cases this is simply not the truth. I have heard of few confirmed cases of abscesses caused by the ttokkyo products. Those I have heard of involved questionable injection / preparation procedures.
Again, the quality control does cause some concern. Why from batch to batch is the level of pain / irratation wildly different? I have had / used 4 different batches of the cyp over the last several months (005, 025, 035, 041). Everyone of them had varying levels of pain (probably associated with the BA content) ranging from mild to down right cripling, lasting days to over a week. I have even considered (and still am considering) moving away from the products for a cycle or two, due to the excessive pain. The only batch that has been pain free was 041 which is also the most recent lote I have. I can only hope this is a sign the company is getting control of their QC issues..? I should also note this is also true of the Deca I have a recent batch that to my suprise caused considerable pain, deca at least for me has always been pain free. I am not bashing Ttokkyo in any form!!! I have always beleived the products to be first rate, but I also beleive they have some quality control issues that should be addressed. I should also note ttokkyo is not the only company who has this problem, nearly all companies at one time or another will experience QC issues...
