Traveling with peppers

[kittymeow]

Hi Guys!!

I was wondering if anyone has traveled, specifically to Hawaii with their peptides? I’m leaving in 2 weeks and want to take my Reta and KLOW and I can time it right to take un-constituted there in those cooling cases, but coming back ill need it to stay cold for at least 8 hours. Has anyone successfully traveled with them and what case did you use? Would love any comments or suggestions

How long are you going to be gone?

There's no need to cool lyophilized peptides.

Make a vial with exactly how much you need for the trip and keep it at room temp. It’s good for 21 days or so.

I will be gone for 2 weeks! I know I don’t need it for lyophilized peptides, but if I take it there and reconstitute there then I’ll need to refrigerate to bring back.

For 2 week trips I take a dose when I leave, then take a travel vial with me with the doses I need plus a contingency allowance. A dose of Reta costs me around $2, I’d rather have an extra dose that gets thrown away vs run short because I tried to be exact or my trip got extended.

I’ve bought from here.

Yes. Peptide test has had sterile vials in the past. Pen carts are cheap too. $2 each or so. Buy reputable vials. I have had cheap crappy ones leak before

KS-TEK is a good brand that's available Amazon and elsewhere. I have their 3, 5 and 10ml ones. Good rating outside of Amazon too. I'll try that place @woundcarping has linked next time.

Hasn't there been a fair amount of talk on KS-TEK failing tests and having even visible particulates/contaminants in the vials?

I"m going to assume by this comment that you are currently not filtering anything and are just reconstituting into the lyophilized vials?

With that presumably being the case, I would assume your risk tolerance is much higher than needing to purchase certified depyrogenated sterile vials, but if you choose to go down that rabbit hole, the the 2 best companies I've found for trustworthy, certified, non-pyrogenic vials are ALK and FireGene.

What about customs etc ? No issues travelling with Peps like reta with no prescription?

I feel like I would worry for carry ons, and maybe international travel. Unless you preload into pens. The vial, no matter how nice you make a label, lyophilized seems like an invitation to be questioned, and reconstituted... 50/50. If I kept it in a cooler case, hard, plenty padded in my checked luggage, better.

I’ve been worried about this too but from everything I have read it seems that if you just tell them its medication they don’t say anything? so I’m not quite sure yet

To be fair, now that you mention this... I've traveled domestic and international with a good deal of various pills in a large schedule 2 week pill holder. No questions asked when looked at directly. So maybe vials unlabeled or self labeled won't matter, depending on the current and destination country.

Like, dont bring Adderall to certain countries. Those same countries may not like the vial thing.

did they question you? and did you fly with lyophilized or reconstituted?

I do just reconstitute directly into the lyophilized vials, I’m not sure what filtering means in this instance! (still pretty new to this all)

I still have 2 weeks before I leave so I have some time to make a decision

There's no customs flying domestically in the US. There will be an ag inspection leaving HI.

Domestically, my experience is TSA doesn't care about personal quantities in your carry on. They are more curious about the ice packs (frozen or not). I fly with peptides and oil. No big deal.

Internationally, it depends on the country.

I actually had no idea you couldn’t take Adderall to certain countries but I guess it makes sense! I have prescribed Vyvanse so I should probably check whenever I fly international!

But as far as Hawaii, I feel like they wouldn’t care about my ‘mediation’? They seem very concerned with wildlife and agriculture but I’m not sure if they’re strict on other stuff.
