What are Blisters Worth?

[Tbaronfl]

All things considered, with the amount of conterfeits out there, I wonder if that many vendors would go to the trouble of doing blisters. While its not a full proof guarantee, I'd put more faith in blisters than a baggie, ha.

A blister is only good if you finished the job at hand.....  HAD too !!!!!!

I think I'm on the fence.

If you shake a package full of blisters it makes an indistinguishable rattling noise. I'm actually surprised customs doesn't have a "shake test"

Whereas vacuum sealed pills are silent when shaken. And if you buy from the recommended vendors here I doubt you have to worry about fakes.

Fortunately, I don't think there is a "shake test", instead customs most likely rely on modern equipment to "sniff" out contraband. And regardless the packaging, if it's air tight it's probably good, but that's just a guess.

(Disclaimer: I have first hand knowledge of such equipment being used to detect drugs in airports. I haven't the foggiest how customs does their snooping)

I know ksalol comes in blisters but you rarely get them I. The blisters. Never understood why

Blisters just take up too much space. I try to order from vendors I trust only so I'm not hung up on blisters. I'll usually find small fragments of the blister wrapping in many cases telling me my order came from blisters.
I just find smaller packing to be much safer and more discreet.

Agree with Stripers. IMO, the blisters are good for nothing other than rattling around and making noise, therefore attracting attention.

Same with Apaurin which is generally regarded as one of the best types of diazepam out there - mine came with some circles of foil in it. I have had it boxed and blistered before, but that was an unusual order. I accept that send it loose made it much smaller. But I really hope they wash their hands / wear gloves!

I agree - I actually like best when they are vacuum-sealed in plastic, as one vendor does. Absolutely noiseless. And I've had vitamins in blisters that seemed worthless, and others in a baggie that were 100% potent, so blisters don't impress me anymore, although they did when I first started using IOP's. They do NOT mean legitimacy.

I agree.  I try to avoid vendors with blisters.  I have had a few totally fake blister packs and have thrown them away after trying a few and determined the contents are fake.  If they fake the blister packs - imagine what the product inside could be made of!!!

You guys raise some very good points. Never thought of it like that.
