Okay I had a couple ten ml bottles of test e out in my car and it was cold as hell out like 25 degrees and when I brought them in a couple days later I noticed that the Test E was a different color then the ones I had in the house. it was whiter or a little grey looking cloudy almost vs. the others that were nice and clear…
What gives? Is it still okay to use? Have I ruined it I can’t imagine it was that cold inside my car? Has this ever happened to anyone? Can I still use it? I’m gonna be pissed if I ruined it? but I would rather know then not know…
What you saw was presumably some precipitation/crystallization from the solubility of that particular formulation being exceeded at that temperature, while other products had a greater solubility margin or did not have time to begin crystallization. (Initiation can take time.)

Thanks, that was quick… I assume it will be fine to use then?
Bill, are you saying you would recommend he use cloudy (crashed) gear? I find this very surprising to hear.
If there is any crystalization, wouldn’t it be a bad idea to inject? I assume you are assuming that it has returned to solution.
I have had this happen to me and have quickly solved the problem by heating my vial for a short time. Everything went back into a nice, clear solution and I never had any injection issues.
Just to be clear: Smitty should not inject his current gear until it is a beautiful, clear, urine colored oil, right? If it looks like somebody shook up a bottle of beer…or, I guess, urine, for that matter, it would be best not to inject.
I’m being funny, but seriously, Smitty, if your gear is cloudy, it needs to be heated for a short while before injection.
Yes. If there is still precipitated material, while fundamentally a pharmaceutically-prepared suspension could be an entirely reasonable thing to inject, the particle size resulting from crystallization from cooling would be completely uncontrolled and might be unsuitable.
