Hey all,
Ever since I heard about this drug 2 or 3 years ago, i wanted to try it because I want to be tan (with less UV exposure as possible) and be able to hang out on the beach and play water sports naturally.
My story is like this: From 0 to 4 years old I was blonde, could tan perfectly. After 5 years old my hair changed from blonde to chestnut/dark copper, still could tan. When I reached 9 years old, i couldnt tan no more, always burned and also freckled.
 
My stats: 24 years old, 70kgs (154lbs), 1,75m (5'9) . Possibly a 1+ Fitzpatrick type (not sure about this), blue/green/grey eyes depends on the weather, mostly blue.
 
Bought from Oliver (c0c4in3), Germany
 
Here come the "before" pictures, I will update this weekly
Will start November 1st, 2006, 1mg daily for a week, then bump up to 2mg, getting as much UV exposure as possible without exposing myself from 10am to 4pm
 
 
 
5 10mg melanotan-1 vials... cant help notice how different the content looks in all of them
 

 
The "lifesaver" effect...hardened on the 2nd vial from the top... does anybody know how to get rid of this, dissolve it? Is it normal?

Good stuff, e22. Can you just confirm you're taking melanotan-1, not melanotan II? You haven't actually said...

Hey E22, excellent initial photographic documentation!  Be aware that all your hair will probably turn black before the end of your cycle.  It happens with melanotan II, but I'm not sure if it happens with melanotan-1.  My hair was already dark brown so the change to black was not that noticable.
 
I like the Aqua Clean thing.. pretty clever!  Who sold you the melanotan-1?
 
I have heard that some manufacturers of melanotan "pack" their products to reduce air exposure, so maybe the lifesaver vial is from a different manufacturer.  Although it has some fluffy stuff in it too... hmm.  The volumes in each vial seem to vary quite a bit.  Do you have a milligram resolution scale that you can weight each one with?  They should all weigh the same.

No, it's not contact lens cleaner!  It's pure water with 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol added to prevent bacteria growth.  Do not inject the contact lens cleaner!  I know where to get it in the USA, but this probably won't help you.

please dont, bact water is too cheap for you to do that bro

Jesus christ, don't use destilled water for injections. That's the water that you use for ironing not for injecting into your body. It's stupid to spend good cash on melanotan-1 and then use water like that. The risk of getting and infection is high if you use anything but water meant for injections.  
 
Don't search exclusively for bacteriostatic water. You can ask for saline, that's water with HCl that is very common for injecting and it works just fine. Preload the syringes, freeze them and thaw one at the time when you need it.

Ah ok sorry. I'm used to anything after reading this board for a couple of years. I remember one guy asking if he can use tap water for diluting the peptide.

Your first injection sounds exactly like mine.   You're likely injecting too shallowly and creating a pocket of fluid just under the skin.  If you put the needle in straight and deeper then push the plunger slowly the fluid will disperse more evenly and you won't stress the surrounding tissue so much.

Started Nov 2nd, 2006
11/2 = 1mg - No significant UV exposure - Type 1
11/3 = 1mg - No significant UV exposure - Type 1
11/4 = 2mg - No significant UV exposure - Type 1
11/5 = 2mg - No significant UV exposure - Type 1
 
Weather in general has been bad, so no chance to expose myself to sunrays. And I work Mon-Fri at basement level.  
No changes in skin or hair pigmentation.
 
I managed to inject myself and make it somewhat painless, thanks to the video posted of subcutaneous injections, im using the same syringe as the guy ( BD Ultrafine 29G 33mm needle) and injecting at upper thigh, 45 degree, whole needle in.
 
Studies have been done at a 0.16mg/kg basis for 12 days, in my case, 70kg, it would be about 11mg per day... still my supplier and people in the boards recommend between 2 or 3 mg per day.. im looking for alternatives to expedite the process
 

I cant believe the amount of garbage information that people are told when it comes to melanotan-1....... 0.16mg/kg/day is the official dossage (Epitan trail) for 15 days so even if you only wheighed 50kg you would have to inject 8mg/day even at 0.08 half of the official dosage you would need to inject 4mg/day. 1-2mg/day just wont cut it!  
 
 
**********MY MISTAKE***************
  0.16mg/kg/day 10days/month. Sorry
