Success Story/Reassurance Post (READ IF YOU’RE STRESSED)
Alright, I wanted to make this post as reassurance for anyone stressing out. First time trying QF and I passed at Quest. If you’re anything like me, your mind is racing and you’re scrolling through every post on this subreddit trying to figure out if you’re cooked. The process is honestly pretty easy if you follow the instructions carefully. Most failures seem to come down to human error. So here are a few tips that helped me:
Buy from the LEGIT website, urineluck.com . This is the manufacturer’s site, Spectrum Labs, so you’re way less likely to get an expired batch (still verify it when it arrives). Shipping took about 5–7 days for me. Sure, you can go to your local smoke shop if you’re in a pinch, but then you’re rolling the dice on it being expired, or fake.
Get an external thermometer. Go to Walmart or wherever and buy a cheap thermometer. The temp strips on the bottle are somewhat reliable, but for an extra few bucks you get total peace of mind. Check the temp after shaking/microwaving the bottle, and again 5–10 minutes before the test. I aimed for around 95–99°F.
Practice. This is probably the biggest thing. Do at least one full practice run before test day, follow the bottle instructions exactly, and practice “the hold”. Remember, you could be waiting 60–90+ minutes between heating it up and actually taking the test, so practice keeping it in range for that long. I also found that my microwave was underheating it, so I had to do extra 3–4 second bursts after the initial 10 seconds. Just don’t overheat it. if it goes over 100°F, let it cool down naturally. you can use the bottle multiple times, but I bought a couple packs and just used one as a tester.
Be cool. Remember, these people do tests all the time. if you’re not acting weird, they’re usually not gonna act weird either. There was way more pressure in my head than there was in real life. Walk into your testing site like it’s any other day. If they Bag & tag, you are basically good.
