My sn got here but...

[skylar160]

I got my sn from DMC. However, when I hold the packaging it feels like a stiff solid block. I didn't open it because I didn't want it to degrade. How are you supposed to put this inside a drink?

 

[areyousafe??]

I didn't want to open mine either. It was also rock hard. I'm assuming once you mix enough water and stir it around, it will eventually dissolve.

I'm guessing it's been compacted as much as possible to minimize any air exposure. I would expect when you open it, it will be easy enough to separate what you need. I ordered 2x 100g packs, so I will be testing the purity from the first bag, and making my final drinks with the second. The testing will let me see how easy it is to dissolve in water.

I'm still waiting on my DMC order, so it's exciting to hear you got yours! I'm curious how big the shipped package was, what it looked like, and what the sender details showed on the shipping label. I ask because I live with family and I hope to intercept the package before anyone else sees it, but I just want to know how "suspicious" it might look.

The package was in a box roughly 4x4x1 inches. The writing is small enough to not be noticable. It mainly just shows customs information. Inside of it you will find a metallic bag.

It's because it's vacuum sealed. Once you cut open one corner and let air in, it wil loosen up.

Thanks for the info. Also wondering: does it show the sender as a business name or a person's name, and is there anything that says what's inside?

Never ordered SN but I'll try to answer based on what I've heard. I believe it comes in a black envelope, but no clue what the label shows for the sender. As far as for what it says inside, I believe people get various labels. Some say stuff for pottery or concrete. It won't say SN or anything though.

Is it ok if you've handles the sealed packet it's in and taken it out but placed it right back in if that makes sense

 

[Jisatsu]

You'll be alright, it comes like that sometimes after all it's basically salt . Salt can harden together just the same.

Do you need to test the purity of the stuff from DMC?

I don't think DMC's quality has ever really been called into question so I'd say no, given the success people who use his has.

Did you test it yet? Should we be testing it?

To my knowledge, DMC has no reason to be doubted, as he's always been a reliable source. Some people still test to be safe, and if you've kept it for a while, you might then want to test it to ensure it's purity was maintained over time (very likely it has, it takes a while for salts to degrade). All in all, though, it's not really necessary to test it if it's from DMC.

I did test it with an aquarium test kit and it got perfect results. I tried the blood test but I had difficulty getting enough blood from small cuts and I didn't want to deeply cut myself so I decided I didn't need to go that far. Like everyone is saying, DMC is a trustworthy source, and I'm comfortable enough with the aquarium tests results.

SN is salt and it dissolves like one.
