That question again, but some different specifics (FakeBoobsRule pls)

[ShwaggyDoo]

Ok. Start with the basics. My test is tomorrow, I can go anytime before the LABCORP center closes at 330pm. I'm a 21 year old white male, 5'11" 175-ish lbs, stocky with muscle, George Costanza build. My metabolism is probably below average, I will unfortunately admit that, which is why I dont really eat too much, to keep my figure .

I havent smoked since Wednesday night, 13 days ago (13 and a half by tomorrow test time). This is a pre-employment basic screening (immunoassay with gc/ms confirmation).

Before my last smoke, I had been trying (with some success) to cut myself down to a 1-2 time a week smoker, this was for at least two months, starting in June.

So, I have a few basic questions. Sorry if some sound redundant, but I must ask for my own personal situation to ease my nerves, even if it won't affect the outcome of the test.

1. Before doing research (dumb me), I plunged $50 into Strip NC detox drink. I know what FBR is thinking, waste of money. However, at the very least, even if it doesnt help, will it hurt me at all in the testing area? I dont mind wasting 50 if it might increase my chances the tiniest bit.

2. Using the very detailed dilution method, what are my chances, in this forums most educated opinions of passing the sometimes hit and miss EMIT screen? assuming I dont get slapped with a diluted sample and probably fail automatically.

3. I have been taking niacin pills (legit, not flush-free), as I envision FBR cringe, due to my friends experience with it, I took on average 3 a day for 4 days, last time was last night. I won't be taking any today or tomorrow for fear that they test for niacin overdosing (confirm that?). So, even if the niacin didnt help me at all (got it for free at least) will that hurt me in the EMIT test?

I know FBR is the resident expert, but anyone else please please feel free to chime in. This is the best job offer I've ever had, even though I'm only 21. To be completely honest, I probably will not go back to the type of habitual smoking I used to do in my teen days, and *gasp* I might continue to stay clean all together.

Thanks for the time, sorry for another one of these all-too-common threads.

EDIT: Person's reply got deleted.

Yes Shwaggydogg, I had to delete that previous post because it contained a commercial link which aren't allowed. I was happy to delete it as the link contained crap.

First of all, let's correct your misinformatuion about EMIT or immunoassay testing, when conducted by a lab, it is not hit or miss but nearly as accurate as GC/MS, well over 99%. It is not hit or miss.

Niacin will not affect your test negatively buit it may affect your body negatively. Flushing and liver damage are possible with high doses.

Strip, should have saved your money and bought a bottle of Metamucil.

With 13 days clean and only using 1-2 times a week, you stand an excellent chance of passing.

[ShwaggyDoo]

Thanks for the quick reply FBR. I really respect your replies and information at this board, very maturely done and professional.

However, I just want to clear up one last thing:

As I said, I bought the Strip detox WOM (waste of money), however, I do have the receipt still and it hasnt been opened, so I can return it to GNC.

So, do you think that adding Strip to the already stickied dilution method (as long as I try not to over-dilute), is not worth the 50 dollars? It won't help enough to make a difference? At the very LEAST, it won't NEGATIVELY affect my possible outcomes on the EMIT test?

My worst fear is not drinking it, returning it for the 50, and getting a positive result back, only to think "what if i just wasnt cheap and drank it, I'd be making 15k more a year now".

[FakeBoobsRule]

Me, I like getting what I pay for. I hate the idea of paying for something that doesn't work or in this case, what doesn't work on a consistent basis. If it was me I would return it and buy the Metamucil instead and take the equivalent of 15 grams of fiber and a multivitamin and you now have a bottle of strip for only $10-15. But it is your choice not mine.

[ShwaggyDoo]

Thanks again, looking at the ingredients on the bottle, I think you are right (of course you are).

Now, I can take the test as late as 230 or 3pm. Assuming I wake up at 9am to go and return the Strip NC and get a dietary Fiber supplement and a multivitamin, when should I take those during the dilution/aspirin/bvitamin process?

Also, this is a weird question, but one I have not really run into.

Does masturbating the night before or during the dilution process have ANY effect, negative or positive on the consequential test results?
