Doing Home Tests - Does brand matter?

[InvadedPrivacy]

Hi Forum!

First off, this is a GREAT FORUM! Thank you to FakeBoobsRule & crew for helping people out & doing your best to give accurate information.

I'll be a continuing poster, as I have a situation where I'll probably be tested in about 60 days. I'm thinking it's a hair test..I've already quit smoking, but I wont ask specific questions on my situation until I know more.

OK - Now, for doing urine tests at home..I went to my local Rite Aid & they sell two different brands of drug test..I believe one is 'At Home' & the other is 'First Check'. They're both pretty expensive..like $19.99 for a one time use.

But on Ebay you see those strips that are kind of 'no name', with numerous strips selling for under $10.

I also saw the brand QTest on ebay going for pretty cheap.

Any thoughts for a home tester?

Thanks!!

I buy on ebay and have for years. They have never failed me and the price is right. You just have to ask the expiration date before you buy.

Ok, thanks Jeff!

BTW, most people are just getting the strips that you 'dip', correct?

I see the cups seem to be more expensive..

Thanks again.

Yes, regular dip strips

I have used both retail kits and bought on line. They both work. I am familiar with At Home and the extra you get with it is that you can send in your sample and they will run a gc/ms on it and you will get an exact amount of thc metabolites in your urine in ng/ml. The catch is you have to fail the test, if you are under 50 ng/ml then they will just report that you are negative for thc.

Gotcha, good to know. I'm going to go the ebay route.

Thanks!
