But PLEASE reply if you've heard of cleartest failures!

I tried to register this morning for advice about whether I should just dilute or sub but I just got validated and the deed is done. I haven't smoked for exactly 2 weeks but I popped this morning on a dollar tree thc test despite moderate dilution (water and papain/multi/b-complex only) so I went with the subbing.

My story: 34 year old female, smoked at least 3 times/day via bong (aka. Big Red) for 10+ years. I knew the pre-employment test was coming but I thought it wasn't until mid-July so I only have 2 clean weeks under my belt.

Fast forward to the testing facility. I checked the temp on my cleartest vial in the parking lot and it was reading over 100 so I pulled the heating pad off and stuck it under my left boob- mistake 1. I was nervous as hell and didn't know what testing conditions would be so I drank a shit ton of water just in case- mistake 2. After waiting and waiting increasingly uncomfortable and doing the pee pee dance, I had no choice but to ask if I would be called back soon because I was dying. He tells me it will be another 10mins. I have no choice but to go. I checked the temp while I was in there and panicked when I saw that it was down to 92/94. Now that I peed and was going to have to wait until a reasonable amount of time passed for show, I was terrified my temp would get too low. I took drastic measures and inserted the vial, condom-less, into areas I didn't want that vial to have to go! Luckily when the time finally came and I was able to take the wretched thing out, their cup registered at 96ish.

She packaged it up, I signed and initialed and that was it. Even though I've read many of you say that if it gets packaged and signed for you're fine, I am absolutely freaking out. It is a non-Nida non-DOT 10 panel. I'm in IL. Is there any chance they can determine that it's a sub? I PROMISE I will not just be one of the posters that doesn't update. I should know Wednesday night and even though its out of my hands, I would really really appreciate opinions or stories of successes/failures.

I go in an hour and a half for my results!

I'm drinking that strip NC from GNC that I had bought (and now can't return) before I read so much about how it's a scam in the unlikely case they tell me they know my sample was a synthetic and make me pee in a cup right then. This doesn't happen, though, does it? I would have gotten a call if I failed right? This shit is absolutely disgusting.

I swear, I'm more paranoid these past few weeks than I am when I'm smoking.

This doesn't happen, though, does it? If a urine sample is ruled "not consistent with human urine", it is considered a "refusal to test" under DHHS regulations. That means a retest is not an option.

However, if an employer had somehow taken a liking to you for one reason or another, s/he may opt to have you take another test using a different facility (non-DOT situations only).

So how did it turn out? Why was it a mistake to put it under your boob? Because the temp dropped too low? I am hopefully subbing today and hope I can come back with a positive experience!
