Another UA Story

Here's my deal: I'm a white male in my mid 30s who has been a daily smoker for about 10+ years now. I'm 5'10" about 200 lbs who hasn't been working out a lot lately. You know the rest of the story, got a job interview and an offer contingent upon a UA.

Looks like the test will be some time this week (it's Tuesday now but I'm hoping I can push it back to next week) and I smoked as recently as Sunday. I did a joint-a-thon last Friday from which I'm still feeling a little high.

I figured that going with dilution or some similar method is probably pointless since I've smoked so recently and have been a chronic smoker for a number of years. So I purchased some Quick Fix 5.7.

Of course, I'm nervous as hell. Mostly about getting the temperature right. How difficult is it to calibrate the temperature on these things and keep it (mostly) constant?

Can I get some advice from people who have used QF in the past? Thanks!

It's pretty simple if you use your body as a heat source. Crouching it or strapping it to the inside of your thigh(where i put it) will keep your temp at 96-98 degrees. Just warm the QF for 10 seconds in the microwave, attach the hand warmer to one side and stick the other side right up to your skin.

You may want to purchase a baby thermometer to monitor temperature. It's just a little more accurate than the one attached to the bottle. Just practice heating and crouching it. You can reheat the QF as many times as you like.

Thanks for the advice!

It looks like I won't have to take the UA until next week some time. This gives me a few more days to exercise (ie. sweat a lot) and try to purify my system. I'm going to buy a home test over the weekend and see if I can pass that. If so, I'll just use my own urine when I take the test. Otherwise I'm going to take my chances with the Quick Fix.

I've read conflicting things about Quest Diagnostics and other places testing if the urine is synthetic or not, so I'd like to use the QF as a last resort.

The only state we've been hearing this from is Oregon. Labs there are not following protocol. If your anywhere else you should be fine.

My screen isn't until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. At which point it will have been 8 or 9 days without smoking.

If I take a home test over the weekend and pass it, is there any chance of still failing the lab test?

i just wanted to add that I am going for a UA tuesday and i am using quick fix 5.7.
its a rapid test.
im not worried.

i am curious if you pass your UA using quick fix.
I will let you know if i do.

It's a little frustrating because since I found out that I had to take a test I've been abstaining and all I've wanted to do is smoke! Part of me is tempted to say "f' it", smoke and just use the QF. But I'm worried and would rather use the real stuff if I can.

Please let me know how you do on your screen and good luck!

thanks alot!
i am just relying on the quick fix. screw abstaining.

i was suppose to arrive today, but it hasnt :(

I ordered mine overnight delivery on 6pm Tuesday (or Wednesday, I can't remember) and it was here by noon the next day.

ugu,

You will fail the home test most likely, everyone is different but you are looking at 14-21 days probably before you pee clean. Possibly longer since you have been a chronic. I know one guy who still failed after 30 days of no smoke with similar stats to yours.

My ex-wife managed to piss clean after 6 days of abstaining and she was as much a chronic smoker as I am.

I'm going to get the home test tomorrow and see how I do. If I do fail it, I'm going to use the QF when I take the real test.

But again I wonder: if I do pass the home test, is there any chance I could still fail the real test?

Nope, home test kits are extremely accurate and if you can pass one then you should have no problem passing the lab test.

When taking the home test, be sure to use the first urination of the day (when THCA concentrations would be at their highest) .

If you pass the home test with the first urination of the day, then you'll pass the scheduled U/A at any time of the day.

Makes perfect sense!

I'll be taking the real test Wednesday, so I'll test myself Tuesday morning (or possibly Wednesday morning depending on what time my real test is).

This abstaining crap sucks! The real kicker is that I have about 1/2 oz of really good stuff just sitting and slowly drying while I abstain! It's not that difficult abstaining when I don't have any but when I have a lot of really good stuff it's practically torture!

I took two home tests. One when I woke in the middle of the night around 3.30am and had to piss and then another around 9am when I woke up for the day and had to piss.

Both tests came back negative! :pimp:

The only thing that worries me is the faintness of the "negative" line on the home test. I'm fairly certain that if I can pass this home test with my dirtiest pee of the day that I can pass a lab test with somewhat diluted normal pee of the day.

Below is a picture of the second test, let me know what you guys think!

The kits I have used had instructions that said even a faint line is NEG.

Thats good news for you.:thumbsup:

Yep, a faint line is still a line. Its a negative.

Yup! I'm so relieved! Now if Wednesday would just get here sooner so I can smoke again! This has been the longest 8 days of my life!!!

Not sure I understand the policy regarding the mention of legal narcotics but I apologize to the mods who in turn deleted my post. :-/

Anyway, I took my UA yesterday and I believe it will be ok. They didn't even ask me to empty my pockets which will be good to know in case I ever get randomly tested in future!

I've also got this unused bottle of QF which I'll probably keep hidden at my new job as a precaution.
