Don't ask anything about the drug test.
For ruture reference when the temp is too low in the collection cup, take your thumb and rub it against your clothes for a few seconds and then hold it against the temp strip on the collection cup. When it says 98 hand it to the tech.
Umm...I may have to disagree...and sorry as a first time poster..to do so. I did a test this morning...tried the sub...thought I had the temp right...but turned out it was actually too low. Weird but I felt that it might be when i was in the testing room so i tried to hold the strip...also tried the friction thing. That strip didn't move. It stayed black as night, not registering a good temp. AAArrg. So, don't depend on the friction thing due to time and possibly they did something to the strip to make it so external heat sources dont work...i don't know...just theorizing. The test was with Quest. Now the good side to this story...they will let me retest...they really want me to work bad..and of course i do too. It really sucks that all i do is smoke a little weed. I"m a damn network engineer...couldn't do that being on anything else but weed..lol. These laws against natural pain cures is BS. Yea, I'm preaching and bitching to the choir. Anyway, they're giving me a second chance today...so, heading to the smoke shop to get the synth kit. This way, I have a heating source...a good temp strip..(not thermometer like my dumb as was using...lol) and I also have a sub. That way if this shit doesn't work again, I can stay...keep my extra sample at body temp between my legs..and try again. Should have been my way from jump...like with everything...always have backup. I'll continue tonight to let you guys know if my dumb ass can get this temp right. Thanks for this board and everyone on it, thanks for you help.

I used testclear powdered urine, I am a heavy smoker and there was no way I would have been clean in time. I practiced several times before going. The temp seemed to get too high, so I decided to take the heaters off right before I went in and just crotch it. Two things happened that make me worry.... 1) Right before I went in, when I tested the temp in the car, the digital thermometer got a couple of fleck of something (dirt? not sure) in the Rating: 5
