Guys I should have my first batch of cb coming in the next week from Kane. Now I understand the ethanol/pg vehicle but it's hard to get the ethanol in my country! So im thinking a high % vodka (40proof) / pg mix? What's your thoughts on that? Love to hear from anyone who has any success or general improvement with cb I no it's bloody expensive!
Cb 03 01 First Time Use / Suitable Vehicle Substitutes?
- Thread starter Trying2
- Start date
yes, approx 15% in 1 month. 0% in 2 weeks.
Live in Australia finding it hard to obtain! Ok that sounds alright then. Making a weekly or fortnightly batch might be the key then. Have you used cb swoop?

For a short while yes.
Did you have any positive results? I'm not looking for a miracle but would be nice to maintain!
So I received my cb just 1gram to start. I've got a bottle of PG and some 40% vodka (I no, should be ethanol) but I'll start with this in the next few days. Making up 50ml
With 500mg cb first batch should see me out for 25 days if I use 1x daily and at 20mg per use! Does anyone no if adding some distilled water to dilute a bit would do any harm? I'll be keeping results posted

I don't think CB is a 5ar inhibitor so it must act through a different mechanism. Taking CB as a topical version of Finasteride wouldn't make sense.
But I do agree that the trials should be accelerated. Specially considering an AA without sides should've been released a decade ago.

what are the trailed dosages meant to be at?
how much at 20mg per day is costing you man?
cheers
I think it started at 1% and they have tried 5% (quote me if I'm wrong tho)
Just did some quick maths around $5 a day for my % just hope this vehicle has worked, the floating powder worries me plus the vodka
no, cb dissolves very easily and quickly into any vehicle with some alcohol
So it's only been a week on cb 03 01 and I have to say my hair feels a lot better so far! Hair has more life and deffintly feels thicker through my hands. Shedding is a little less as well(don't usually shed to bad tho) I feel like this shouldn't be happening so soon but I'm stoked!
Now side effects - might be just my head playing tricks on me but I do feel a little short of breath almost like Butterflies through the lungs/chest every now again. The more I think about it the worse it is - that might be the problem. Heart issues deffintly scare me so I might start from today applying 1ml instead of 2ml. Also darker rings around my eyes kinda puffy eylids some days. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this

beware your mind... if it makes you feel improvements in just 1 week, it means it can play any sort of trick. my 2 cents.
Yeah I agree with hilbert. I have also used CB and there is no way you are experiencing a significant change at one week, good or bad. You are understandably anxious about the new treatment and thinking too hard about what may or may not be related. No need to stress out, just relax and enjoy the maintenance that you will get in a few months. CB works, and I didn't get sides. I didn't see any regrowth, just maintenance, and my hair loss is not as aggressive as it used to be so I stopped. But if I start shedding again, it will be my front-line response until Polichem.

I think your hair feels thicker because you are applying a coating of the new lotion on it. It happens to me with salt - based lotions.
Hair that is in telogen phase won't go back to anagen thanks to any medication.
You need weeks to assess any result. Best of luck anyways!
