The guys from ******** groupbuys claim seti undissolves in eth/pg. ClearVision claimed the same about the seti he synthesized. However, Kane's seti dissolves well in eth/pg. He claims his seti is salted. At least two users claimed success on Kane's seti as I remembered, one of which being
@alebaba in this thread. So, the info is mixed and I suggest you try both and judge for yourself.
To add a question: can you mix seti with minoxidil (whose solvent is basically eth/pg with a bit water)? Is there any drug interaction? Did anyone tried that with OK results?
thanks for the info WMQ ... so last night i made my first attempts ... some observations for anyone interested:
1) mine must not be the salted kind... the first batch 1 tried i used 100 ml of solution the was 70/30 eth/pg ... the stuff didn't mix well... it clumped and wouldn't mix
2) the second batch the i mixed with the eth+DMI+polysorbate80+DMSO vehicle and it did dissolve a lot better
3) i can see why some people using the eth+DMI+polysorbate80+DMSO would use it at night before bed: my hair was wet/oily... when i woke up my hair was still bit oily... i sure this is great for absorption, which is awesome, but i wouldn't want to go to work that way.. might be a different story for a norwood 5+... i am at norwood 2 or 3 and the hair i did have would be too oily to apply in the AM
4) the glass stirring rod from my first failed batch: it had the muddy undissolved seti on it and it did not want to rinse off... so i left it in water overnight... when i woke up the stirring rod was clean and the water had turned light yellow
5) inspired by the stirring rod, it tried a new 70/30 eth/pg batch... I stirred it for 20 mins, and it finally dissolved... not sure if it will undisolve but i am going to keep an eye on it
6) i imagine if you put the ingredients for a 70/30 eth/pg mix in a dropper bottle and shook the sh*t out of it, it would dissolve in just a few minutes...
7) Seti has a distinct smell when mixed... its not a bad smell per se, but it is distinct...the stuff has a light mustard-ish tint to it
8) the Seti powder is light and clingy, has some clumps, and likes to hop around a bit when you are measuring it... so for those mixing for the first time, you might waste a tiny bit of it as it flys off the scale, sticks to spoon, etc. but its manageable
but with all that said, yeah WMQ, i wonder how it would mix with minoxidil?... i'll try that experiment soon... i am guessing with the shaking method it will mix pretty good... we'll see if it undissolves over time.. but my other question would be this: would we need to worry about Seti and minoxidil having any kind of reaction that would degrade either? consolidating the two, for people like me trying various modified kitchen sink approaches, would be friggin awesome in terms of reducing the number of topical applications needed in a given day... any of the chemist type out there, do you think we need to worry about any type of minoxidil + Seti reaction if working them into the same topical?
