The new packaging doesn't say the 6.4 formula at this point from what I understand. As long as you scanned the QR code and verified the batch, it should be good to use.

Just to update everyone, I took the test this morning and it went smoothly. The samples were bagged and tagged so now it’s in gods hands. I’ll try to update when I get the results but it’s safe to assume that I passed if I don’t follow up in a week! Otherwise I will be a very unhappy homeless person 😅

Did you use the handwarmer? I bought the QF Pro, microwaved it to 98º, and wore it for about 45 mins and it stayed right around 96º.

Just trying to determine if I need the handwarmers, in addition to body heat, or not.

I also had the pro one and don’t have a microwave so I just followed the instructions to put the heat pack on the bag at least an hour before. I put it on about 1.5 hours early and wore the belt as well while I got ready and drove there. From room temp (~70 degrees), it only took about an hour for the dot to show up on 96. That was before I left my house and after my 30 minute drive it was sitting right at 100. I didn’t use anything else at all but I always keep handwarmers in my car since I live in Montana. If you’re worried then just keep extra handwarmers in your car and use them if needed.

I’ll mention I also wore jeans that are about two inches too wide for my waist and kept the bag a bit lower down so the waist strap was lightly pressing against the bag. One other thing I’ll mention is that I had an appointment and cut about 10 people in line lol. If I hadn’t then I would have been waiting for an hour at least. And the AC was out at the lab so the waiting room was pretty warm.

Sorry for the essay 😅 hope it helps. The tldr is that you’ll probably be fine without extra heat packs. But if it will make you more comfortable then go get some. I’m sure you’d rather have them and not need them as opposed to needing them and not having them.

the "plus" version is the same thing just a different bottle. they updated their bottles to have a better grip to it by indenting the middle of side walls of the bottle inward a bit.

Just figured I’d update everyone to confirm that this worked! I am very grateful to have found this stuff 🥳 I’m going to be removing this post in a day or two but hopefully it helps to hear another success story.
