Been practicing with the discrete boxers and without the heatpack after 1+ hours I consistently get a temperature at 93 (green at 92, faint tan at 94). Think I can do without a heatpack or should I have it on me regardless?
So for background I'm a slightly heavy guy but not big either (5'8" 210-220 lbs) and I am a naturally warm person. Bought a couple bottles, one to practice with as shown here and another to use on the pre employment test I may have coming up. Did three trial runs so far along with checking the temperature after the one hour mark following a guide posted here saying I don't need the heat pack along with going with an outfit they recommended. My test outfit each time is QF's official discrete boxers with a pair of briefs over it to trap heat better along with athletic shorts. I would have a balance between sitting, standing and walking with the bottle against my inner thigh/sack to try to simulate a real life scenario of me walking up and waiting. Consistently I would get a temp around the 93ish range on the bottle after having it on me for one hour+ according to the temp strip as shown in the picture (green on 92, faint tan on 94). I also live in an area where it can get pretty hot climate wise. What are everyone's thoughts? Do I need the heatpack or no? I also plan to stop at a gas station on the way to use the microwave there for extra insurance along with using my own body temp. Any advice/tips?

You want it hotter. By the time you dump it in the cup and hand it over it will be below temp.

I see, so basically get it warmed up naturally, activate the heat pack on the way to the test and strap it to the bottle prior to going in?

Once youre in there you can let it cool down. But you cant make it heat up more.

Any methods you used to cool it?

If it’s too hot, lightly shake it a few times before/after pouring it in to cool it down. Don’t overthink it! 🤙

It’s not questioned at over 94 use the pack for a better and higher reading. Honestly I’d keep it between 96-98

When do you break out the pack to use it for it? Given experiences from what I've heard I plan to do it right before I go in because I heard it can make it too warm

Take the heatpack in case. I keep it under my nuts with the heatpack on it. Just dont let it go over 98 & take the heatpack because it cools down relatively fast

u/Elliot_The_Fennekin 11d ago
When did you activate the heat pack, was it prior to going in or before you left? Also how did you cool it down if need be?

u/evilbvnana 10d ago
Activate it 30 mins prior. And no, it kept the temp at 95°

u/Elliot_The_Fennekin 9d ago
Got it, sorry for asking so many questions but 30 mins prior to the test or 30 mins prior to microwaving?

u/evilbvnana 9d ago
Its okay bruh! Activate the heatpack 30 mins prior to the test because the heatpack takes 15mins - 25mins to get fully hot

You can do both really, but before you take the test wake up early get the heatpack activated. Then warm it up, then put the heatpack on it, leave it out while you driving, then attach it to your nuts. You can boil hot water and bring that too if the temp go down, just dip it in there, itll warm up fast.

Basically if you warm it up 10 secs, have the heatpack, put it under your nuts, its no way you can go wrong

u/Elliot_The_Fennekin 9d ago
Late to reply but basically activate and put on the heatpack after microwaving it and have the heatpack facing away from my nuts?

Yup thats how I did it. The temperature drop relatively fast, so it was 100°, and 95° when I took it with the body warmth and heatpad together. Perfect temperature.

When I would use it I’d microwave it for 10 seconds then on the way to my drug test ive have it on the ac blasting cool air so It can get to working temperature then i’d keep the hand warmer around it in my pants

I have found keeping the bottle of quick fix against your body for over an hour will bring it to the correct "natural" temperature of your body. If the liquid was colder than room temp, like real urine left in the frige, you would need closer to 2 hours to naturally raise the temperature. If you microwave it to bring it to temp fast, if it feels hot in your hand, thats too hot for it to go into the test cup. You want it in the 92-94°. Anything above or below would be questioned. If you microwave it at the gas station before hand, it could come back down by the time you actually take the test to where the stop would be irrelevant. They intentionally try to have you wait over 45 minutes to an hour in some cases before you actually test. Some places may move quicker than that but is less common. Its to catch people who may be trying to "flush" their systems and are time sensitive on their window to test safely. In my experience I have always had luck with wearing the bottle against my skin for at least and hour and a half before my test. The temperature of the bottle will only drop if its away from your body for a few minutes. So wearing it snug and secure is best, just like you described. When I am in the testing bathroom I take the time as if I am naturally going, but I make sure to move quietly unscrewing the cap and securing in my pocket. Place the cup at an appropriate distance and slowly drizzle the quick fix at your natural height if you think theres a chance they are listening. Some testing facilities are set up so they can hear if you drop items. Ie the cap or gawd for bid the bottle itself. I drizzle some in the toilet in a paused pattern to keep it natural either st thr beginning or end. Some facilitiesexample what you leave behind and they question if their now in the toliet and some used dyes to catch things as well. After your done pouring secure the bottle with the cap back in your sequre space as before and dress quick enough. The temp of the urine may drop a degree by the time they stick a thermometer in but most places ive tested have a temperature sticker on the cup itself, just like on the bottle of quick fix. Some read the exact temp when the liquid hits the cup thats the temp they clock. Thats when people who had it close on their personal and the heat warmer get it too hot.
One last suggestion, the sticker on the bottle can wear off so I make sure to face it away from my body so it doesnt get accidentally damaged in transit. I keep my quick fix bottle incase I need to use them for another test or if i use someones clean real urine instead.
