 Everyone has got to try capping thier own. For the price you just can't beat it. I can't believe how easy it is. The cap em quick is so easy to use and the price comes down quite a bit. For anyone looking to save money this is the route to go. It is clean and easy. Just capped 200 capsules of piracetam in about 15-17 minutes. Piracetam sells on the internet 30$ for 30 tables at 800 mg. I purchased the powder from 1fast for 20$ (I think) plus 8 for the capping machine and 8 for 700 gel caps. I will get 700 gel caps with 1000 mg in each for 40$. DTR

Yes. A Cap-m-quick is a small tray with 50 sockets. You remove the tops off of 50 capsules (00 is most common) and place them in the holes. It lines up so that you dump the material onto the tray and use a card to smooth the material, which falls into the open capsules.
The tamper then allows you to pack the material down, and add more.
When no more fits (or your desired dosage is in), you rotate these spacers which drops the tray down slightly, allowing you to replace the tops onto the capsules.
Voila - 50 capsules done. Once you get the hang of it, you can probably do 50 caps in about 10 minutes.

 I was planning on making some 1-AD capsules, and would like to make each cap about 100mg or so to take throughout the day. What size cap should be used? Thanks, Brian

 Brian - I had the same intention too when I ordered my 1-ad pwder. If you don't have a food scale though its going to be really tough to measure out 1/16th of a tspn or whatever the 100mg equivalent would be. I ended up adding an equal amount to every cap I made then divided the total grams by the number of caps I made. With the 00 caps, I came out with 306mgs give or take, per cap. 3 a day of these and I'm set. I would definitely recommend it, I saved @ 60% less money than I would have if I have bought a months worth of Ergopharm's at 900mgs a day...

 I was thinking about capping 6-OXO powder myself. I was thinking of making some caps with 600 mgs of powder, and some with 400mg, some with 300mg and some with 100 mg (so I would only have to take 1 cap a day while I taper down each week while PCT). What size gel caps and cap em quick machine should I get? Also, with the Cap Em Quick, how do you know if some caps are getting more than the desired amount of powder and some less. I mean by putting 50 gelcaps in the try and putting 5gms of 6-OXO powder into the try, and you want to make 100mg caps, is it difficult to make sure that each cap actually gets 100mg and not some with more and some with less than the 100mg? thanks
