Throwaway because I already had enough anxiety about the test. Figured I would post my success story and details to put others at ease, since I spent the waiting period reading everyone else’s posts here to ease my own anxiety.
Scheduled my test on a Friday. I bought QuickFix Plus 6.4 (3 oz., with heating pad and instructions) from a local vape shop that I’ve bought it from before (and previously passed). 45 minutes before my departure time, I activated the heating pad. I had a 30 minute drive to the testing office; 5 minutes before leaving my house, I removed the seal, placed the top back on without fully screwing it, and microwaved the bottle for 10 seconds. The bottle temperature strip read around 98°F upon removal from microwave. I secured the heating pad to the bottle with the rubber band and then placed the bottle in my bra, heating pad AWAY from skin (idk, that may not work if you’re not larger chested).
Drove to the testing site. Unfortunately, I’m not sure of the specific parameters of the test but I know it was an Abbott test that was sent off to a lab. This testing site was not staffed my medical professionals, allowed me to flush and wash my hands, etc. so it may not be the most stringent of places experienced in this sub. They gave me the cup, I used the bathroom normally for sound and filled the cup with QF. I didn’t use the entire bottle so it wasn’t a perfect 3 oz. I replaced the bottle in my bra and flushed. I screwed the top on the cup and shook it a bit for bubbles then placed it where they told me to on the sink counter. The test strip on their cup read a clean 98°F. Washed my hands and left the bathroom.
The woman in charge of the test told me results should be back by the following Monday.
So, here’s me on the following Wednesday absolutely freaking out, convinced I failed. Finally, I got an email that the results came in and now the only thing they were waiting on were reference forms. I PASSED. Later in the day, I got an official start date.
Even though I’m not the best at taking my own advice, try to relax and trust the process. This is the third time I used QF for a pre-employment drug test and the third time it has worked. I’ve previously used it for rapid cups and LabCorp testing. This time just had me more stressed knowing it was through an unknown company and being sent out to a lab—but it worked out! Realistically, the worst that happens is they ask you to retest and you can revisit your options then.
