AFR Liquid vs Powder?

[Johnd651]

Just wondering if they are truly the same?

They are the same

One is powder and one liquid so not quite the same. I started with liquid and switched to powder. Powder mixed following the instructions I did not have to adjust my dosage amount.

Yes.

Only thing different is price. Liquid is more expensive

You are going to want a magnetic stirring plate for the powder form, they cost around $20. The plate pays for itself. The heated stirrers are pricier but will save you some time in mixing if you are using cold RODI water.

What i do is mix it up a week before I need it and just give it a shake once a day when I go bye. By the time the week is up it's all mixxed.

This was a game changer for me. I thought these were expensive so I never looked into them. Someone on r2r posted one from Amazon and I went and purchased it. I will never be without one again.

Same as above. Followed instructions and didn't have to change my dosing from the liquid version. I buy the larger powder tub.
