Hello,
i started CM a week or so ago, did 4404 in 11 hours ( straight
) and then a day or so on and off playing to do the crafting exp part of it (had to do normal biological effect controllers because i couldnt find the resouces for advanced
)
i have been having a hard time trying to find Good stocked vendors on flurry, mostly they seem pretty low garde and i am still looking for some reasobaly high effectiveness PvP poisons but now i have seen the vendor listing i will definitely try and check those out 
my question is , i seem to have been ahvving random tick times (not on the same meds) one posion i had (dont remember stats) would tick once a second for about 40 damage (was around 160 eff maybe) that was pretty conduing because i heard it was supposed to tick at 8 seconds, i tried another then and tried timing it and it was ticking the right amount of damage but every 12 seconds
now i hear from these forums that its supposed to tick at a 10 second rate. can somone confirm this for me because i am a little confused, is there anything that effects the tick rate because it sounds like there shouldnt be.

Poisons have a 10 second timer (-ish). Diseases have a 40-second timer. However, in combat, watching poisons can get confusing. They could have several poisons on them, stacked at different times, or you could be watching several damage types. The best way to see the timing is to get a willing volunteer, poison him with a single poison, and watch it.

Regarding poison stacking. A single and area of each level can be stacked on each pool. A total of 18 poisons can be placed on any one target.
Focus affects special use for the mind pool. Willpower is regeneration.

Poisons have a 10 second tick. Diseases have a 40 second tick. If you're the target of a single poison or disease, it's easy to time this and see that this is true.
One place where it gets confusing is with the initial tick. With the initial tick, you may get the "you have been poisoned" message and have the tick hit 7 or 8 seconds later. When this happens, it is due to lag. The tick starts when the server registers a "hit", but your client may not get notified immediately due to lag. After this initial tick, it appears that your client takes over control of the timer as it will be consistently 10 second ticks, regardless of lag.
Another place where it can appear that ticks are faster is when poisons are stacked. If you get hit with two or more poisons, each poison will be on it's own 10 second timer. So if you get hit with a Area Mind C poison and 4 seconds later with a Single Mind C, they will tick separately, offset by 4 seconds. As a result, it will appear like you are getting hit every 5 seconds (more or less). You more or less are, but it's different poisons, which you can see if you pay attention to the floatie number above your head on each tick.

About CM meds on Flurry.......
See if Zalmun is still in the biz in Corriban. I haven't talked with him in a loooonnng time but he always sold pretty good stuff.
There was a CM vendor in Mos Krayta, tat. Stats were so-so (probably a new crafter), I didn't check the prices (130ish pot 295 effectiveness single poisons)
Your best bet........ Marrow picked up CM a few weeks ago...see if he is selling CM meds (he may not sell to imps, dunno). He is an excellent Doc med crafter and rumor has it that a former CM corr dropped some old CM resources on him to play around with in exchange for making him 55MU fire blankets and ABEC schematics.........
Edit: Saw the guild tag, ignore the imp thing. Also try contacting Jhibb or Kolfa and see if Kolfa has any CM meds for sale. Thell them Pip still has a bottle of their wedding champagne

If your a reb on flurry just send me your wish list. I dont sell CM stuff on my vendor to the open public... (I'd rather not have to heal what I make, if ya know what I mean).
And thanks to Pip I have a good stash of resouces
.
I basically sell at my resouce cost since I make my cash off selling buffs. I just make CM stuff for fun for friends.
I have a very poor memory so please send an in game email. Things to tell me.
1. What med use can you use.
2. Poison or disease or stim
3. area or single
4. How many do you want. My limit is 50 per type per person.
5. If you want me to use venom then you will need to provide it.
6.I max out eff then use the rest of my points on pot unless you ask me to do otherwise.
I do not quote prices or stats.
