i make a lot of stimpack c's. does experimenting on the biological effect controller, chem release, and liquid suspension help any in the charges and effectiveness of the stimpack c?

i always experiment on effectiveness only for those 3 subcomponents. is there anything else i should be experimenting on?

Yes, it does. The Biological Effect Controller (BEC) mainly effects the charges. So I would experiment on the charges for the BEC. My BECs normally come out to 7 Charges 3 Power if I experiment on them properly. Depending on what I am making, I can get a very good pack. For -Bs, I will get 24 uses without experimenting on it.

As for the others, I experiment on the Experimental Effectiveness. The higher they are, the better the woundpacks are. I could make Woundpack -Bs of up to base heal 83. I haven't tried now but I just hit a new level of Doc Med Crafting. Unless you have amazing materials, I doubt you will get as good as me with normal components. But experiment on the sub components and then on the end product. You'll get a better product in the end.

So here's what you should experiment on for what compononent:

BEC: Experiment on Experimental Charges and if you have points left, experiment on Experimental Effectiveness, but always go for charges first.

CRDM: Experiment on Experimental Effectiveness. NEVER EXPERIMENT ON DURABILITY. The reason for this is that Meds just don't decay so there is no reason for even having them.

LS: Experiment on ONLY Experimental Effectiveness.

SDS: Experiment ONLY on Experimental Effectiveness.

BEC = Biological Effect Controller

CRDM = Chemical Release Duration Mechanism

LS = Liquid Suspension

SDS = Solid Delivery Shell

When I was at your level, I found it was only worth my time to experiment on the LS for stimpacks. I experimented on all three for woundpacks. Experimenting on the CRD and BEC for stims resulted in just 2-3 more charges and +10 healing on the best results, once you take into account the failure rate it just wasn't worth my time. At higher levels when you have 6+ experiment points or when you are experimenting on the Advanced components, that is a whole different ballgame.
