Six Applications of Polyformic Acid

[Bubblewin]

As you probably know, the a full vial of Polyformic Acid from Stratholme has 3 charges and is unique. You were not intended to leave Stratholme with more than 3 charges; this exploit allows you to leave with 6.

Because of how the flask works and each stage of the flask having a different item ID, you can bypass the unique requirement and have 3 flasks (with a total charge count of 6) by following these steps:

1. Kill Professor Slate in normal Stratholme (5th boss)
2. Loot the Empty Vial of Polyformic Acid
3. Fill the vial by right-clicking the vial on the table next to the boss
4. Use the vial in your bags, transforming you into Professor Slate
5. Right-click your now-empty vial to fill it up, giving you a Half-Full Vial
6. Repeat steps 4 & 5, this will yield a Nearly-Empty Vial (Charge count: 1)
7. Reset the instance and repeat steps 1-5, this wield yield a Half-Full Vial in addition to your Nearly-Empty Vial (Charge count: 3)
8. Reset the instance and repeat steps 1-3, this wield yield a Nearly-Full Vial in addition to the previous two (Charge count: 6)

If you followed the steps correctly, you will now have 3 different vials (Nearly-Empty, Half-Full, and Nearly-Full) in your bags. This will reduce the amount of times you have to re-visit Stratholme for the flask by 50% as you can now leave with twice as many charges.

Have fun!

Anyone can confirm this? And techinaclly, your screenshot isn't proof, for the model of the look is on other flasks.
