0.2 µm too slow! Anyone safely use 0.45 µm?

That's good to know man, It's crazy all the things you learn that you never had any idea about... I was an iv drug user for many years until I got sober, It's crazy to look back and think of the crazy shit we did, just throw any thing you can get your hands on a spoon, mix it with some water, soda, f****** anything you could find in a bottle on the floor of the car to make it wet, suck that s*** up with a cigarette filter and slam it. Crystal meth that s***'s so f****** corrosive, It feels like acid burning in your arm when you shoot it, never had any worries or cares in the world, when you're older you look back and think and that was f****** crazy, how the hell am I still alive.

I hear you. Some of the damage I subjected myself to from things I wasn't aware of until recent years makes me cringe, but all you can do is move forward with the best info you've got to work with,

It blew my mind to see videos of hardcore drug users using harm reduction practices that are, in some ways, ahead of what's standard for AAS users,

The technical term for that entire group is now "People who use injectable drugs". It was an eye opener when I realized that included us, AAS users, and even the soccer moms using UGL peptides, because we're all exposed to the risks of injecting unregulated shit from sketchy sources.

So I'm filtering now, and I poured 100mL
in the Zapcap. Worked at first, but then after 5 min... slowed way down. Even went up to 15inHg. Slow flow.

I think you have to pour a little in at a time.
Using the same filter, but only 25mL full, and flow is constant.
I believe that more fluid in the Zapcap may add weight from oil on top of paper and press paper down and slow flow.

Last 3 brews I have had this issue.
In the past I was afraid to pour more than 30ml because what if it falls over or some other accident. No issue with flow.

Once I started saying Eff it, and pour in more oil, like 75ml, I ran into the issues.(last 2 brews) I used multiple filters because I thought the filters were junk.

Right now, even room temperature oil flows constant Drip at 8inHg, with smaller quantity of oil in reservoir.

Anyone have this issue?

I know some people will tell you 0.4 is faster and still safe but don't risk your health on quickness. Be ok with your stuff being slow till you figure out a better way. The risk on taking that chance on a few hours saved just isn't worth it. Always filter through a final 0.22micro filter. If you need get a pre filter. Filter the gear through that. Then filter to the micron. If the gear is slow filtering and clogging its likely not pure raws. Have you tested it? I have had a batch of tren ace filter and clog almost all my 0.22 micron filters and another raw stash go out smooth and perfect.


Consider grabbing a glass beaker filter vacuum setup get some pre filters and filter it all through that. Then pour it into the disposable ones you have. That should make. Things work better and "faster"
