Also thanks @Ghoul for your advocacy and evidence based reasoning here. I never would have considered purchasing these without randomly coming across your insights here.

guys for who's shooting different compounds all in one syringe and wants an alternative there are filtered needles too, they work well, the only drawback if you want is that they don't vent the vials so the air that you will have to vent is not filtered. They do have a 5um filter (same as the spike) and it makes drawing different compounds inside same syringe a lot easier and it's faster and no cracking of spike etc and cheaper in general.

So if for you it's not a big deal the injecting non sterile air and wants a cheaper alternative and easier:

small EDIT: Ok maybe not cheaper in the long term, depends how much your spike last. Mine crack very easily after 3-4 use and it does clog after more or less 8 use. Don't tell me what happens but usually after a while oil stop coming down, doesn't matter how long I keep it upside down, how much time i wait before drawing, it's like something melt or get clogged and that's it. New spike to be used.

I have access to cheap spike 0.80c each but for ppl using spike for the cost of 3-4$ than it's probably easier to use filtered needle.

I believe there is space for both use, for my BAC water vials I use Spike 100%. To draw from 3 different multidose vials I find a filtrered needle is a lot easier as it's hard to draw different compounds into same syring from a spike.

I have the svelte hands of a monastery midwife. I babied the connections and they still kept cracking. I don’t see the older version for sale anywhere so I’m guessing the manufacturer took note. But I will definitely heed your advice here and appreciate the heads up.

I can’t recall if the graphic below was already shared but I have it saved to my phone. Are you drawing upside down?

Yes, I draw upside down. If you're referring to the small amount of air when drawing, I think a few members have posted about that too. IDK if it's the filter or the seal, but I'm experimenting with that. Any suggestions are of course welcome.

the issue to fix that is you need to draw a bit, like 1/3 of the oil in it and then press quick and shoot back the oil and the air drawn back into the vial so that the channel gets free of air, then you can draw again without pulling any air, repeat a few time if needed.

Problem is... if you are drawing from multiple vials, after the first draw you can't do this anymore as that would contaminate vial two with the oil of vial one... that's why I believe filtered needle are a better choice for an AAS user doing multiple substance into same syringe.

Not at this level yet but is constituting separate compounds and storing them in one vial not an accepted practice?

Are we talking peptides now?

Was thinking of AAS. Forgot the original context was peptides.
