So after shattering the first filter media bottle (and losing some oil :() I ordered a glass media bottle and refiltered everything.

Here it is, 10ml vials of Test C @ 250ml/mg

Last two vials are different that's why they look more full

congrats man
I remember the feeling of brewed your first batch for the first time
 
I used to overdose but not to much anymore. Overdosing works if you definitively know the purity of the raws is significantly less than 100 percent. . If you’re going to go by what we are being told than all the raws are pretty pure. So overdosing just gives you a higher mg per pin dose. I personally would rather brew more total volume of finished oil than less oil higher mg. Example is 11 grams makes 100ml at 110mg/ml or 110ml at 100mg/ml. Long term consistency always beats short term intensity

the only way you will know the purity of your raw is by sending them to test yourself.

example
test e 100g is 71 dollars
so you could make 10 vial with 25g or you could you 27,5g and have that overdose 10% . Raws are so cheap that I dont see the point of not overdosing your stuff but is your my opinion

Firstly, reread what I wrote. I specifically made a point in saying purity is what plays a major role in how you brew. If you are being told that your raw is 99 percent then there is no real need to overdose. You think 110mg of prop is vastly different than 100mg. However, if you found out that your raws are 80percent than you have to overdose by 20 percent just to get to a 100.
Secondly you clearly haven’t stepped out past the basics of home brewing. Start brewing primo at 20 a gram or trestolone at 60 a gram. Not so cheap when you start adding in unnecessary overdosing.
 
I didn't overdose I used the exact gram I calculated for. Just curious what others do.
For low concentrations of about 100mg/ml I overdose by 10%. For 200mg/ml or more I only overdose by 5%. I figure why make your 250mg/ml test at 275? I think at that concentration 5% is enough to make sure you're close to the mark, ya know?

Edit: I do this mostly because my homebrew isn't just for me. I wanna make sure if I share with a friend or if it goes to anyone else that they are getting at least what's on the vial.

this is the reason why i overdose
((If you are being told that your raw is 99 percent)))
i could sell you some raws and say is 99 % purity and maybe is 80% like you cant never be 100% sure unless you send those raws to test it yourself and i never been into primo that is the reason why i havent brew it but remember this is just my opinion and everybody is different and i respect the way you think and brew your stuff
 
I’m not saying you’re wrong and you’re right To each his own when it come to brewing but where you are kinda missing the point is raw purity. What you are saying is true but means nothing because there is no one to test it for you. Analyzer is gone. Jano can’t be trusted. Do you know where you can get raws tested because if you do fuck this conversation and spill the beans. This place is in desperate need of a testing source. Besides a local university. Read Sasquatch thread if you didn’t get that. All I’m saying is we have nothing to go by other than what we are being told. If you don’t truly know the purity than 10 percent doesn’t mean shit. Also to point out what @TideGear said higher mg brews require more BB. If you brew like I do with as little bb as possible 275 may crash if you don’t add more BB to compensate for your overdose so again just brew with straight up numbers that are tried and true and you’ll almost never have a problem.
 
I chuckled.
90 percent of the people on here are great. We joke we argue we debate whatever. That other 10 percent though. They are something special. They add a level of enjoyment that’s just not available if they weren’t around. They also happen to be fucking idiots but whatever it’s cool.
 
I'd love to use a bottle top filter and cap my own vials but I'm too paranoid about things being exposed to the air for any amount of time since I don't have a room with proper air quality control. So I stick to syringe filter and sealed vials

I hear you man, I think that's why a fume hood is going to be a good DIY project for me. Give me a little more peace of mind, granted it's from sterile media bottle, into sterile syringe, into sterile vial, stopper, cap, crimp....but those milliseconds it is exposed for erks me lol

Just get some open top caps and some silicone septas to put own your media bottles and then you can draw from the bottle just like a vial with no exposure to outside elements. I also sterilize my vials with a small piece of foil over the top, after allowing the alcohol to evaporate. Then I just pierce the foil and inject the oil into the vial and leave covered until I'm ready to cap the vials.
