Hey fellas,
I finally brewed some
wholly oils after spending lots of time reading and learning from this homebrew forum and information shared by great members here. Greatly appreciated the help offered by members and including through PMs.
What I brewed:
1-TestCyp, 250mg/ml, BA/BB=2/18, MCT/EO=90/10
2-TestCyp, 250mg/ml, BA/BB=2/18, MCT/Mig840/EO=45/45/10 (experimented with this recipe to check how my system takes mig840 which should be ok given that I have no issues with MCT. If no pip, I will use this combo of MCT/Mig840/EO=45/45/10 for an experiment of Primo at 225-250mg/ml brew. I have a known good recipe for 200mg/ml primo which will be the baseline brew-many thanks to
@Iron Vett )
3-TPP, 150mg/ml, BA/BB=2/20, MCT/EO/GSO=75/15/10 (GSO just for faint green tint but 10% was not enough).
After wait period of 36hours, pinned 0.7ml of item (1) mixed with 0.7ml of UGL GSO Sustanon in the same syringe in the morning and no pip so far as i was not expecting any. Next, I will pin 1ml of item (1) by itself to conclude.
For items (1) and (2) brewed in the same session, when the oil/solvents were being stirred with a magnetic stir bar on the hot plate, I noticed small white pieces that did not look like undissolved powder but appeared to be the micro plastic burrs of the brand new magnetic stir bar I used. They did not dissolve into solution even after stirring for additional time at elevated temp of 185-195degF. Vials with filtered oil did not have any such pieces visible to the naked eye under light from different angels.
What do you guys make of this issue?

oh yeah, caulking gun makes it much easier to filter.
And Millipore Syringe Filters suck (millex gv slgv033rb; 0.2um/33mm/pvdf); clogging up after filling 2-3 10ml vials. Went through 10 for 25 10ml vials. Max operating temp of only 45degC!
