Filtering finished oils

your right "Jesus Christ"
@Ghoul these fuckers are starting to mistake me for you. Come over here hold this guys hand and write him a 600 word essay on filter membrane compatibility.
save me

Honestly, for the topics that don't excite me enough to research, I just follow the advice my mentor gave me when I asked how to become wealthy.

"Find someone who's rich and do what they do."
 
Let's say I have a few 50ml sterile vials, and some 200mg/ml primo that needs "watering down" and filtering, since it's from a Chinese supplier and probably wasn't filtered very well. My thinking is to get some refined GSO, PTFE 0.22um 33mm syringe filters, and filter the primo and then the GSO into the vial. It will then mix in there.

My stupid question now... The syringe filters I've seen only have a lock on the side of the syringe, how am I then attaching a needle to get the oil into the vial? I've seen setups with caulking guns and plastic tubes, but wondering what the attachment is called for attaching the needle to the tube? Unless I don't need a tube at all, and it's one of those attachments that doesn't have a lock.

Could I use a spike filter in the vial, stick the end of the filter directly in there? I've never seen a spike filter with my own eyes, so this may be even more stupid. However earlier in the thread I saw talk of how easy it is to get oil out of a vial with a spike filter, so wondering if the same is true to get the oil into the vial. That then negates the need for a caulking gun, I would assume.

You don't need a lock on the needle side as the pressure is from the syringe side when it enters the filters on the outflow the pressure is mild.

Just attach the filter to the syringe, attach needle to filter, puncture the vial stopper and filter the oil.

What oil is the primo? MCT?

Amazing, thank you.

Yeah it’s MCT. Seems to mix okay with GSO in a syringe, I’m assuming this will work? Maybe you can tell me otherwise?
 
Why don't you mix it with more MCT?
I feel like MCT generally is more pippy for me. For example, when I do 2.5ml MCT (right now primo and tren) plus 0.5ml GSO (test c), I get a lot less pip that just 2.5ml MCT.

You don’t think it’ll mix well?

It Will mix fine
 
Will the same setup for filtering MCT be usable for castor?
heated oil with .22 filter with a 20ml luler lock?
I assume the filters will have to be replaced more frequently too?

20ml luer lock and castor don't fit well unless you have a caulking gun and the 20ml syringe fit in it.

Filter will need to be replaced the same, it's not the viscosity of the oil that changes how many time you have to replace the filter.

What is the max amount of cc's you have pushed through a 22um ptfe 25 mm syringe filter either hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
 
Im not a homebrewer and this sparked a question (not necessarily a brilliant one) along these same lines: I have never had 200 mg/ml Test C crash but regularly get crashes with 250mg/ml Test C. So, if one had 12 ml of 250mg/ml Test C in GSO that keeps crashing, could one simply add 3ml of additional sterile filtered GSO and now have perfectly usable 15ml of 200mg/ml Test C that would also no longer crash? I'm wondering most about the BB ratio.

The best thing to do is either warm it before each injection to keep it uncrashed or throw it away and get tou some more.. no offense but test is cheap as fuck. Adding after the fact is just a crap shoot... if your money is that tight pm me
Peace

More a question out of curiosity. Warming is what I do. Money is not tight. Thanks

apologies, i meant 33mm 0.22um. will this work without a caulk gun?
