How do you filter castor oil?

[Sampei]

I hated it to 65c I'm trying to pre filter it... It's fucking impossible

Using .45um filter I just can't push it through a syringe filter. Does it get doable when adding BB? Or I just got some strange castor oil? I mean this fucking thing is like honey! Crazy viscous! I broke already 3 syringes trying to push it lol

use lower volume syringe for extra force.

FFS I tried with a 60ml syringe and a fucking caulking gun and destroyed everything three times, the third one the syringe exploded in my face and I had to shower as I was soaked in castor oil ahahah

Holy fucking shit I can't prefilter 1 liter of this thing but that's ok, it's just to pass time that I'm doing it... My worry is that I ain't gonna be able to brew my testo U with this castor oil I have because it's too thick.. it's cold pressed organic Ph.Eur castor oil, it should be top notch... Best of the best

I filtered the castor using a 2ml syringe. I had to push the syringe filter to the syringe to prevent it from exploding. Filtering 30ml took about 15 min while the oil was kept heated.
You can mix more bb or use a mct/castor.

Holy shit, 2ml syringe? Fuck me... Imma buying some bottle top filter just to brew this shit. I don't care, waste of money but at least I ain't going crazy.

Ok first I'm gonna try 250mg testo U and 50% BB just to see if it gets better.

What were you brewing?

I can't go 50/50 MCT, I need full castor for my testo U for TRT

 

[mochul]

Test p 200mg. 20bb
Test e 200mg 20bb
I brew when i need.

Ok so basically I don't have this issue due to my crazy scrizo contraption and I can filter castor oil pretty quickly. 45lb weight in the plunger and it goes through pretty quickler. Now if your filtering pure castor then yeah not even I can do that quick. But if it's mixed with BB then your gonna wanna build something that lets you out more weight. If your filters are busting then it's the filter. The ones I got can handle so much pressure it's insane. I was able to put my body weight on the plunger and a 35lb weight. So it's pretty strong.

No solution, yet, darling?

 

[Sampei]

No solution, yet, darling?

not until i brew it and add BB

So you was trying to filter just pure castor? Yeah no wonder you couldn't do it. That's hell.

I wanted to prefilter it, yes it was pure castor xD
I had nothing to do, I filtered all my MCT and Miglyol 812, so I was finishing with castor only oil left...but fucking hell no way I can do that

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

what BB are you doing? I have no problem.

Caulk gun+ 60ml syringe. EZPZ

it was no BB, I was prefiltering the OIL with a .45um non sterile filter, oil was warmed up to 50c but there was nothing except Castor Oil

well I dont pre-filter it... nor do I see a need to.

There is no need, I had nothing to do better, still waiting for my purity tests on the raws so can't brew

If you are bored
Use the homebrew calculator
brew it at 94-95% assuming it is what it is
Gives a 1-4% overdose.

dont use until you get final confirmation


(Do not do this for EQ, Deca, Bold C)

no I'm too OCD to do this, I wouldn't be happy with the final results even if it gets closer or even the same as if I had the purity.

I need to be patience and just wait for the results. Thanks for the tip anyway Spiff

I still have to receive the stainless steel table as well, can't brew without that, doesn't feel right ahaha

Btw I'm buying some air purifier with HEPA filter, what do you reckon 2 are enough for a small room?

are you using a closed system with an IV extension and syringe filter?

or open vials?

Closed system for now but bought everything needed to cap my own vials, thought of filtering into a big media bottle with septum, draw 10ml and quickly fill vial and cap it, that's the idea for the future if I feel comfortable doing it.

I dont have much input on it.

I would even assume large hepa filters on a small room could outdo a flow hood. like a 1000 sqft one in a 100sqft room. just throwing thoughts out there.
