Need filter for pieces of vial stopper

[EXCELLENTMENTALHEALTH]

so i have some pieces of floating rubber from the vial stopper broken into the vials. Wondering what the best way to filter that out would be. I have a vacuum pump filtration system but I'd probably lose most of the half vial or whatever.

Maybe like, a coffee filter and just heat up the oil beforehand?

Anyways thanks. Dont want to inject pieces of tiny rubber if I can avoid it.

Maybe I could just suck up the vial with like a 27g syringe and that would be enough to filter it out?

Or shit just use a piece of cotton, junkie style lol.

I'm sure there is different ways, maybe easier too, but I personally draw the oil with a 60ml sterile syringe and then push it through a 22um PTFE into a pre-sterilized vial using a caulk gun to aid with the pushing.

yea but we're talking a single vials' worth. A filter would soak up a vial's worth

Nah you won’t loose that much with the right size filter. Check out this thread

I see a lot of great posting lately on filtering finished oils. Decided to make a thread to hopefully consolidate all the great info in one spot.

My knowledge is somewhat amateur on this topic, but what I know so far is that for the average user buying 10ml UGL finished oils a PTFE 0.22 13mm Is likely the best choice.

If you have good info on filter types, brands, techniques, etc. I want to know!

There are ways to mitigate or at least minimize any loss besides getting a smaller filter (which will take 3 times as long to push it through).

1. Prime the filter with the same carrier oil. This should be a no brainer.
2. Air purge the filter into the vial after all the oil has gone through.

I'm sure most already know, but there should be a venting needle in place the entire time.

Yeah, no, it won't. I have done it hundreds of times at this point.
