Been reading and researching for a minute now on homebrew. Trying use search function but could not find a straight answer. If I were to whip up a batch of test e (or anything for that matter), could I filter finished product through syringe filter into unsealed vial, after sterilizing it of course, and then put rubber stopper and crimp on flip top? or would this then make it unsterile again since it has contact with air? Sorry for the lengthy question, just thought I wold ask before doing shit reckless, ya know?

Why dont you just get sterile sealed vials 
?! I mean techinally , you could use open vials and sterilize them , but its really just alot of extra work for no reason since you're syringe filtering your oil anyways ...
Plus syringe filtering directly into an open vial would be such a pain in the ass , bad idea my man.

Nova,
I have experience brewing 300-400 bottles at once so i think i can help you out with your questions.
Say you already know how to mix your Powder/BA/BB and carrier oil together and it has gone into a solution (Oil goes completely clear and haze free) . So now your ready to filter...
My opinion is that syringe filtering is just unacceptable... I hate it so much, i would go ahead and use Bottle Top Filters even if im just making 60ML of Primo (cause Fuck primo is to expensive to make any more than that lol )
Thinking your prolly only making 100-200ML's i would spend the extra $40 for a brake Bleeder vaccum, and $30 ON (2) 250ML bottle top filters. Its so much easier you will thank me, and your hands will praise me because they wont be destroyed from pressing a syringe filters for hours....
When i sterilize 400+ unopened vials, i wash them in Distilled water and then wash them in 91% alcohol and then line them up in a oven pan. I make sure to cover them with a alcohol wiped down aluminum foil, and then bake them at 220 F for 40 MIN to dry out the alcohol, and then another 80 min at 435 F to dry heat sterilize them. If you go straight to high temps without letting the alcohol burn off first they will have burnt on alcohol stains on them.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE NO MOVING AIR IN THE ROOM, AND NO ANIMALS WAKING AROUND, FOOD COOKING, PEOPLE PASSING BY MOVING AIR AROUND NOTHING TO LET STUFF IN THE AIR DROP DOWN IN THEM......CAUSE IT WILL HAPPEN!
BUT!!!! to answer your question!!!
Yes, you can sterilize your vials, keeping them covered, and use a syringe filter to just filter it right into the open vials. You just dont want them uncovered for any longer than you have to, so with slow syringe filters, i would fill one up and put the stopper in as i finish each one.
Ask if you have any other questions, but i prolly wont check back in until monday !

The whole reason of using opened vials is to not have to deal with the pain in the ass of using a caulk gun and syringe filter.
Get a bottle top filter and vacuum pump if you choose to use open vials.

Better off getting a tattoo with that money lol.Yeah another amateur that brewed one cycle and decided to use his tax returns to start lab . Oh well its the only thing that keeps the underground interesting is running off retards like ole alpha here...
If I'm wrong, so be it. The recent trend says I'm going to be correct though. It's been ramping up since the 1st SST went down. Hell or high water, fuck em all!

How do you transfer all that oil from your bathtub into vials and keep it sterile ? Is there such a thing as a bathtub filter ? Sorry for the stupid question , I don't know anything about home brewing .
Thanks
All you need is a hair net.

Best to buy sterile vials
If you can't find them:
Boil vials and rubber stoppers in Hydrogen Peroxide
then rinse in alcohol, allow to air dry
wrap vials in Aluminum foil, bake in oven
As for keeping sterility after filtering:

Im not... I dont need any input from the " PROFESSIONALS " on here.... I was just trying to help this dude out.
Bro.... I straight up just dip the vials into the tub and cap them SUM BITCHES ! Then i microwave them to sterilize them, then write the name of the bottle with a sharpie and BAM IM DONE !!!!!
To me man it sounds like you just need to stick with sealed sterile vials and keep it simple if your only brewing for yourself !
