newb filter question

[bvs]

say i was to get a 500ml jug of test e 300mg/ml and wanted to put it into 10ml vials. is it as simple as using a 22um syringe filter to transfer from one to the other? or am i missing something/many things all together? sorry if this seems like a stupid question, like i said im a complete newb to this

Assuming the 500ml is not already filtered and you bought pre sterilized vials then yes.

Syringe filter and a vent in the vial.

You will need a whole bunch of syringe filters though and plenty of spare time.

cheers pob!
what is a vent in the vial?

 

[PillarofBalance]

If it's a pre sterile vial the oil displaces the air inside. With the stopper in place the air can't escape and therefore you can't fill the vial.

A vent is a second needle with no syringe attached that you stick thru the stopper when filling. It allows the air out.

i was going to fill the vials and then cap the vials myself, does that make a difference?

You'll need to sterilize the vials and stoppers. And make sure it is sterile after you fill and cap them.

in that case it sounds like id be better off getting pre capped vials

You'll need to sterilize the open vials and stoppers, filter then cap. No need to vent in that case

Probably yes. It's a tedious process and if you screw it up you will have serious problems.

It's going to take a minute to filter 500 ml with syringe filters. Be quicker and easier to get a bottle top filter, filter all of it, then put it in your presealed vials. JMO

Are you buying permanent 500ml of test? And it's not filtered? Filtering 500ml with .a strings filter gonna suuuuck. Listen to wabbitt.

500ml is a possible future figure. im gonna start with probably 100ml to test the waters

BVS, if you stick to a syringe filter for the sake of simplicity use a caulking gun to help you apply the pressure to the syringe. Also the smaller the diameter of the syringe barrel the easier it is to push through due to P = F/A but the trade off is youd need to fill it more.

Otherwise for such high volumes I prefer bottle top filters.

so let me get this straight...your going to buy 500ml of test that has not been filtered? Who sells an unfinished product like that? Ive never heard of anyone selling unfiltered oil.

yeah it says "Everything is made to perfection! All you will have to do is filter the Test Enanthate and bottle it. Very simple procedure!"

It takes no skill to cook test e.. And it does take more time to filter it then make it.. Your guy sounds lazy or uneducated... And I used syringe filters once.. Just once and never again.. It's a shitty process even with a calk gun.

After the first time i just bought bottle top filter set ups and a hand pump.. Took an hour off 400ml and the time and effort was worth me spending the money for a better set up

 

[wabbitt]

I don't know how cheaply you are acquiring unfiltered test, but filters aren't cheap, and it does take time. There is plenty of filtered, bottled test out there at very very affordable prices.

I have seen this once before and it was retarded... I dont get the point. Add in cost of filters and labor it's probably a wash at best

Exactly. One bottle top filter is 12$ and a hand pump is what 25$?

I would just buy 500ml filtered lol

It'll only cost you a pp pic to get Pinkbear to replace the hand pump. The vacuum those lips can create is just unreal. You run the risk of pulling the filter through the holder.....
