How's it going guys?? Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself... I've been a member of Ef for a while however never really posted much just soaked up all the info I could.. Same with this forum I've been around for a little while with a post here and there. I want to thank all you guys for the info you posted, I'm going to brew my first batch of test e this weekend, got 100g of raw, only going to make 50ml my first attempt so I don't screw up and waste all my raw.

Thanks mh48500... I will most def be dropping here and asking for help if I run in to any issues... I do have a couple questions that I haven't been able to find a answer to... Since I am only going to be make 50ml this time around, I will be using syringe filters, how many ml per filter could I push through it? Just to play it on the safe side I was going to swap it out every 10ml... Also I know from reading all the threads I've looked at and personal experience that test 250 has almost no pip, but I would like to eliminate it completely by doing a 50/50 mix with eo and gso, what do you vets on here think?

I personally dont see the need to use the EO. If this is your 1st ever brew, then keeping it as simple as possible would be best. EO is mostly used to hold higher concentrations, like 150mg Test Prop, Test E holds effortlessly at 250mg/ml.
In the end its personal choice.
A Whatman brand filter should get you through the entire 50ml. Just have some on hand in case you blow one.

Yes the plastic set ups are one and done.
They make ones with a glass receiver bottom but I think the tops are still a one shot deal that's why I got a 12 pack

So I used my first bottle top today. All I can say is why the fuck havnt I been using it all this time. Bought a $7 vaccum pump from harbor freight.
It literally filtered 175 ml in 2 seconds.
Now the weird thing is I went to wash it with soap. To clean it. And it literally started to eat the bottom of the bottle top
Is it a one use thing? Cause trying to wash it ruined it.
Do they make a glass bottle top set up that can be reused?
KRAZIEONE
Lol! You used what's called a complete filter. It's a one time use. Did you really try to clean out the receiver? How were you gonna sterilize it? LOL!!! Sorry.
Anyhow, yes, you can buy the steritop, and use glass receivers. Of course, you'll have to sterilize the receivers before use, plus make sure they're the same size as your steritop.
I don't think there is a reason to laugh at me though. Never used one before so lesson learned I suppose.
KRAZIEONE
I don't know about everyone else, but I feel the sterilization of glass receivers is greatly worthwhile after having a few different types of the disposable plastic receivers fail to hold and lose vacuum through pinhole air leaks. Sterilization is a piece of cake with an autoclave!
I really like the Whatman Zapcap filters for filtering into vacuum flasks.

Its fine. But ya, besides the fact that the attempt to clean was silly being its a one timer. What I felt was odd was that the soap literally ate the plastic and it was gooey inside. That was weird.
KRAZIEONE
If you don't want to autoclave, these are sturdy, and do well: http://www.medical-and-lab-supplies...cup-complete-filter-units-500-ml-count-1.html
But anyway, the use of it is by far worth it. So easy. Literally instantly filtered.

Good to know, thank you. Although, what are your thoughts on using PVDF membranes to filter gear with BB? I've always stuck to nylon
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Soapy water shouldn't do that. I'd email the company and ask them why this happened. If they don't know, I'd ask them for a refund, or different brand complete filter units sent to you, so you can re-filter what you have. And btw, hopefully they don't laugh about wondering why you washed out a one time filter receiver. Lol!!! Sorry. It actually caught me a little funny.
My sense of humor is wacky I guess.
I'm not sure it was all plastic I think. I'm using a hand vaccum pump. It will b fine
KRAZIEONE
......expect for washing.......

It was bought from med lab supply.
And a sense of humor is OK with me but not usually at my expense. But I'm a big boy it's fine. I can take it.
Why would I refilter?
I filtered my stuff and bottled it and then washed the container. So my gear is fine.
KRAZIEONE
How much EO was used and how long did it sit there eating and wreaking the plastic before it was pulled out?If soapy water applied to that plastic receiver post-brew caused a reaction that melted the plastic, yes I'd re-filter it. And I apologize. Just caught me a little funny, that's all. I'm sure if you email them about what happened, they'll probably send you replacements if you ask.

All good on that.
But your are misunderstanding.
I opened it from being sealed in its package. Then filtered my gear. Then, when done and all was bottled I washed it out. It was already filtered bottled and good to go.
I'm still not seeing the need to refilter it.
KRAZIEONE
Pvdf is the way to go. I heard nylon is the fastest but all are still pretty fast so no need. As far as Bb, Pvdf is g2g. All should be find for BB. EO is a different story,
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
All citable sources I've found consistently say that there is no current compatibility data for Benzyl Benzoate and PVDF membranes. Not saying I haven't them with gear containing BB in the past, but the scientific community isn't sure about it so I'll wait until there's conclusive data haha.

Gringo make room for a pm btoooo
I understand you brewed the gear, then washed the receiving container out after use. Also, the fact that the plastic reacted this way with soapy water should be of concern, and I wouldn't inject it. Oh no. Not until re filtered.
Because that reaction doesn't seem typical and makes one feel that it was defective to begin with so err on the side of caution and assume it was compromised from the get go and assume the filter didn't do it's job.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Ok.... I'm gonna try again.
Please explain why you want me to refilter.
I get you are saying don't inject it and refilter first but you arnt telling me why
The receiver sat there for at least ten min with no reaction with leftover solution in it. Solution coated to the walls of the container.
The reaction happened when water hit the bottle.
So I'm failing to see why I should be concerned about my gear.
So if you could explain why I should refilter specifically so I can understand that would be great.
KRAZIEONE
With all that being said. The one thing u touched on. The liquid was hot. I'm thinking I shud have let it cool. Then filter.
Yes the container was fine until I tried to rinse it.
The hand pump doesn't have a pressure gauge so I can't tell u the reading. I gave it two pumps and it pulled the liquid thru fast. It was only 175 ml.
So I ordered the millipore filters this time and will reheat and cool and re filter.
KRAZIEONE
Interesting. But mine didn't crack. But the hot solution basically blew out the filter.
KRAZIEONE
Its bottled in 50ml jugs right now. And I like the thinness of it for injecting but now I may start using a gso sesame mix instead.
KRAZIEONE
No. I havnt sent any. After diagnosing the problem. Two ten ml I did send but I have already told the person DO NOT use it and to send it back.
Now, as far as ur other points I think you need to ease up. I have been brewing for more than three years. Sold MANY products to people and they have been more than satisfied. This is a new issue I havnt encountered as this was the first time using a bottle top process. And I don't really appreciate you slamming me saying I have no biz making products.
For a VIP you really arnt acting like one. One, for laughing at me. For two now slamming my ability to brew based on one issue I have never encountered before.
This should have been a discussion better served privately.
I think maybe you should take a step back maybe word things more properly and respectfully.
And I think you owe me an apology.
Just the fact you would even attempt to assume I would knowingly give someone something that isn't perfect really pisses me off and if you ACTUALLY knew me you would know I am a stand up guy and one that should not be treated this way.
KRAZIEONE
Who here (when they were younger) never, EVER thoguht chemistry would be so much fun??? LoL
I get a small rush out of making my own... Does that make me a nerd ???
Well, I guess if you gotta be a nerd you may as well be a buff nerd... Lol

See. You are still doing it. Don't you dare sit there and say I can't brew products correctly. Who the fuck are you to judge me. You are nobody. Just another guy on a forum. Just like me. This is fucking bullshit. You made a lot of assumptions my friend. And I personally take great offense to it. You don't know me or what I've made or sold or whatever. I would never give someone a product that o wasn't 100% on and havnt used myself first. Are fucking kidding right now. You are fucking with my reputation and I'm not gonna stand here and let you slam me and laugh at me. You were recently voted a VIP. I think that should be recinded. Thru this process you have not done thing except slam me for no reason.
And you can consider the conversation closed all you like. Bottom line.. You owe me an apology and publicly. I'm not going to idly sit by while you ruin my good name. I'm a stand up motherfucker and love all the guys here and would never do anything to harm anyone.
You might be a good guy but as of right now I have lost all respect for you for the way you handled this situation.
KRAZIEONE
I get laughed at and told oh u shudnt brew anything.
KRAZIEONE
You are an ass. I havnt even sold any yet you dumb fuck. Obviously you can't read. I know exactly what I'm doing. So what if I washed something that I didn't realize was disposable. That doesn't mean a thing.
You know what DD why don't you go fuck yourself. I won't complain to anyone because you arnt worth the effort. Lol.
Just like how you think you know what you are doing when giving diet advice to a guy for his woman.
And he told you his woman is an endomorph and you are telling him to feed her carbs and set her cals per day at 1600 when her BMR is 1460.
You are a guy I believe who thinks he knows everything about everything. And I really don't think you do.
And this is for anyone reading this that I'm sending stuff to.
If you have read all this and don't trust what I made will be refiltering and ensuring is 100% legit I will he more than happy to refund you or send back what we traded for.
FUCK YOU DEVIL DOG. AND THATS STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART. YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE AND DONT BELONG HERE.
KRAZIE OUT!!!
KRAZIEONE
Boring.....
Say whatever u want. If they don't want my stuff they can tell me themselves and I will give back or refund. Simple as that.
Let it begin.
KRAZIEONE
MH. As always perfectly tactful and always with respect.
I'm going to stop now. Because I respect you and agree.
I have told anyone that wanted something from me that if they feel uneasy I will refund or send back the traded items. I would never send out something knowingly that it was not right. And I still won't.
I did feel disrespected but I will let it go. I didn't know about bottetops. Saw on here it was a great way to go. It didn't go well
But its fixable. And I will fix it and perfect it no matter what anyone thinks.
I will end it from my end. This is done.
KRAZIEONE
I mentor. Some are incapable of listening, and putting it to work... Find a thread where I put someone down. You won't! Now when it comes to producing a very dangerous product due to lack of training, I do step in at that point. This thread is evidence of that. And you've been doing this a while, and washed out a one time disposable filter receiver thinking you'd use it again? Really??? Ok...
No one is slamming you. You just have no business compounding gear at this time as evidenced over the last few pages here... Since you've obviously missed the point, this is about safety, not ego..
I've read the whatman zap cap filters are suppose to be ok with eo in the mix. I don't know for sure as I've only brewed once and ran in To a similar issue with the same type of filter you used krazie.. I'll continue to research and if I find any info that maybe useful ill post it up
