Hahaha, well I should mention that I have only been pinning quads for the past 2 months, I did this morning with it and no PIP, swelling, redness, or soreness of any kind.

You are the man! I get pissed after syringe filtering about 20-30 ml. Read up and learn how to do bottle top. You will thank yourself.

Bottletops are the way to go. You will never go back. Fuck the caulking gun. I read on another forum, a guy puts his syringe with a syringe filter in a bench vise with the needle pointing down and into a vial. Then he takes a strap and slings it over the back of a plunger and he hangs a ten pound weight at the bottom of the strap. It took me a minute to picture what he was doing. Pretty funny i think.
Anyway, bottle tops are the way to go.
Congrats on your first batch.

Wait till the pressure of the caulking gun blows the glued filter body open like a clam shell and you lose precious tren on your new nikes you got from your girl and are now stained for life..

Now that's a real money shot !

bottle tops are the way to go, wattman zapcap chemical resistant are the most durable, only shitty thing about em is it's a bitch getting them to seal to your media bottle, think duck tape or packing tape will help, millipore stericups work nicely as they're threaded to mate up to a 45mm necked media bottle. Just filter into the media bottle, put an open top cap with a silicone septa on. Bake for an hour or so @ 160* C, then you can use a syringe to draw from the media bottle and inject into sterile sealed vials, thats what I have been doing and works great, done about 300g with or raws this way and not a problem yet. Test all brews in my quad and not one bit of pip yet.

If you used a 60ml syringe I like using the caulking gun method. No strain at all and the gun does all the work. check into it collin I think there's some pics on here.

Yeah Im either doing caulking gun or bottle top. For this first run though I just went with syringe filter and 10ml..Not a big deal as Im not making 1000 vials, but its a hassle thats for sure!

Well I made a mistake last night! When brewing I was halfway done filtering test e 400, when I sneezed suddenly trying to draw up the oil, knocked over my beaker, and spilled it everywhere! Complete fail but at least I got over half way done. Small mistake live and learn haha

I mean, it was essential only about a 40 dollar loss, so not too upset as it coulda been way worse. I just know to do smaller amounts for next go around and probably find a way to secure or mount the beaker down.
