Everyone will have their own opinion on this. I have yet to use any, but from the research that I have done, grapeseed and walnut seem to be the most popular due to there viscosity. I just picked up 300ml of grapeseed oil from Research Labs. Take a look, they have everything you'll need.

the grapeseed oil should be available in your local grocery store or specialty store and will not cost nearly as much as what it does from a research company. just heat it in a glass vial to 275 degree's for 45 minutes before you use it to make any gear to help sterilze it then run the finished product through a whatmann filter

peanut oil is also good to use but you must make sure that noone you may share your finished product with is allergic to peanuts ;) also make sure you get the pure oil and not a concentrated version or one with additives

penut oil eh! sounds good......kind of makes me hungry..........does anyone know the different viscosities......and wouldn't the thinner oils be more prone to crashing your gear, or does that only have to do with a lack of proper ba content.... :sniper:

i'm a little wary of ordering anything across the border from the states, as i have been screwed more than once by legit companys......if any cunucks here know of one thats sure to deliver i'd be happy to give it a shot.....what do customs do in the case of whatmans, oils and such......at the very least they would sure wonder what i'm upto, do they have a database, like watch out for this guy, he's buying weird shit........

I have considered many times of buying some usp grade oil, steralizing it and running it through a whatman, but the cost of whatmens from my supplier is more than the sterilized soy oil they sell......

at any rate thanx alot for all of your imput....i appreciate your help and your expertise........ :sniper:

For homebrew enthusuiasts, grapeseed, usp, and especially Enova are all OK. The last actually being somewhat good for you, healthwise.

You still have to run the final product through a filter anyway. There is no benefit to buying expensive pre filtered oil. Once you add the hormone powder, solvents, heat & mix, then you have to take the final mix and filter it before use. Get what Im saying.

Personally I like products produced in Eythl Oleate. Can hold much higher concentrations and make the oils more smoother!

Wouldn't use peanut oil . Too many people with unknown peanut allergies.. Save that for your popcorn.. I prefer grapeseed due to viscosity and is available everywhere ..like everyone says gotta filter and heat anyhow plus it's gonna have ba or Bb involved .

Doubt customs will take grapeseed oils or cottonseed oils. People roll thru the us border to local Costcos around here and gallons of oils are used a million ways.. Tellem youre maken a big bottle of Italian dressing..As for the filters they wont care . They too are used by home herbalists and whoever..

Ive only used grape seed oil. And although Ethyl Oleate makes a nice thin solution, so many people have bad reactions to it, it melts some plastic filtration systems, and you cant preload syringes with it because it will melt the plunger. However there are some new oils that are popping up at the medical suppliers. Ive seen rice oil and apricot kernel oil. Both have peaked my interest. Anyone have any experience with these? I know dragon pharma uses a mixture of ethyl oleate and apricot kernel oil. Ive used that. But has anyone used these new oils in their home brew, for their horse?
