um...why not stick a sterile sealed vial and push the oil into it? Vent the vial while u push and your good to go.
Bro buy sealed vials and use a needle to put the oil in. Nobody crimps. You can buy a crimper for around $200 if you want, but then you still have to sterilize the vial. Also, you may even want to use smaller vials, I used a 50ml for my enanthate this time and 12mls into it I have rubber in my oil because I use an 18g to draw with. Now I have to re-filter and get a new vial.

I used 20ml vials for my fina, pulled out with 20g needle, that seemed to work fine. Maybe a bit raggedy the last few ml, but I think 20ml is perfect. 10ml is just too small, imo.
those big rubber stoppers are what i use. buy um in bulk. if the vial is sterile the final solution will be sterile after baking. those red stoppers hold up better than the small ones too. they are thicker. I also use a 20g to draw with. less trama to stopper and draws amost as good. heat solution just a bit before drawing and it flows very smooth, pushing and pulling.

Ok, I got a question, if the vials are sterile, they should already be capped, right? Or do you rip off the cap and put your own on when finished?
And if they aren't capped, how the hell are they sterile?
And what happens if you buy just plain old vials and caps separately? Is there anything special you have to do to both the caps and the vials? Or is this all sorted out when you heat the final solution?
Ok, so maybe that was more than one question.
here's what i do. I need to start charging you guys but since i am a nice guy.......
i use 150ml vials uncapped. a litle methanol kills that pesky bacteria, unlike BA. bake in the oven for an hour at 300f. place foil over te bottles as soon as you cut the oven off. after they cool some i filter directly into those with no needle on filter and my solution is nice and warm while filtering to make filtering even easier. i use a 20ml syringe. takes about 15 minutes to filter 150ml. i immediately cap with above mentioned stopper. put it back in the oven at 280f for a full hour. its sterile and ready to go. this method saves time and you can reuse the big vials. after baking i move the final solution into capped vials for administration.

Thank you, pb. Great tips, I should be making a few batches here shortly so we'll see how I do.
