Second abcess in the same cycle ... how do I sterilize this gear?

[topvega]

I use .2 but a lot of people say .45 will do. You could probably get away with not adding any ba but if it makes you feel better just add a tiny bit especially if it is only 20 ml of oil or else you will be in a world of pain when you inject it if you add too much. you can use 10cc syringes but make sure the oil is good and warm to hot in order to push the oil threw the filter. I did it once by hand and my hands were sore for days. The caulking gun method is the best but you will need a larger barreled syringe to use that method.

After looking at the caulking gun method pics I see you cld use a smaller barreled syringe. The thing I don't like about it though is that you put a bit of pressure on the filter itself where as the bigger syringe fits better and the pressure goes directly on the syringe. Here is a link to the method.

Guy - your really going to inject something into your body thats already givin' you problems? Injecting foreign substances is a tricky enough game - if your body is reacting the way it has - it's telling you something. Toss it and hope for a better buy next time.

You'll also want to buy some additional oil, otherwise a portion of your hormonal goodies will remain in the filter.

Check out the chem section for tips if you haven't done stuff like this before.

If all you have is 20ml, a 3cc syringe will be fine and so will one filter, either .2 or .45.

If it has already given you two abcesses toss it. but if you really dont want to do that, filter it through a .22 whatman filter into a new vial and then put a vent needle in it and put it in the oven at 250 degrees for 45 minutes

UPDATE:

I finally got around to filtering, adding ba, and heating all of my gear. I did my first shot the other day and all is well. I would like to confirm that anyone that said toss it out is a moron.

lol

all i can say is toss it out and never get ug get hg. never had a prob with hg product.

Why bash UG labs? There are seriouse ones out ther, maybe not in the states but over here the shit rocks.

 

[mick-g]

^ug yes for product you cant get hg like tren, mast, etc., but for test i always go hg. I agree go with a trusted ug, alot of them new ones are crap or ppl having these kind of probs.

Wouldn't it be worthwhile refiltering it with a .2um whatman filter ?

Yes...although overall this concerns me. True abcesses are fairly rare and to get two in one cycle is an indication that this isn't well made gear. Glad it turned out ok though.

glad it worked out for you... I wld never throw out my gear if i believed it was real.. i wld always try re-filtering first... I won't get into the whole UG HG debate as I brew my own gear from powder and I feel it is the best way as i know my shiet is sterile.

I had used the gear plenty of times before getting the abcesses. I strongly believe it was caused by rubber stopper chunks.

yeah i wld think that was the reason also.
