    Getting pissed with Stericups

    Seems like for the last year stericup's quality has slowly went down. Leaks for the most part. So far, I've been able to tighten them up and no problems.

    Now, there is some debri floating around in the receivers. (using complete stericup setup, not glass receiver). This has happened several times now. Oil is at mild temperature (safe to touch). I'm having to syringe filter after using the stericup, kinda defeats the purpose.

    Anyone else had any of these issues? I guess its about time to look into other setups. any pointers?

    Use NALGENE! I have had one crack, and it didnt even leak and it was my fault. But, with the exception of that, they have worked great EVERY time.

    They work perfect for me as well. Never any issues. Gear comes out clean and clear.

    I've used a whatman, millipore, and a nalgene and the whatman was my favorite.

    Idk if you're talking to me, but I got my Klari-flexes from GPZservices.com
    GPZ Klari-flex
    Worked great, had it pressurized at about 7 for the whole filtration, no issues.

    I did up 100mL of MENT (trestolone acetate) at 50mgs/ mL in CSO with 2% BA and 20% BB.
    EDIT: I haven't done anything with guaiacol yet, and will never do anything with EO. Got a horrible sensitivity to it.
