Drawing from bigger vials over and over

[hill450]

Hey got a question. I'm a cheap ass and don't want to pay for a bunch of 10ml vials to put all my gear in. Is there anything wrong with pulling from say like a 30ml vial while on cycle over and over? Just use a 30ml instead of 3-10ml vials?

Responses appreciated as always.

I do the same..except I go up to 50's and 100's...clean the stopper with alcohol each time.. and don't use a monster needle when you plan on putting it through the cap that many times(pieces of rubber end up in your oil).. a 22ga is sufficient(I draw with 18ga on small bottles..I'm impatient)

I wondered about pushing the rubber stopper into the vial since I would think it would become weak. I am really clean but I would think you would want to be especially clean while using that large of a vial. Damn, 100ml! Now thats a jug of juice!

Thank you though, I just may do the 50's. Only problem with that big is I may not use it all up in one cycle. Think its ok to let that sit till the next one? I can't see it mattering unless you know something I don't.

Up the dose then! lol

j/k, most oils are good for 2 or more years on the shelf(barring constant exposure to heat/light) so you should be good....

Good for 2 years while in the heat and light? Damn, they should be able to go for much longer if they are in a cool dark place. Thanks man!

I like 30ml myself. Just clean it and use no bigger than a 20g and you're g2g. Try to hit different spots all around the stopper. That's what I've done and it works fine.

Yea, I wanted to use 30's cuz they're pretty cheap at research supply but the bulk is out of stock right now. Just depends on when I order, may go 50's if no 30's...have to see what I feel like then lol

I like 50's. I use 23ga pins and move around the stopper.

no... good for two yrs without heat or light... sorry if that was unclear...

 

[hill450]

Yea I was kind of wondering about that, I figured you meant the other way around. Thanks guys, ill probably go 30 or 50

Id go 30 because they seem to be the best price for the volume. 20's cost more, and 50's jump up really quick. Ive ran a price breakdown and the 30's are the best bang for the buck.
