Vial Spike/Adapter

[RocketSurge0n]

Finally decided to try these multi dose vial adapters. Pretty amazing actually. Would suck to travel with but great for easy vial drawing. I pin daily so it’s a huge time and needle saver.

We got some action already. It looks like the satilite dish part is starting to laminate off with these strings. I know it is not a part of the internals or what actually touches the oil but worth noting. A few fell right off after I agetated it this morning:




Now, you can see here, that type of plastic is starting to "corrode" (cloudy parts) or break down. It looks like sun damage on an old vehicle when it sits in the sun for too long:








You can see the whole inside of the spike up into the housing looks degraded:




Big difference...

Ohhh boy. Thankfully I tired it on a vail that was almost empty! Thanks for this.

Would the degradation only happen if the spike is constantly submerged? Because if the via is filled to the proper height the spike won’t be submerged at all times.

That's a risk you'd have to take lol (if ur comfortable with it). There's just no way to completely avoid any contact with the oil. CN oils also use more solvents than what we tested with.

Got it. Yea it doesn’t really seem worth it. The convenience factor in theory is SO NICE. But saving a little and a money on needles isn’t worth shooting melted plastic particles.

Still some residual oil left in the spike fron previous use depending on the design. That residual liquid sits there.

I wouldn't use them as they aren't designed for these chemicals.

It was advertised to me for testosterone when I was doing research on them. But yea, the CN oils may just have more solvents.

By whom?

Aren't those the ones from Amazon? Lol

Some TRT clinic videos

Nope, got them here

TRT clinic

Oh. Sorry.

Unreliable source of information many times.

Yea, I think ill just stick to the standard draw needle method moving forward after seeing all this.

I have some of those that quit working after a few draws so i figured the oil was probably degrading them. I use them for Bac water only now.

Oooh smart. That’s what I’ll use mine for. Nice.

Have you done any testing with the Braun Mini Spike? I've had those in QSC oil vials (filtered) for months without apparent problems.

 

[Landlocked]

I believe those are the solid blue ones and I don’t think they are good for these oils either.

Nope, they don't look like any of the pictures I've seen. I'll post a pic when I get home
