How to safely filter MCT and dilute test?

[RichRoider]

I tried diluting some test 400 e but didn’t like the process. I got 22 ptfe luer lock filters. I couldn’t figure out how to get the MCT from the bottle into the syringe In a way I liked. Is opening the bottle of organic mct drawing straight from bottle ok?

I ended up using a 3ml luer lock and just drawing straight up. Then in added the ptfe filter and a 21g needle pushed that into a new vial.

Is there a better way?

How long is the filtered mct oil good in a new sterile vial?

I want to draw 5 units of filtered mct and then combine that with 25 units of test in same syringe. The hope is the 5 units of mct will lessen PIP.

Yes that's fine. You can and should also heat the MCT once In its new home. Put in oven with an 18gauge pin sticking out the top to relieve pressure in the vial.

Make sure you are also adding the correct proportions of bb and ba, or everything will be off. If they are sterile syringes, its fine to draw from the bottle. I buy the 18ga 1.5" blunt tip needles from Amazon to help. A good shake for a few minutes once its diluted should mix fine, also make sure you put a vent needle into the stopper when adding the oil bb and ba. Otherwise buy a stir plate, mix everything in a beaker, then filter back into a new pre-sterilzed vial

If the test 400 e already has bb and ba, is adding more to the new mct/400 e diluted blend necessary? Is that to help keep it bacteria free?

I took 1500mg (3.65ml) of 400 e and blended it with 3.65ml mct I diluted. Took a 30ml dose and no pip. This 2 months ago.

I stopped though because I got 250 cyp. I also developed a rash back of my neck. Could have been related to the straight 400 e I tried (15 units), the 400e/mct blend or something else.

160 degrees

Is your thinking on this that 160 is the approx smoke point?
