want Eq made at 300 ? Or higher ?
650
It's pip free.
They sold hundreds if not thousands.
I brew mine at 750 now.

After going through @AllGoodThings long-term storage thread, it got me thinking.
Years ago, I brewed wine and honey (mead) as a hobby. One thing I learned pretty quickly is that wine and mead absolutely improve with age, but not just by being tossed in a bottle and forgotten.
There’s a reason you hear that distinctive pop when a cork releases. Commercially, there’s often a small amount of inert gas (like argon) occupying the headspace. That gas helps reduce oxygen exposure over time.
Because the real downfall in long-term storage isn’t time itself, it’s oxygen. Oxidation leads to degradation.
So while digging through old gear in the garage, I came across my old argon gas regulator and had a thought...What if?
What if, instead of leaving oils in small standard vials with normal air headspace, you transferred them into larger 30 mL, 50 mL, even 100 mL sterile vials, and displaced the air in the headspace with argon gas?
You can certainly do this with 10ml vials as well, just don't blow the topper.
In theory...
Argon is inert
It’s heavier than air
It displaces oxygen
It reduces oxidation in other applications (wine, mead, food storage)
So the question becomes If oxygen is the long term enemy of stability, could inert gas displacement meaningfully extend shelf life in stored oils?
Essentially like regulating the pressure on a new HGH vial, you would insert one pin to purge, while pinning the argon line and displacing oxygen. Of course you would need some PPE, a new sterile vial and measure pressure first while probably blowing a few toppers. But hey if you're holding that much stock long-term this is a minor addition. Even small hand held can editions exist.
Just thinking out loud here.
I'm going to shut my brain off now. It's going to force me to try this.
That was just my mind rambling on.I feel you guys are going abit far with this storage thing..
But it works yes.
One needle in, bubble through the oil and one needle out.
Argon does dissolve a lil in the oil.
There's a guy who was talking about buying vacuumed vials at 0.3 a pop from India, you could just do that from CN and it'd be a much easier experience.
or..just get one of these..

They have smaller bottles i believe, i dont remember. 250/500
i heard sigma was bad now that test is from 2024 they still gtg?

Yes, but I actually have all the equipment from home brewing. I would have to design a needle system to introduce. But I have a digital pressure regulator that if used correctly would essentially fill a 10ml to pressure then auto off.Wasn’t this discussed at length in that thread?
Was home brewing really hard to learn? It’s kind of been in the back of my mind for a while.Yes, but I actually have all the equipment from home brewing.

My concern is gas escape. I don't have a way to measure that or ensure that any puncture to a self healing or not stopper would actually withhold gas long-term.
Honestly I just get bored my man.
Why the extra 50?650

No man, and it was fun. Worst part is not rushing the process. My rec would be to find a local home brew store and they'll set you up.Was home brewing really hard to learn? It’s kind of been in the back of my mind for a while.
Where are people getting my email to send me stuff like I’ll copy and paste a few:
I need a price for this
3 vials NPP
3 vials Primo
Hello wha are the prices?

I couldn't do it, I really couldn't. I can't be forced to suffer fools and ignorant people.Hey heard your a good supplier and struggling to find your website if you could send it to me thanks.
Ik like wtf man. The emails only posted in the intro and pastebin and a couple places thru the thread. So how are they even getting it if not from thereI couldn't do it, I really couldn't. I can't be forced to suffer fools and ignorant people.
