Exactly what he said 👆!!
Oh lord I don’t even wanna know what my lungs look like! Between starting smoking at 13, construction without wearing masks, living in NYC…eeesh!
You are my spirit animal.
Holy shit your lungs probably look like the bottom of a shoe from the description!!!!.
I’m not lying, and you’re not wrong 😕 I grew up in the 90s when smoking still was badass and cool, plus I loved/love classic film where everyone smokes and looks so glamorous. (I quit in 2018 but still vape and gotta kick that.) And my dad is a big home repair guy/landlord who wasn’t big on safety so at 8 I was helping him paint and throughout my 20s we did lots of drywall sanding, plaster wall repair/sanding in old buildings—rife with lead paint. I think knowing how much I’ve shat upon my body is one of the reasons I’m quite cautious now!
Haha so true! I watched a video earlier on how to do it and realised I'll need to invest in a lot of different needles and syringe types from what I've already got.There was a great post about filtering—from a nurse I believe—who was talking about microscopic inorganic compounds in our lypholized vials that can enter the body and cause all sorts of complications. There may be lil teeny bits of rubber or metal from vial production in addition to bacteria and other microorganisms—filtering takes care of all of this.
@BNLFL turned me on to Biologix, who makes sterile 13mm PES 0.22 micron filters about $50 USD for 100. Don’t get non-sterile filters; it defeats the point and is a waste of money. Biologix shipped fast, and they’re a well-respected brand. (I’ve used their lab culture media when I was in college, and just ordered some to run my own sterility experiments.) All that peace of mind for $0.50!
Filters do nothing for endotoxins unless you get positively charged filters which trap gram negative bacteria endos, but everything I’ve learned so far indicates they may ruin your peptide as well if the peptide solution itself is negatively charged.
It’s SO easy to do and quick! Like less than 2 minutes. You can pre-wet the filter with BAC and then after either flush with air or BAC to get the most out of your peptides. I’ve only air flushed so far as I’m still refining my supply and work flow, but have found based on volume that I’m not losing much trapped in the filter.
Plus it gives you the mad scientist feels!
Do you have a link to a resource where I can understand how to do this?
Do you filter into a new, sterile vial? Or do you just use a filter on the needle when you inject?
Hehehe yeah your lungs have seen a lot already! 🤣
We've gotta order white lab coats before they become a restricted item!
Girl, I smoked for nearly 30 years, quit at around 45, was vaping after that used to go to sleep holding my vape and wake up holding it. Finally went on a health kick and dropped the vape at 48, only 4 years ago. And I feel fucking marvelous. Do yourself a favor and drop that vape as soon as possible. It sucks, but feels amazing to be nicotine free.
Thank you for this.
