To filter or not to filter a 10mg vial

I’m trying to decide how I’d do it I guess. Draw bac, remove and waste needle. Apply filter. Push bac out, remove filter, draw pep with fresh needle. Waste second needle. Apply filter and fresh needle I guess.
There are a couple of people who have been working on guides for peptide filtering, hopefully I'll be able to share some of that info here once it's available. If not I'll try to put something together myself next time I'm sitting in an airport terminal during an extended layover or delay.

I haven’t actually used my filters yet but I did practice with bac water when I was loading pens. This is a cut and paste from discussion with a someone else about their method.

“I pre-wet my 13mm filters with .5mL of BAC, reconstitute with 2.5mL, and filter into a cartridge with an air purge at the end. I wind up with 3mL of solution in the cartridge every single time.”

Peptide Test has also made instructional videos which I think are on his website.

He has a video but doesn’t pre wet the filter that I remember

No, he doesn't but many others do. There was some back and forth about how to reduce peptide retained in filter and this was this user's method.The 4mm filters that PT recommends are harder to find (unless you buy from him) and more expensive. Many feel the cost/benefit ratio isn't worth it and use the 13mm PES filters.

the 4mm filters are so SO much more expensive 😭 I haven't been filtering up to now, but was seriously considering doing it for this batch of Amo tirz I've been sitting on. Using 4mm filters would make that very cost prohibitive.

$1.60 each from a well known source?

A lot of people also feel they are just harder to handle because they're so small. They are also really meant to filter about 2ml although people have been successful with higher volumes. There's pros and cons to each and, full disclosure, I ordered 13mm but have not yet filtered anything.
