Day 5 on my 50mg Tren Ace (along with other gear on this cycle)... Woke up yesterday and today feeling pumped. I usually wake up feeling a little flat....
A sure fire indicator for me is trap/shoulder tie in pump pain. I get it on Anadrol (don't run orals anymore). Got it today doing dumbbell OHP. Not sure if anyone else has felt that.
Also, some veins I never noticed in my inner quads, and forearms are looking sick. I mean... this soon?
I am very in tune with my body. Very strict and consistent diet, so variations in body are easy to see and feel.
The trap tie in pain is no placebo bro... shit is about to get real.

Those filters aren't made for filtering oils. They are made for thinner solutions. You can filter a lot through them, but I usually recommend filtering less. If it's a 500ml filter I used to do 300ml.
It's not recommended to run air through the filter when you used them.

I have researched beyond various vendor data. True, designed for aqueous solutions like cell culture media.
Hell, BA is listed as "not recommended" for filtering.
However depends on vendor.
Here is BA percentage Tests and results for PES.
Chemical Resistance Test PES
Furthermore:
"An Investigational Study on The Impact of An
Incopatible Filtration Of Benzyl Alcohol Using a
Polyethersulfone Membrane"
However, not filtering pure BA, but a low percentage.
Oil is thin when filtered warm.
Manufacturer answered an email ragarding lack of filtering temperature data in product literature.... replied 98F max temp. I filter at 105F (rebel).
I know many that use them without issue.
I have not experienced filter breakdown.
My MCT brews of Test E are crystal clear.
However, I have not filtered more than 500ml.
Maybe filtering more may cause breakdown.
Not filter air?
If you hook up a vacuum handpump, with no fluid, it will not hold vacuum.... the air will flow right through...
It's air... harmless.
The last part of applying vacuum, to get last drops.... is harmless.
I will be using different ones in future though...
I was in a pinch and knew they would work...
So yes... not really the best option...
Thanks for bringing it up brother.
I will do further research on the matter... see what I can dig up.

I never recommend PES-filters. Learned this the hard way because there were no compatibility charts when I used to brew.
PVDF is the way to go. Don't filter EO with PES-filter, EO will eat right through it.
Filtering brews while they are very hot is really not recommended. 105f shouldn't be a problem though.
More filtering will ruin the filter and also clog it up. As I've mentioned before, they are not made for filtering oils.
The last part of applying vacuum, to get last drops.... is harmless.
It's not the air that is the issue.
This is not recommended by companies that produce filters. Don't think you'd die from it but higher probability of getting something through the filter that shouldn't be there.
At the end of the day the only thing we can do is lower the probability of getting bacteria, spores etc in our gear and try to stop that stuff from growing in the vial. That shit is everywhere....

Good to know.

Got some nylon bottle top filters on the way.
Eliminate any possible issues with PES.

Looks good bro! Don't use any EO with the nylon filter.
