Funny, but I’ve never used a syringe filter but only to add some BB to some crashed cyp. 1000% worth the money to get a hand pump, glass media bottles, and some bottle top filters. The time savings alone is worth it.

YN, looking at the solvent prices from the link you posted, medlab is much cheaper. Just FYI. I think you had some issues with them in the past though if I recall correctly.

Medlabs shipping prices are way more expensive so in the long run it's more expensive through them. Plus they screwed me once by not honoring a coupon code they sent me so the only thing I'll ever buy from them again is guaiacol and that's only because I cant find it anywhere else

I was referring to the top fill ones that have the plastic resevoir on the bottom and you pump the pressure up to draw it through the filter those always cracked at the seams and my gear would leak out just a mess.

Oh ok gotcha. I’ll keep that in mind whenever I decide to switch filters. Thanks
