>Gotcha, like this?
Nope! That's filtration filter paper, for a filter funnel. You need a syringe filter. Specifically this one (the other types and sizes don't work for oils). Search "1 micron glass fiber syringe filter" to find other smaller packs.
That’s actually pretty easy once you know what to do.
I use this syringe and these tips.
You can probably use a plastic one if it’s a one time thing. I believe CVS provides some at the pharmacy (assuming you have CVS in your area). Just avoid anything with lube since it will contaminate your oil.
Also, previously I suggested there shouldn’t be a problem slightly diluting with PG. I’ve done this in the past on a whim and didn’t have any issues, but another Redditor brought up how that could be dangerous. I’d listen to them, seeing as I haven’t actually researched what byproducts come from heating PG too high.
I’ve done as small as around a gram in a small glass jar.
Here are the syringes. MyMed 10 Pack Borosilicate Glass... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CTMVF85?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I’ll actually pop them into the heater fridge too for like 5min before using them, and once I’ve filled the tanks I’ll put the cap on them and put them into the heater fridge for ~5min to help them wick.
Hahah it’s such a nice little beaker though!!
I was thinking something like this? It’s 25ml, but, it’sore on the skinny size than flat/short. The width I believe is 1.3 inches and I bought a pack of magnetic stirrers that comes with a 1/2 inch stirrer, 3/4 inch stirrer, and 1 inch stirrer, so all 3 should fit nicely inside to mix.
Does this sound good or do you have other recommendations? First time doing this haha.
Here's the one I used. Look inside and make sure there are no black spots. Then keep it in the fridge. I used about 10 drops per ml, but I think it all depends on the starting material. Always trial and error for me until I get it right. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZZBJBCT/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_00SQCTW7H2M4GHNNMR2Q
I would suggest using UVC light to disinfect carts before use, that is how the top-tier factories are sanitizing carts before shipment. You can buy a cheap cell-phone UVC light sanitizer (perfect for a few carts) from Amazon for $80, link below:

Alcohol will degrade the glue, plastic, or rubber in many of these cheap carts, possibly leaching contaminants into the tank, and ultimately, into your oil...would be a shame if you contaminate clean oil trying to save $2-$3 on an empty vape cart.
Refilling vape carts is no problem as long as you can stand the decline in flavor and performance, but do not attempt to clean carts with a solvent, there are just too many unknown materials in generic carts that could become unstable and leach.
Lastly, for all you 510 DIYer's out there, stock up now on 510 carts...the Vape Mail Ban is going into effect soon (March 28th), and it will be MUCH harder to source small quantities of 510 carts online, especially as an end-user.
Decided it’d be a lot easier and worth $20 to get an IR Thermometer so I got this one on day prime shipping 👏🏻
Believe my terps get here on Wed which is the last thing I’ll need so I’ll try and make one Wednesday depending on when it comes in but if not, probably the weekend!

>specifically this one
As in 25mm or 1.0um? Found this one that is a 10 pack of 25mm but it’s only 0.22um
Also do I need a specific type of syringe? Kinda just bought these on a whim cause I was high and excited 💀 comes with small and bigger ones. only $8 tho so If I need a different type it’s not like I’ll be out much $$ that would be awesome to know, thanks for the help
I bought this one from amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X1YZ7NY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I have used it yet but it looks like the dispensary distillate syringes and it’s good build quality. There’s also this one https://cart.farm/shop/cartridge-filling-capping/cart-gardener-micro-scale-filling-kit/ just select “no carts” if you want the syringe only.
