Don't forget a 5 or 10ml push tube and sterile vials. And don't get the cheap generic syringe filters. Stick with Whatman. I've had the cheaper brands membranes break during filtration

Whatman filter and you'll be fine.

I actually (until recently) used to run EVERY UGL through a whatman before pinning. Some called me paranoid but I am careful with what I put into my body! It's not a big deal to keep some whatmans, along with sterile vials and some 5 or 10ml push tubes around. It was worth it to me for the reason Hollywood mentioned. It's the black market. Most try to keep things immaculate but sometimes shit happens. If something like this makes you nervous then do as I used to do. As for going back to the source with an issue like this, I think it's fair to mention it to them so they can attempt to straighten it out for you as well as be sure they are more careful next time. This isn't exactly wal-mart! You can assume things like this will happen from time to time

That is gross as fuck. I would contact my supplier and ask for a new one. If he refuses I would take a pic and make sure anyone who ever searches the brand will find it.

Sure, the whiney noobie approach... OR you can just handle it and push it through a filter... This is UG guys... Not condoning it but IT HAPPENS!

What is wrong with someone who is making money off gear fixing their mistake? I mean we are not talking about a bag of weed with a hair, we are talking injectibles.

Bro, this is the black market so YES it is like a bag of weed... your not gonna go to your SRC with a receipt and ask for your money back. Agreed some SRCs will try and make things right and go the extra mile (out of fear that someone will start trolling them) but the reality of this game is this... Its a gamble everytime so if you want to be 100% sure about what your getting the spend the extra money on Pharma (and you STILL can't be 100% you won't get screwed)

I see your point. What I mean by it is not like a bag of weed is that, I assume, they would not have a few friends around and prepare the juice in a house with dogs running around. Maybe I just spoiled by the sources that I have dealt with over the years but I am confident, based on the reports of others, that everything would be made right If I found a foreign object in my juice. You are right on with not being sure about pharma-grade. I was reading about drug companies that are doing things that Eroids would not begin to tolerate from suppliers, including intentional acts:

I see your point. I probably wouldn't threaten my source with posting pics...I just feel like I shouldn't order gear, then have to buy filters and filter it. But then, I shouldn't have to hide and take risks with my freedom regarding my own personal decisions. Point taken!

Whatman syringe filter. a .45 will do. Check an accessories shop brother, they're cheap. Get yourself some gso as well so you dont lose any gear. The whatman will hold 2ml and you will need the same amount of extra oil to push through at the end. Buy some sterile vials as well
