As an ex-junkie (18 years clean, beeaaaach!), this method can cause what's known as "cotton fever" Little particles of the cotton get into the blood....some nasty ass shit. I got it using slin pins.And as motodawg said, a larger gauage needle just increases the risk. DO NOT USE THIS METHOD!
Use a filter.

i was gonna say that. i've heard cotton fever is a real nightmare, but i think you can only get that from shooting in a vein.. and whatman filters DO NOT filter out bacteria..only particulates and impurities. do you know how small bacteria is??? plus a whatman filter holds like 2 cc's anyway, you'de be wasting alot of gear. i don't see why you need to filter out of amps anyway, i've never had a problem with broken glass in the amp.....maybe if you're using a hammer to open them or something.....

Why not just make a filter out of toilet paper and rubber bands? Why would cotton gauze trap any tiny particles, that can fit through a tiny needle already? If something went up that 23g pin, you think some q-tip is going to clean it up? I wouldn't rely on that, ever....

what's a whatman?

There should be no bacteria in your gear due to the fact you have Benzyl Alcohol in your gear to keep it sterile.Hope that helps

this is the method crackheads use to filter out the solid particles after cooking up heroin or a pill....such as crushing an OC and cooking it....it is in no way sterile as you put the cotton in your fingers didn't you? and it will not filter any bacteria.....probably just add bacteria.

a whatman is a micronized filter used when filtering oils after you make a steroid....used in the conversion process. it filters out bacteria its such a fine filter....but would be useless in filtering just 1 or 2 cc's because that much would be lost in the filter

I'd rather put bacteria in me than heroin... crazy shit man...

This is just a tip I got from a junkie friend of mine.

Pinch some cotton off the top of a q-tip and roll it up into a ball and use that as a filter...make sure everything is sterile and your hands are washed. I figure it can be useful to draw out of an amp that my have slivers of glass that fall back into the amps when you opened them. Always have a dedicated drawing needle too...

Just an idea!

That is an extremely bad and dangerous suggestion.

Yeah I thought i'd run by you guys to see what you guy thought. I did mention that the idea came from a junkie. I know that I've had to draw out of amp that had slivers in them and I could have use this idea AS A LAST RESORT FOR A FILTER!!!

I figured i put this idea out there and get some feedback and criticism!!!

Consensus : BAD IDEA!!!!
Thanks fellas
