Poor man's syringe filter

[supra5469]

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!

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 would be really cautious doing that with a larger gauge, could pull a sliver of the cottonball-q-tip in with gear then you risk infection, sin pin less likely, best bet a whatman

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.
