    is it suitable for gear sterilization ?

    So Ok I'm so scared about abscess I will sterilize my gear. Even if I'm sure about source. My mother is a former nurse, she has a kind of sterilizer like seen on picture. I think it's sterilization with water evaporation, not sure.

    My vials are very small 1ml vials with rubber top. how can sterilize them with this sterilizer ? just put them inside and wait ?
    the vial glass won't break ?

    I can't help you out with the operation of the sterilizer, but I will state (and it's just my opinion) that I believe more infections/abscesses are caused by poor injection practices than dirty gear.

    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
    A minimum of 100 posts and 45 days membership required for source checks. Source checks are performed at my discretion.

    Let me get this right...you want to sterilize your gear with a water evaporation sterillizer?

    agreed 100%.
    If you use good gear and use safe practices that's all you need to do. I've cycled for years with a multitude of gear and no abcess. Just do it right and don't overthink it.
