Oh, and this is why I suggested that he autoclave the oil once its in the vials, since I don't trust his aseptic transferring skills, nor his sketchy gear (I don't know of any manufacturer who uses that type of packaging that I would trust).
    I understand what you are saying, this is my first pin cycle so im alittle paranoid and just wanna get exact answers. I think I will stick to what you said and just use a 21 gauge for the entire process and possibly swap out needles to be more cautious. When I bake it how long should I allow the vial to sit before I rebake i for the next time. Also the proper temperature is 250 correct? Lastly since I am baking it is using a filter necessary or can filtering be used instead of baking.

    I NEVER said to bake it. I said autoclave (pressure cook) which is much safer, since you can't exceed 252 F. Ovens are unreliable.
    Ideally, you should draw up all the packets (of the same type) into a 60ml syringe, then use a caulk gun to filter the oil into the vial with a .22um syringe filter. If you do this, you could just let it sit for a week so that the BA kills anything that makes it through without worrying about heat-sterilizing.
