Leaky rubber stopper

[yelruP]

Just started using a new vial and after 4 pins with a 25g to draw the tops already leaking. Should I bring this up to the vendor, or just move on? I’ve never had this happen to me before, and the oil coming out of the vial when I draw now is adding up.

Mention it to the vendor but also worth naming them here so people know about this issue before potentially placing orders. The vial not sealing properly leads to lost product, but more importantly exposes it to contamination more so than normal.

Definitely bring it up with the source and see what they do to rectify the situation. I would transfer the oil to a new/different vial ASAP (even a used vial that doesn’t leak is better than a leaky one). Further, out of curiosity, do you always store your vials upright? Curious if it could be degraded by the oil/if you run risk of the stopper having leaked chemicals into your oil upon being degraded in the oil.

Yeah they’re always upright. I literally just got the vial last weds. I noticed some leaking yesterday but thought maybe it was just residual oil on the needle but today when I went to draw and put it upside down it started leaking not horribly but it was noticeable. I’m gonna email the vendor, I’m just gonna transfer it to a different vial as you said. I just don’t want it to seem like I’m trying to get free shit, I don’t even really want a replacement.

You may not want one, but you deserve one man. At least from my perspective you do. It would be different if this was an older vial, but from a week ago and with so few punctures just isn’t fair to you as a customer. I hope for the sources sake that it’s just a bad stopper in the bunch and not the entire pack they used on lord knows how many vials.

I’ve got quite a few vials from this source and it’s never happened. I’m gonna email him now and see what’s up. Thanks so much for the help

Sounds like it’s just a select bad stopper (optimistically hoping so as well). I’m sure your source will make it right and also appreciate you bringing it to their attention in a respectful manner. Don’t mention it, best of luck and please follow up with how it’s handled!

Talked to the vendor and he’s sending me a replacement without me even asking for one. I was afraid he would think I’m trying to get free shit out of him but he was really cool about it. He checked his personal stock and said they all seemed fine, so was probably just a faulty stopper.

Wow that is very cool. Sounds like a good vender that just had a mishap. Glad to hear your vender is doing this.

 

[system]

That’s awesome news. Happy to hear it was handled well and likely an isolated occurrence.

Same thing here had a total of 4 vials do this with a 25g pin. Just sent a video to the vendor.
Vials won't hold pressure at all it just bubbles out of the stopper and runs down the needle when drawing.

It’s definitely cheap or faulty stoppers. I’ve never had this happen again, and if you’re using 25g to draw there’s definitely something wrong there
