Sources selling sterile oil / filtering oil / re-vialing "unfinished oils"

[nolowt]

I have seen some sources that offering sterile oil that I assume is used for dilution purposes and this has led me down this particular rabbit hole. I know nothing about homebrewing but it seems to me that the sterility / bottling process is the most difficult and error prone step? I understand using sterile oil to cut down high potency oils, but in a way doesn't this defeat the entire purpose of high concentration?

The question is identical re: filtering oils (saw some discussion on this topic on other boards, people say they buy unfinished oils and individually filter and re-vial them up). I feel like there is something I am missing and no better place to put this question. This isn't something I am planning on doing myself so there is no pressing need here.

Sometimes people underestimate the bite of a high conc. oil and want to make it normal rather than toss it. Sometimes people want a lower conc. for females so they aren't drawing 5mg from 200mg/ml.

As for filtering, I think that's mostly for people buying bargain basement Chinese oils that are known for having floaters.

Just buy your own oil and a syringe filter.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, appreciate the replies and explanation. This is some great intel.

Just in the learning phase right now, sometimes you don't know what you don't know until you start doing research and asking questions! There is a lot of experience that I've been able to draw from
