Living in Australia, I am finding it hard to source empty vials.

Some questions for you all.

Where do you source your empty vials?

Do they require vacuum?

Is Alibaba trusted?

Do people crimp their own vials?

What's the difference between to 2 caps, I hear of a flip off or tear off caps?

I purchased some sterile vials, but it turned out there were not sealed, so they need to be crimped. I'm not wasting my time since I don't have the sterilization environment or know how to do it properly. So there are a lot of sources in Australia but they or mainly for labs to crimp themselves.

I have a whole 10pk I can't do anything with! Was trying to figure out why I ordered them. But I order from online pharmacies for all my needs
 
Also, make sure the ones you purchased are actually sterilized, those on Amazon and Alibaba aren't even tho they say otherwise.

You think someone would LIE? On the INTERNET?

The testing server ran a test on several from diff folks and diff vendors on Amazon and they came back sterile. I do believe they were all ks-tek brand (or whatever that brands called).

Yeah maybe, but they don't have certifications, they're just steamed, so I don't trust them, but each their own risk level on this

This isn't quite true, I have seen sterility tests done on vials from KS-Tek that passed USP <71> testing. 20 different vials from ~15 donors, so it wasn't a fluke. I was one of the donors.
 
thanks for the responses, everyone.

The sources you all posted seem like a great price until I go to shipping costs which then doubles or triples it.

The Arse end of the world is great for staying away from Nukes, but ma sterile vials man.

They still don't have any ISO certifications, they may be sterile and the ones you guys tested may be, but it's not a reference for the future

In any case, even as a Canadian vials are cheap, at 1 per week I didn't feel the need to cheap out on them

history is no guarantee for the future, yes. No one can predict the future, and I think that goes without saying.

But now you've moved the goalpost to ISO certification, versus your initial statement of "those on Amazon and Alibaba aren't even tho they say otherwise." That statement is wrong regarding the ones from Amazon.

They are not properly sterilized and that's true, the fact they are indeed sterile is surprising to me.

They only do steam sterilization, this isn't the "proper" way. That's how you do Masson jars lol

I will soon be out of empty, unused vials. It's time to buy new vials. I saw I had ordered vials twice before from Amazon. One of those times the vendor was KS-Tek. I'll reorder. Thanks for the information.

They're not? I just ordered from amazon. How can I tell?

I like ALK vials. They aren't the cheapest, but they meet all the requirements for a compounding pharmacy. https://www.farrislabs.com/products...V8V0NKnoHe0hJgaFulv4PySawG7k0ynIYn8UuEGuokejK
I like these except that they are slightly taller than standard vials. I had to get two boxes to store these separately than my 5ml vials.
