So, I have this empty (used) vial that is from my prescription test-e. Can I re-use/refill that vial with some of my other gear without worrying about contaminantion or nasty stuff? I will be using the same stuff, test-e, just a different strength, going from 200mg/ml to 250mg/ml. The reason I ask this is because I am going to be traveling and if I have the bottle w/ the script on it and the pinz I need, I should get no hassle from TSA Nazis.
If this is good to go and I can refill a spent vial, how many times could or should I do this before using another one?
Thanks, Bros!!

Sure bro, as long as everything is sterile...swab the tops, etc. Just remember, the more times you draw from a vial, the weaker the stopper top will be. I wouldn't reuse them more than once.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

interesting...
I had a top on one start leaking during the second use because of all the holes, but it was a 30ml vile and I was hittin it ed on some tren so the top got a lot more use than normal. That's like using from a 15ml vile 1x ed and refilling it 4x. Twice on a smaller vile should be no prob.
This is a no brainer, but I would avoid punching the top in the same place each time if I could that way you don't pin cushion one spot with damage and open up a larger hole that won't seal when you're tryin to get your draw.
I wouldnt refill it more than once because of all the holes that are gonna end up in it the stopper will probably get worn and leak.
Here is another suggestion. I dont know what the tops look like on a script vial, I assume they are an aluminum ring with a gray or red rubber stopper. You could get a crimper and some flip tops and just tear the original off the vial and then refill with whatever you are gonna put in it and then just recap it and rip the plastic top off and there you go a new stopper and aluminum ring on your old vial, like new.

Yep, bump the crimper and new seals. The only thing there is you need to sterilize each time before you fill it.

that would be hard to do, since I presume the reason you want to do this is to have a legitimate label. Most good sterilization techniques would destroy the label...making the whole process pointless. Way more trouble than it's worth.

This is true, the label will be destroyed when sterilized.

I personally would not reuse a vial. i would use different gear and save that vial for when you travel.
