Favorite filter

[Nycjuice]

Tired of syringe filters, too loose n they leak to tight n they crack.

Willing to step it up and vacuum filter but unsure what brand to use. Do you have a favorite bottle top or complete unit? Any brand in particular I should stay away from?

Looking on amazon and other "supply" sites finding filter materials confusing.
Tried reading about different filter materials but honestly they all sound the same to me. Any material I should stay away from
With high concentrations of BB?

Are these all usable?
nylon
SFCA membrane
PES
Cellulose nitrate (CN) membrane

Thought I read somewhere on here (can't find it) to stay away from the NALGENE company that their products crack?
Any experience with Corning's products?

Whatman is the best.
Nylon is the least problematic.
Only use nylon if you are using EO oil.
EO oil will melt all other types of filters.

I used the Millipore Stericup with PVDF and was pretty happy. I did crack one, but the design didnt allow for the liquid to spill out. I have been making bigger batches and its is VERY nice to slam out 500ml of test in one shot instead of killing your fingers with syringe filters.
