Opioids Filtering Roxys (IR oxycodone)

[Tokes_Mgee]

Hey to all blue-lighters out there!
I just registered so be easy on the new guy here.
My question is how many times does any experienced roxy shooter filter their substance.
I know it's not good to not use a wheel filter, but I don't have any access to micron filters so I just cut off the tip of a q-tip and used that.
Thing is, since I am not using a micron filter, I am skeptical on how many times to filter with the q-tip. It seems like every time I re-filter, I loose some product.
I don't shoot really at all. This will be my 3rd time in about a month and a half.
Would it be okay to filter only once?
and are washes really needed?
Thanks for any help guys

Once, cotton filters are not good for anything more than removing the major particulate.

if you shoot so rarely, just get a micron. You lose 0 product. It's cleaner, more efficient, and safer.
