New bottle or you've been using it? Could be condensation inside the bottle from use.Loaded up to pin today and thought these were bubbles, so I pointed the syringe up to push them out and they sank to the bottom. Oil that didn’t mix? Never seen this before. Chime in someone....

Is there any more in the vial or just in that syringe?
thats deff water,, Id just toss it.. it happens man.. its only test!
Id say it’s almost half gone.
The rest of the bottle looks fine.
So should I just toss it and start fresh? I’m not pressed for it.

Never had it happen to me. So I'm curious how this happens....an honest question and not pointing fingers.thats deff water,, Id just toss it.. it happens man.. its only test!
How do you keep the deer from eating all of those hostas?

Worth contacting the seller? That's a reputable brand he's holding...

Yeah you would've seen it in the vial when you got it. Would've been very noticable. Probably just from pulling moisture in from the surrounding airI dont think it is on the seller unless you get the vial and notice of bunch of it in there. Probably more so condensation and how it was stored. He said halfway gone so he would have noticed before using half of it.
It can happen a few ways.. now, Im not suggesting this is the case, but when some guys clean their beakers they dry?sterilize them in the oven and at times they take them out when they are not fully dry and micro bubbles/drops are on the beakers, so when they mix the raw/oil the water droplets get trapped, and this is a result, even when it reaches the melting point and mixed it can still have this issue..

I like that English garden you have going there the Boxwoods and the Hostas are very nice mix

wow, I Love your natural preserve style backyard...there is nothing like that in my area, how far from the city do you have to live for that view to be a reality?
15 miles out from the city.

Just water - was quite normal in the old day when we got gear in Mexico- just toss it -OD

it very well may not hurt you considering the solvents that are in there, but its not something you want to see on a mass production scale..
Random but....
Thoughts on putting vial in a hot water bath with syringe tip in rubber stopper? Should allow the oil to heat and the water to escape out of the vial.
Just a thought, I could be way off base here.

I originally was going to suggest this to him, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, but after I seen his reply that he's not in a pinch I refrained from suggesting it. It sometimes works and at other times it doesn't, the viscosity/weight of the carrier oil also plays a factor..
A good example would be when there's a good amount hormone in a beaker with this exact instance and it's placed under 215-220'ish degrees, and it's occasionally stirred with a glass rod even then it could sometimes prove to be difficult to remove.. by theory in chemistry it makes perfect sense, but the reality it doesn't always work out that way. It's hit or miss.. this is the reason why it's extremely important for the boys in the kitchen to be aware of their surroundings with any cross-contamination and other factors such as this. It doesn't take much even with microdroplets that're unseen with the naked eye the beaker can be piping hot and people could still assume it's ready to go (that's in the event if they were going through a sterilization process) unbeknownst to them there was still moisture present and blammo you can get a reaction like this..
For educational purposes the original poster could crank up his convectional oven at 215'ish, vent the vial, place it on a tray with the door slightly open, swirl the vial occasionally, and see what happens.. if it's going in the garbage he might as well do a little chemistry, he owes it to himself to see if it works or not. At this point what does he have to lose?!?!
