A bit more on Vials, Filling, and Milking

The capacity of vials for milking is also increased to 150 sips
for non-artefact vials and 220 for artefact vials.

Some have thought that artefact vials (now at 240, vs 200 for
non-artefact vials) are less of a value now. Consider it this
way - the big win is that EACH FILL in an artefact vial still
creates a lot more - 100 or 110 sips, where non-artefact vials
are filled each time for 50-60 sips. So artefact vials are still
a great deal easier on your pocket book.

Note that for FILLS from a pot, it is impossible to overfill a
vial. If, for example, you have a non-artefact vial being
filled by a trans refiller, each fill adds 60 sips. After
three fills, the vial will have 180 sips in it. If you try to
fill again, you simply won't be able to.

How to get the vial above 180 sips? Simply use POUR - as in
POUR othervial INTO thisvial. POUR ... INTO will fill a vial
right up to the brim without ever spilling a drop or losing
any contents at all. So if you really must fill right up to
the 200 sip max, great, use POUR ... INTO and enjoy.
