That said, depending on how new the vial is, you can typically expect around 70-100 billion cells.

Click to expand... your question makes no sense - you can make any starter size, but end cell count will depend on starter size, pitched cell count, stirring method, etc. http://www.yeastcalculator.com White Labs vials start at 100 billion cells when fresh, but that number decays as yeast gets older, with time constant of a few months.
