Using same pin to pull gear out of Vial

Whats up guys? A buddy of mine asked me a question and I didn't want to give him the wrong answer...he wants to know if it is ok to use the same pin to pull from the vial everytime and just switch to a new pin to inject....I told him no because of sterility....but it makes me think, if he just cleans it with alcohol before it might be ok....since ur not using that pin to inject....let me know what you guys think....THanks!

I dont know really about the sterility..Ive actually thought about it before but the $6.00 or whatever I ended up saving didnt really weigh as much as the pus I imagined being drained from my leg so I opted for the $6.00

well it's not so much the money, but the dart will actually get dull and this my friend will hurt more and make it more difficult. $13 for 100 darts is not that much

The inside of vials and ampules are surgically sterile, so are needles right out of the pack.
While it may sound like a good idea it really is not as the cotton balls and alcohol are not sterile sitting in ones bathroom.
He's thinking way too much.
