    pins??

    how often do people use one pin? Do you use once and dispose or do you use more?

    You should only use a pin 1x, reguardless of what for. Not only does it lose its sterility, its loses its edge (sharpness). Even for drawing, it is possible to contaminate your gear that way. They are cheap, and you can even get them free at a needle exchange.
