I know that sounds lame, but it probably goes back to the old expression, "Oil and water don't mix." It's standard practice in medicine that you don't do them in the same syringe at the same time. Another factor is that you normally use different size pins - 20 to 23 g. for oil-based and 25 g. for water based. (That's why, for test, it's usually recommended that you use a draw needle and switch to a different injection pin once you have drawn into the syringe, while you can draw and inject with the same needle for water-based gear).
ummmm...ok? I have talked to a few people in the medical field, and they say the same thing. Although no one knows why, and when they think about it, they say you should be able to. Of course oil and water don't mix, but they don't have to in this case, it'll all end up in the proper place. There's no point taking 2 shots when you can put it all in one syringe IMO. And i shoot all my oil base through a 25, so the pin size doesn't really have anything to do with it in my case. You just have to be careful when pushing the plunger when the oil switches to water, be ready for the water to inject much faster. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of why people say not too, if you check other boards, there's LOTS of people that have done it with NO problems whatsoever...
