    You can do that. But, i would recommend you use separate pins for drawing and injecting since the pin will be dulled (blunt) from pushing through the rubber stopper. Dull = pain.!!!

    It will be a pain in the ass but it can be done... I wld warm the test up first in some hot water to help.... I always draw with a 21 g pin and shoot with 25g....

    I use a 18 gauge to pull, after i push the air into the vial, it automaticlly fill the syringe in 10 seconds, fast and simple..But i do know people that pull and inject with the same pin like 4 times because they cant get pins or syringes, because they are married, cant get it delivered to their houses, i usally, give them syringes,( its just crazy using the same pin 4 times, ) i buy them by the hundreds, they are real cheap , and to pull with a 25 g pin must take forever..

    I m confused... are u asking if u can use the same pin or two seperate pins but both 25g? I wldn't use the same pin to pull and inject... as for 18g being great... they are but the not also.... I shoot everyday and draw from a 100ml vial... if I used 18g pins there wld be nothing left of my stopper by the time I got half way done with my vial....

    on oil based gear i pull with a 22 and shoot with a brand new 22.i find that the 25 is to hard to push with oil.but always use new needle when pushing.you would not believe how dull a needle gets pushing it through a rubber stopper 1 time.ouch!

    If you are asking if you can draw using a 25 guage needle, you can, but that would take forever to fill the syringe with anything oil based. I would use a 18/20 guage to draw and 23/25 guage to inject.

    Yeah on a 100 ml bottle your gonna f#ck up the rubber with an 18g pin, if you got the time and patience, use a 22, 23 ,gauge to pull, and then switch pins to inject, i would imagine that the rubber would be a mess half way through, not to mention that maybe towards the end of the bottle you might start gettin rubber in the pin. good luck bro.

    I use 18g to draw and dont have any problems. Takes about 5 seconds to load.

    just a little confused. Are you guys saying that it is harder for oil based to fill the syringe that it is for it to inject out of the syringe? In other words if a 25g takes so long to fill up, wouldn't it take long to inject also??? Its late, I am tired and may not be thinking clearly THANKS

    it takes alot longer to draw oil based gear with a 25g then it does to inject... it slows u down some but that is a good thing... keeps u from injecting too fast.... I can shoot 3 cc's with a 25g pin in under 45 seconds though... so it's not that bad...
