    Slin Pin and 25g needle

    can you screw a 25 gauge needle onto an insulin syringe? As in pull with the slin pin and shoot with a 25g. It's annoying to pull .4mL on a 3mL syringe so I want to use a slin pin that's only 1mL

    Why not pull and inject with a 25?

    yea sure, that works too. I just want to know if needles are interchangeable between regular syringes and slin pins, or if they are a different thread or something

    Slin pins are metric. And syringes are not. So no they are not interchangeable.

    Unless you buy the conversion kit.

    Thanks. Never used slin pins so I didn't want to buy them and have it be a waste of money

    Unless you're administering your hCG IM, you'll need to stock up on slin pins.

    Have fun trying to draw your gear with a slin pin. Just get some reading glasses.
