I’m having the hardest time pinning lately and I’m not exactly sure what the problem is. Pushing the plunger in requires so much damn force that I’m sweating. It’s extremely difficult to push it in, it feels like it’s stuck but it does eventually go in.
It takes over a minute of hard pushing to get 1cc in. I recently switched to a smaller gauge draw needle, I’m not sure if that creates some sort of extra pressure in the syringe. It’s also colder outside, sometimes my oils are sitting in an area that’s chilly. I did heat up my syringe a bit on one of my last pins but it didn’t help much, although I didn’t heat it up that much. I’m guessing it has to do with being cold but I figured I’d post here and see what other say.


Anybody else have this problem before and know the solution?
