    Usually just run it under the spigot at the hottest possible(100-120F), does the trick.

    Sworder...I don't heat my gear, I think it's stupid. Plain and simple, and the way alot of ppl are even attempting it is unsafe and unsanitery.

    I am trying to make a point that most ppl's tap water would not get hot enough to be able to warm the vial and warm through the oil and maintain a viscosity change long enough to make a damn bit of difference. hell consider that if you DO warm the vial under tap water (which probably isn't hot enough to change the viscosity of the oil in the first place), by the time you draw and pin it will have colled down enough that it is right back where you started.

    To those that believe this cuts down on the time it takes to push oil through the pin....add up the time you wasted with this heating nonsense!
