Thread: How do you guys draw from more than one vial?

Yes

yes what?

use seperate needle and syringe to pump air into second vial and then stick the original (first) pin in to draw...

needles and shit are cheap...but this is just my guess...

Air into the first, none into the second. I just make sure I hold the plunger back so oil #1 isn't injected into vial #2.

yeah, I thought bout that. was just kinda hoping someone would say that they never push air first and have no problems. much easier this way, just worry bout having trouble drawing oil. My wife is an RN and although she doesn't use many multi-use vials, she never pushes air first.

awesome, thanks! that's what i wanted to hear. I'll probably switch which bottle I draw from first each time too.

I always draw my test first and my second compound next. Just makes it easier. I have the exact same routine every time I pin.

Yes push air, the shits hard enough to get out without creating a vacuum. If you are worried about mixing over draw some air and only push the amount you mean to draw.

I've found that dp's test is extremely easy to draw compared to my previous lab. it's a profound difference. I'm gonna try without pushing air and see how it goes.

do you find that it gets harder to pull from the bottle of your second compound as you get to the end of the bottle?

I also draw with a 20g, inject w 23 g.

I draw with an 18g and pin with a 23g.

Never really noticed to be honest.

Your'e on your way, good luck

Draw from multiple vials with a 21 ga. Then pin with either a 22 ga. 1-1/2" if 3 ccs or 23 ga. 1" if less than 3 ccs. I like to pin deeper if pinning a volume of 3 ccs or more in order to ensure deep deposit of all the gear.

If drawing from new vial, you'll be virtually unable to plunge any air into it because it is already full of pressure (or at least it should be). As the gear is depleted, it can be helpful to add some air to help speed up the draw process.

I actually draw with an 18g pin and I don't have to pump air in at all. The smaller gauge needles make it a little tougher to draw, however using an 18g is like using a garden house. Then I switch to a 23g or 25g.

This^^^

thank you everyone. I'll start pushing air into first vial, none into second.

I thought that others would have already posted this, but I purchased some extra 10ml and 20ml sealed sterile vials with my pins which I use to premix into.

One other thing I do is that when I remove oil from a vial to create my premix, that vial will become my next premix vial.

Make sure you use alcohol wipes on all vials.

Hmm, not a bad idea.
