should I trash my home brew?

[Vin2]

Hey guys,

Idk if this is normal or not but I'm running my own brew of prop and I am using a 25g to draw up outta the vial...slow, but works...my issue hete is when I draw up the gear, it stops drawing up about half a cc into the syringe....almost like when u pull back to aspirate....so I just inject a little bit of the gear back into the vial and finish drawing it up...when I do this the gear spits out into the vial and it looks like a cloudy trail coming from the needle but immediately dissolves with the rest of the oil...almost like I had to clear a clog from the needle because once I start drawing up again, all is well with no issues...why is this? Hope I was descriptove enough to paint the picture

Two things:

1) Are you drawing air FIRST to prevent a vacuum from being created in the vial? I know this might seem obvious, but I've done it before when I was half asleep. If you don't draw air to displace the volume of oil in the vial, it can do this.

2) Why are you using a 25g to draw? Pins are cheap, go buy some 18's or 20g's to draw. Makes life MUCH easier and your pins will be less painful as they remain sharp when you switch to the 25's.

The only explanation I have for what's going on is if you think about water being sprayed from a hose. It looks different, right? Same thing here I'd imagine. You're ejecting oil from the syringe at a relatively high pressure/velocity, hence the strange look. At least that's my guess.

Much easier to draw with a lower gauge number

If u filtered it properly I don't c how it could b particles. I'd say its vacuum and needle gauge like halfwit said.

I've over drawn and pushed the oil back in the vial many times. Using ugl gear not home brew but the same thing happenes, it's cloudy and looks like junk is going in the vial. I don't know why It happens but your not the only one. It does not stay cloudy and I've not had any issue with infection or crashed gear. Might be tiny air bubbles

I think the "cloudy" mixture that you're seeing going back into the bottle is actually tiny air bubbles that are created because you didn't inject the same amount of air into the bottle to offset the liquid you're withdrawing. It creates a vaccuum inside the syringe and the air starts coming in making little tiny bubbles.
