Who hear mixes suspensions with oil base? I find that if I mix the 2 together that it’s less likely to clog the pin, never had any issues but seems many people are dead against it?
 
I'm dead against it. Not to say I've never done it. But all you have to do is a grade 3 science experiment. Take a glass and mix oil and water and watch is separate. Then picture this happening inside your muscle.
 
Suspensions nowadays seem to be more refined and less likely to clog.
However, with non micronized suspensions I’ve used in the past I’d always add .1-.2ml of oil to the syringe to prevent clogged especially when shooting “downhill”. The hub of the needle was less likely to clog by adding a small amount of oil.
I mostly use test base now and rarely use the traditional water based suspensions.
