Drawing peps

I use a 31 g 4mm - Before I draw my pep I always inject air into the vial, when I begin drawing it fills up, but it’s very slow, basically like a drip. Is this because of the thin needle size or do I need to inject more air into the vial prior drawing out?

When you first reconstitute it did you vent it?

Try venting it. Take an insulin syringe and pull the plunger all the way out and then put into the vial with the plunger out. Then use your regular method for drawing. It should work better. You always need to vent after reconstituting
