I gotta say this, with no disrespect to anyone, but how is it difficult for anyone to understand what is going on to a certain extent. Yes putting blood into a cooker is horrible practice, yet if you don't want to waste your shoot and your sick, damn well know your gonna if your rig is clogged and the plunger won't go down. As for the clotting, I highly doubt "vodka" is the issue, where is alcohol thins your blood if anything, I truly hope you dont have a history of dvt's and not know it. Have either one of you had any surgeries, broken bones, major injuries? You might need to get your PTInR evaluated, though that maybe worst case scenario. from the data you have given us i would concur REDHAND... think he hit the nail on the head, though I don't have any formal doctorate yet so BE CAREFUL no matter who's advice you take. I just had this same issue myself, i have thin and rolling viens, and going in the hand with unideal tips, i continuously reregister when im in to ensure i dont miss half way down, which has unfortunately happen.
though the practice of re-filtering in the cooker with blood, knowing there was a clot in there, is so fucking bad, and im not preaching cause i dont it, but i promise you , i thought of just tossing the shot out like damn near every second, its just so dangerous, if even the tiniest clot was'nt filtered out due to you using a gauge that allowed a piece through with poor filtering, your dead, im dead, anyone who else has and does do this is DEAD, simple!!!
In conclusion, imho I'm with the shaking tech., your quality has nothing to do with clotting, someone mentioned the cut, unless your not filtering and allowing cut in, I dont see how its feasible at the point either, vodka yeah NO, and unless you have an issue with your PTInR levels and need to be on blood thinners, than i think your questioned has already been answered fo sho
