Using a Autoject with Edex

While awaiting for my 1st Edex order I've been viewing their instructional and it looks like it's a dry powder that gets mixed in the syringe somehow. Can that cartridge then be used on an autoject? I'm fine with shots at the office but stabbing myself is a bit Harakiri to me.

No I don't think you can do that although I never tried.
Bad information to follow:
You can mix the juice as directed in the Edex kit and then remove the needle and then use another Autoject appropriate syringe and draw the meds out through the original Edex needle attachment point. Initially you do have to attach the Edex needle so that you can expel air as you are combining the liquid and dry compartments of the Edex kit. When I had a stronger Edex cartridge than necessary, I did that and froze the unused juice for the next dose. The supplied literature is fairly clear in stating that you shouldn't do that. So, let me be clear that I'm not suggesting you do that. Always consult with your doctor and follow his/her advice.
Edited to fix typo.

Too much room for error. I'll just man-up.

Not really. It would be pretty simple and only a couple of extra steps.
