By now you’ve noticed that there are both small and large [[Skill_trading#Skill_Injectors|skill injectors]] on the market. What’s the difference? When you move 0.5M skill points into an extractor, it produces 1 large skill injector. That large injector can then be split into 5 small injectors by right-clicking it. But there’s no such thing as a small skill extractor. You can’t extract a small injector directly; it can only be produced by splitting a large injector.

By now you’ve noticed that there are both small and large [[Skill_trading#Skill_Injectors|skill injectors]] on the market. (Okay, there are also [https://secure.eveonline.com/alpha-injectors Daily Alpha Injectors], but those are the exclusive province of [https://www.ccpgames.com/ CCP Games] and can't be produced by players.) What’s the difference? When you move 0.5M skill points into an extractor, it produces 1 large skill injector. That large injector can then be split into 5 small injectors by right-clicking it. But there’s no such thing as a small skill extractor. You can’t extract a small injector directly; it can only be produced by splitting a large injector.

The good news is that the split is 100% efficient and complementary: 1 large injector with 0.5M skill points produces 5 small injectors with 0.1M skill points each, and 5 small injectors can be re-combined into 1 large injector. The same [[Skill_trading#Diminishing_returns|diminishing returns]] apply to the end users of both small and large injectors (based on the user’s total skill points). Even their physical volumes correlate: a large injector occupies 0.01 m<sup>3</sup> of space; each small injector occupies 0.002 m<sup>3</sup>.
