When I read up about it, yes, pulling lube and blowing lube are different and you'll get different results. Microduct 
blowing lube is yet another difference.

The pulling lube does not work well IMO, the blowing lube made a huge difference.

Another Jared with a question. What method did you use to blow the fiber through the conduit? You mentioned you had 
trouble figuring out the process relating to lubrication and building a contraption to blow the fiber. 

You need the conduit lube. The duraline summer blowing lube worked well for me.
