Heating a multi use vial

[TylerT]

Is that safe to do? Last time I heated the oil in the syringe, and the damn thing just floated in the water. I'd really like to hear how some of y'all heat your oil before injecting, I'm gonna try the glute this time instead of the quad. I wanna be able to work legs at some point

I put the 10ml vial in a cup of just boiled water, for about 5 minutes.

During warmer months I throw it on a heating pad. . .during warmer months I set it on top of my baseboard heater.

I just fill the syringe with the oil.. run it under the faucet for 2 minutes as hot as the water goes.. it gets plenty hot.. steam comes off the water before it hits the sink.

I don't heat... I just use a bigger gauge to pull from the vial then switch off the needle to inject... and lately, I've just been injecting with the big needle b/c I have like a hundred big ones and 5 little ones... (18 gauge - 23 gauge)

any benifits to heating besides reducing viscosity?

Dont think so.

Yea i agree - i just put it in a cup of boiling water for 5 min.

It helps a lot especially when your using test 400

Dont think so.

Not completely true. . .sometimes you can reduce the "bite" of prop by poking a pin in the top of the vial and then baking it for a few minutes to reduce the BA content.

I dont think that really works, and most pain is not caused by BA anyway.

Exact same thing that I do and it works great. It goes in much easier due to the decrease in the viscosity.
