How do you guys aspirate?

[Ulter]

You only need to pull back slightly on the plunger. Most nurses just flick it. You don't NEED to see bubbles. If you're in a vein the barrel will fill very quickly with blood due the blood pressure in the vein. It's VERY difficult to shoot into a vein. But you should still aspirate.

i always inject in glutes but my next cycle i will be on eod injectin and quads will be a must.I never aspirate, all i dont is stick wait about 10 sec and inject slowly. What do i need to do for quads

I always aspirate... I have hit or knicked veins too many times.. shit i have tried one side of arse aspirated saw blood, then figured try other side hit vein.. changed pin size and did quad.. no joke.. that was only once but the moral of the story is ASPIRATE

Yes just keep in mind what the whole point of aspirating is for.
To know whether or not you are about to inject into a vein.
You do not have to pull back very hard at all to know if you are in a vein or not, as others have mentioned, blood will come back up and into the syringe with minimal effort.

I have not hit a vein yet, and don't plan to, but aspirating is so easy,..why not aspirate?

Ok guys quick question, hate to hijack this thread but you know how it goes.

What if you do see blood when you aspirate, is that gear unusable? Is it sanitary reinjecting your own blood after you change injection site to miss the vein?

It is a little harder to aspirate while injecting into your glutes..but trust me bro..had you injected into a vein...you would know..

You would know. I have hit a vein twice and the shut just fills with blood. Like everyone else, look for air or even a clear of milky liquid in the syringe. A vein will fill it with blood.

Absolutely. It came out of you, why would it be unsanitary to put it back in you??? I mean unless you are taking the pin out then squirting all the stuff in the syringe into a pile of shit and then sucking it back up and then injecting it back into yourself, then it is unsanitary.

It is just like air, I always leave a little air in the syringe and inject until the air goes into the needle that way I get all the gear into myself. Injecting a little bit of air is not going to hurt you.

wtf you inject air into, you can that

Yeah you can. When you aspirate you get some air bubbles out, depending on how much you pull out, but regardless, i'll always leave about 1/4cc of air in the syringe when injecting to make sure I get all the oil in, I dont like to waste anything, and when I see all the gear go into the pin I wait for the speed of the plunger change so I know I got all the gear in and stop injecting.

Wow, that sounds crazy.
I'm not going to "start" injecting air into myself, but at least I wont be as concerned about it if it does happen.

I dont like wasting anything either but I wouldnt do that. I mean its not a big deal but I wouldnt. Why dont you just leave the needle in the vial after you draw out the AS and then flick the syringe and pump out extra back into the vial without ever taking the pin out of the vial. That way all the air is out, and all the excess AS is in the vial. Guess it wouldnt work for amps if thats the case.
