Injecting air bubbles

xonic2xonic · Sep 6, 2002

OK, I know you are supposed to make sure there are no airbubbles when you inject.

BUT, you are injecting IM not IV so if you shot some air in would it be any big deal?

I guess it's kind of a stupid risk to take, but I was thinking that the ammount of juice that gets wasted if you are doing say 1cc of 75mg/cc or tren ED is a few days worth and I am so cheap, I was thinking add a tiny bit of air at the top so that it blows out whats left in the pin.

Please no flame

I'm not expert on the subject, but, I would definitely not add air in an IM injection.

if you get an air bubble in a vein you die..period. Dont chance its not worth risking your health for the sake of a little gear.

Bullshit. I have gotten those little airbubbles in a syringe before while taking IV NSAI drugs, and it did nothing. It would take 3cc's of air to kill someone given as an IM injection.

The others are correct, it takes a hell of a lot of air to kill you. I personally want to get as much out as possible but, if you're more concerned with wasting gear, then there is a process call airlocking. Do a search on it.

dont wory you cheap bastard. letting oil run down the needle first is not realy a waste it lubes the needle so it will go in much easier

I like to lick it off because I am conservative and just to "taste" the juice.

Don't worry even three cc's of air injected into the left testicle won't hurt as long as you asperiate.

You don't die....as Zerxes said it take a lot more than a few bubbles to kill someone....

Leaving a bubble in on purpose is SOP. It's called the air lock technique. It's how I was taught to inject and I prefer it to the alternate Z-track method. No wasted gear and less leakage. I inject about 1/4 cc of air per cc of solution.

Here is your answer.............. This is all you need to know.....
Never intentionally add air bubbles! Suck all the juice up into the syringe along with sucking up some air just to make sure you get all the juice out of the amp. Then flick it etc to make sure there is absolutely No air at all in the syringe, then squeeze the plunger until you see a bead at the tip of the syringe, but dont let it slide downlet the plunger automatically suction the tiny bead back into the syringe so that the whole syringe AND needle tip is full of juice with NO air in it at all. Then stick it in your ass, pull back until you see a little air bubble enter the syringe, then push until it is all gone. The little air bubble you suck out of your ass and into the syringe is all you need to puch all the juice out of the pin at the end.

a few air bubbles,lol.when i inject i leave about 1/4cc between the top of the syrenge and the oil.this insures you get all the juice,just remember to asperate.otherwise you waste juice.

A quote from that link you posted.

Injection sites

Taylor et al (1993) recommend the rotation of sites if a series of injections is to be administered, in order to reduce the risk of local reaction.

IM injections should be given into the upper outer quadrant of either the thigh or buttock, into the gluteal muscles.

What, no spotinjections?

Air bubbles are harmless, they just diffuse into the adjacent tissue within your muscle. If they can take oil, they can easily take some air. Never wasted a thought on that.

If the tiny layer of bubbles you get from aspirating aren't enough, then just forget the juice and start injecting air into your muscles... I heard guys are getting huge off it!
