Just tried the "Bubble Method" for injecting

[High-Jacked]

Teh "bubble method" was from a post a few days back, where you leave about 1/4 cc of air in the syringe so you can get every drop off gear out of the syringe rather than having some stay in the needle.

The only thing that made me nervous was that when I tried to aspirate I think the air bubble in the syringe wasn't allowing the needle to aspirate correctly. Usually I can feel suction when I pull back and a bubble will come into the syringe, but this time nothing happened, no blood or bubble? I pulled back atleast .3-.5 cc's?????

Also, when I was pressing the plunger to inject the gear, it felt harder to get the gear to go through the needle? Maybe the air made some give on the plunger, or maybe I hit scar tissue???

BUT all the gear came out of the needle!

I've been using the bubble method for long time. It just makes sense to do so, if you don't want to waist any of your gear. Glad to know I'm not the only one doing this, and I'm not totally crazy.

I'm not familiar with this method post a link. I'm assuming it just involves leaving a small amount of air in the needle prior to injecting. If so, I already do that. Even if you didn't aspirating would cause air to be drawn into the syringe prior to injecting. Clear this up for me guys.

Is it true that if you pump air into a vein that you will die? in this token if you leave a bubble of air and do not aspirate for whatever reason, and inject directly into a blood vessel could you really die?

or nevermind that complex situation, is it true that pumping air into a vein can or will kill you?

how much gear can you actually waste.....maybe 2% of so of a ml??? i'll still get the air out of my shots first...but thats just me

unless you have parkinsons disease i don't think the bubble method is really necessary IMO

LOL....to save 3 drops of gear...LOL

I've never heard of this. Can someone post a link that explains this method. I don't know if the little bit left in the syringe can actually make a signifcant impact on the effectivenss of the injection. It sounds like the risk of leaving air in the syringe outweighs any benefit associated with this method.
