Needle Aspiration ?

[houseofpain]

I read through spotinjection.com's FAQ and didn't quite understand the "aspiration" part.

Apparently aspiration is done by pulling the plunger back slightly after needle penetration but before you actually inject. The FAQ says that if you see blood in the siringe you've screwed up and you have to start over. And it says you've successfully aspirated if you see a couple small bubbles.

If you've already pushed the syringe up enough to get the needle to drip after filling it, then I'm assuming the needle is full of liquid. So if you back it out after penetration, where is the air coming from?

Will you always see air bubbles during this step?

The bubbles are comming from the very slight space between the pin and your body's tissue. That's why it's hard to pull back. If you're in a vein it pulls back much easier.

You may or may not see the air bubbles. The main thing is, if you see blood, pull it out and find a new injection site.

I almost found out the dead way. shot some prop with out checking and got it in vein.

I coughed uncontrolably for about an hour. The coughing was so violent that I had ruptured capalaries in my lungs and my abs hurt severly for almost a week.

wow, i aspirated and i got a fairly big bubble, i was prety surprised, maybe i didnt blow all the air out but i thought i did! oh well!

Whats the chance of injecting any gear in a vein and dieing ????

I read on a post you can't, but at 400-600mg straight in a vein I would think that might be a little unhealthy.

when aspirating all u need to do is flick the needle a bit, u dont need to actually pull it. if u r sitting in a vein the blood willo easily flow into the syringe.
