Problem with injecting

[medi3val]

Man I feel like a dumbass here. I read all the instructions, even did a search and watched a video on insulin injections.

But I can't get this shit to work!

I'm equalizing the air first, pulling back 1cc of air outside the bottle, then injection the air into the bottle, then turning it upside down to pull 1cc back out.

Every time I do this, though, I can only pull back a tiny bit of oil before I get nothing but air and the bottle sucks the plunger back down. This is driving me nuts. I've read everything three times over. Now matter how much air I inject in the bottle, the bottle acts like suction. When I pull back the plunger no more oil comes in... only the bubbles get bigger... and if I let go of the plunger the bottle sucks it back down.

WTF am I doing wrong?

Hmmmmm..... Well 1st off, you say youre drawing up oil, so what size needle are you drawing with? You really need a big sized needle for oil to come out smooth.... It the needle is smaller then 23 gauge, it's gonna be hard to draw out oil...... For the record, I never inject air into the vial before drawin up, I just turn the bottle upside down, put the needle in, and pull back the plunger, and it flows out easy..... Now I use an 18gauge needle to draw out my oil, then switch to the needle I'm gonna shoot with after..... 18 gauge will make any oil flow out smooth..... I'm gonna guess youre using a small pin to draw out your oil, that's the problem.....

...sounds like the gauge of the needle is too small. Try between and 18 and 23G pin to draw and use a fresh 22G (glutes) or 25G (for delts/quads) to shoot.

Inject the air with the bottle turned upside down and inside the oil (so you see bubbled rising to the top) that way you know for sure he air is going in and cant escape then draw out however much you want.

Thanks guys.

I'm using 23g needles... maybe it's the size, that's all I can think. I've turned it upside down and seen the bubbles coming out.

Make sure you keep the tip of the needle in the oil, not in the air inside the vial.
