Stupid Question On Drawing From Amps

[Scaggs]

Ok i got these glass amps of T.

how do i get the stuff out? If i break it and don't use it all in one shot how do i store it after its been opened?
and do i draw this up strait or is it advised to mix it with sterile water first to have less waiste in the glass container?

here is a pic

T meaning test i guess?? can't see the pic, i'm not platinum

Just draw it straight up, it may take a bit depending on what size pin and the type of test, but it will come, no need to tip the amp or anything. Anything you don't use just draw it into another sterile pin and keep it there, but there shouldn't be any reason not to use it all up at once

You gotta fill up two syringes. Once the amp is open is done. You cant cap the amp and store it.. its easy to load up to pins and cap the ends, make sure you dont leave the gear touching the stopper, it can break down the stopper rubber and clog your pin. mabye even inject rubber.

one shot of 250mgs? is that for the whole week or would i split that up?
and how do i open it? cut it or snap it at the neck?
I'd be drawing with an 18 gage. I didn't know i could keep the remainder in the needle. that would kick ass. will it stay sterile?

Thanks

Scaggs, you must use a different pin and syringe for sterility reasons. 250mg in 1ml is ok at once but you must have enanthate.. usually prop is only 100mg/ml. Your drawing with the 18 right? don't stck yourself with that fucking huge pin.

 

[Scaggs]

Twistedneck --- yea i know, i will be drawing up with an 18 but injecting with a 25. its test ethanate.

so i will draw up two syringes then for the week. half and half. does that sound right? still though how do i open the amp. its sealed glass.

Thanks

score the thin part of the amp with a file, then just grab firmly and snap it away from you. that's all i do

with enthante you can just shoot once a week since it's only 250mg, but if you want to split it up do like you said

 

[Scaggs]

Thanks for the help bros,

Scaggs

good luck bro

Hey Scaggs when are you starting your cycle?

Do one injection a week, enanthate has a long half life.

 

[Scaggs]

Anakin, I sent you an email

check it out.

Why the hell do you want to split up a 1cc amp of Testoviron for anyway...just shoot the whole thing and be done with it!!!

If you are splitting up 250mg of test eneth, what are you doing, hormone replacement of what?

Ill be waiting for the post you will be making later about an abcess bro! Storing gear in pins is not a good idea at all, I dont care how many other people say they do it. Once you open the syringe, it isnt sterile anymore.

Be safe and just shoot the whole 250mg at once, and adjust whatever you need to do to your cycle to deal with it.

Gunnar,

Excellent point. Just because its done a lot doesn't mean its a good thing. I know people who preload the entire cycle!

Btw, I forgot to tell you that before you inject the filled syringe, you must place a new pin on it.

Good luck Scaggs.

 

[Dial_tone]

They sell ampule openers, you know...

 

[Scaggs]

Yea I found the amp openers and going to use them. I will be just shooting the whole thing at once. I only was asking cause I didn't know. Now I do know. So relax. I won't be doing anything stupid.

Again thanks for the input. I got it now.

Actually, the easiest way to open amps is to use a 2x2 alcohol pad, hold the amp in one hand, place the pad on the top/neck of the amp and push the top of the amp with thumb away from you. Snaps right off. No need to score. I am surprised that no one mentioned the possibility of glass shards falling into the solution. In hospitals, a filter needle is used to draw out the solution to elimnate any contaminants.

 

[ArizonaFeeds]

My wife is a nurse. They do not use filters. I have always just snapped it with my thumb and an acohol pad. That is how she was taught and they do it in the hospital.

 

[aznurse]

Shows how there are different practices. Nursing fundamentals as we were taught specified using filter needles. In practice, nurses can utilize them or not. Since filter needles are readily available they are easy to use. But it does add one more step to the process, as the needle is removed after drawing up the solution and replaced with the necessary guage. If one is risk avoidant, this is a simple process. Rmember, 'do no harm' is the motto with patients. What we practice outside the hospital is another matter.

and how is that?......"Once you open the syringe, it isnt sterile anymore" .....that's nonsense....how is it not sterile anymore?.....just because it's exposed to air for a second doesn't make it unsterile.....

 

[ArizonaFeeds]

Hey AZNURSE is it true that if you open the amp right and turn it upside down the liquid will not pour out? My wife said they taught them that and they did it to prove it and it is true.

 

[Anakin]

Scaggs check your mail.

Vets, what would you suggest if he wants to keep dosages low for his first cycle? Isn't 12 weeks kind of long for a first cycle?

250mg for 8 weeks ---> 8 amps
500mg weeks 1 and 2; 250mg weeks 3-8 ---->10 amps
500mg for 6 weeks --->12 amps

Agreed 1,000,000%. I've pre-loaded all my cycles and never had a problem ever. Now it's a different story if the needle is touching your fingers, or other objects. But the air itself will not cause contamination unless left out for a while.

 

[aznurse]

I have not tried it, but I know that if there is solution in the neck/top of the amp and you break it off, the solution does not run out, as you have stated. The next time somebody opens an amp of Primo, let us know if you can turn the amp upside down and not lose the contents!

 

[faller]

I've opened amps of other materials (it was a solution for an osmomiter) and I couldn't even SHAKE it out. Also, as soon as the amp is opened, whatever is floating around in the air can land on it and contaminate it. Since the opening is so small, you're probably safe. But is is NOT sterile anymore.

depends on ow thick the oil is as well as how skinny the amp is.....thick oil in a skinny amp won't spil......

It is not nonsense, it is the truth. Iam not talking about something getting contaminated in a couple of seconds, I am talking about storing gear in a syringe ant letting it sit around until you need it.

If what you are saying is true, then syringes would come packed in re-sealable zip lock bags like cheese.

Fuck people get a clue!!!

Get some sterile vials and transfer the extra gear into them until you need them. This is a simple and pretty much standard way of dealing with this type of situation in a hospital. Lots of meds come in large amps like up to 5ml and it is not always used at once.

Let me hear of anyone, nurse technician, or whatever try to tell me that they load syringes in a hospital!!

Pop the top,suck it out, and shoot it in your ass !

If you think you are a smart and frugal person for storing gear in syringes, then more power to you, but i dont think you need to be promoting the idea like it is no big deal.

Just cuz you cant see it doesnt mean its not there bro! Loading up a bunch of syringes is not smart at all, but you go right ahead and brag about doing it, your time is comming, I guarantee it.

Air born contaminants dont exist huh? Get a clue and preserve your health.

Whoa! Slow down bro. I'm not saying that airborn contaminants don't exist, but if you pre-load the syringe and the cap on the needle is never taken off until you use it, then there is really nothing to worry about. As long as that little plastic cap never comes off that needle until you use it you can keep the syringes pre-loaded and in a bag for the entire cycle.

The exterior of the syringe - which you handle anyway - will be contaminated, as with any shot. The interior, containing STERILE gear, drawn through a STERILE needle, into a STERILE environment will remain sterile if the needle is promptly re-capped (or changed) with proper aseptic technique.

Take your own advice.
