Why aspirate?

[Gawd]

Ive never had trouble aspirateing. I feel that its alot safer, actually i thought that you would die if you shot into a vein.
Ive shot 5times and these times has been the worst in my life... I hate it..

So you guys pin all the way down to the plastic or leave little space on needle left?

Yeah your right about the doctor thing, theres alot of times they dont aspirate.. lol, but dont think that gear is going to be wasted if going into a vein

I use 5/8" or 1" pins and go all the way in.

I always aspirate, easy enough to do to avoid the nasty effects of injecting into a vein.

I am TERRIFIED of doing this. Just the thought makes me cringe. But, I got over my fear of needles and practically look forward to pin days now maybe I can face my fear of this gross gross thing as well.. eek

dirty gear might be a problem ,however know your source ,I have been injecting for over 30 yrs with no problems ,i hit a vein once and had the alcohol feeling in my lungs,but nothing came of it!

Anyone injecting intramuscular MUST aspirate: it is so easy, insert the needle all the way, then gently pull the plunger UP and see if blood starts filling the syringe below if it does, pull out and pick another injection site nearby. Why? If you inject into a blood vessel it is bad news... not fatal but not good.

all the talk about not aspirating has made me think of another scenario... injecting dirty gear into a vein...
a lot of us here use UG labs, thankfully i have access to some of the best gear out there, but for those who dont, or are trying out new sources, the question is...
what would happen if you injected dirty gear into a vein... in your muscle you get an infection... in your bloodstream?

I agree, that could be a bad deal

i've aspirated had no blood and still hit blood vessels.. . when i pulled out blood pored out.

also what if you are injecting 3ml's with a 3ml syringe?

I just don't think it makes a difference. i am most concerned with opening a vial and having small pieces of glass go into the oil then sucking it up, that is the real danger to watch out for. its highly unlikely but if i am gonna worry about something that is what i would worry about. so be careful opening those vials.

and also infections need to be watched out for or you will have to make a trip to the doctor for anti-biotics

Heh...quite some time since I've been on the boards yet again. I prefer to leave a bit of the pin exposed. I can recall some of the old boys discussing this once, and it was strictly due to fear of something out of the ordinary happening like slipping or ur gf accidentally scaring the shit out of you, causing you to break the pin off inside your muscle. Maybe im just paranoid lol. I'd just hate to try to explain that in the er lol.

put your flame suit on.

there's ALWAYS a chance of hitting a vein. It's a lot more common to some people than it may be to you. It's just not worth the risk, period. why not take 2 extra seconds to ensure you're not shooting that shit into a vein. is your time really that much more valuable than your health?

It disappoints me to see vets of this site still posting things like this. Is it common for people to get flamed around here if all they have done is ask a questions. Worded there question respectfully like this guy did. If I find some one flaming this guy for making this post And acting like a jerk to him for it I will ban there ass on site.

We dont "flame" around here for the sake of flaming or because we do not agree. You are respectful to each other at all times at least I know we are when I come lurking around. And I know we should be when all of my staff is around...

SO please lets not say things like this. I know for a fact the leadership and the vets,mentors of this site do a lot of work trying to keep this site free of flames. Thanks shibs my man you know I love ya bro

The question should be -- when was the last time who heard of somebody having a problem because they hit a vein?

If you shoot in the glutes of delts, there aren't any major veins big enough to carry a substantial dosage. Even doctors don't aspirate. Of course, ANYTHING is possible. But on the whole, if done correctly, it shouldn't be an issue.
