IV blowing veins

[Sevenonesix]

Lately every time SWIM hits any vein, it blows. They don?t push, it just blows the moment they get blood. Now they?re covered in bruises and swelling because they?ll try a a ton of spots, and each one blows immediately. They?ve looked it up and can?t find anything about a similar experience or answers

Firstly, welcome to Bluelight!

Secondly, we don't do 'SWIM' here - it's not necessary and is actively frowned upon.

Thirdly, what veins are you trying to hit? Small surface veins can often blow if you're not careful, but any decent sized ones such as the crook of your arm should be fine. If you can provide more details such as size of rig, how long you've been IVing and what sites you're using, we may be able to help.

What gauge rig and where are you using?

Have you read the guide or been shown by anyone?

Maybe you are just missing the vein.

Just stop and look up youtube
