I think anyone here who has IV'ed coke would agree that missing your last shot is a shitting feeling. :( Normally i have absolutely no issue with missing a shot, ill go months without missing a shot of dope. But with coke, especially towards to end of my G, i am so jittery and shaky that i can't steady myself enough and sometimes pull out or poke through after registering. Even though i know [retty much instantly if its missing and only miss a few units usually, it still does a number on my arms/veins, and still sucks when your rush is diminished by even a little from those few units. Just wondering if anyone had any tips for how to steady myself enough to not miss. Its not my technique, because i never miss with anything else, and never miss with coke unless i have already done a few fat shots. It just makes me so shaky.:\
 
Veins cringe as your session proceeds. Pausing to drink a pint of liquid then do a few push-ups is a good idea.

Also, spare your best vein spot for the last shot.
 
Or, if feasable...have a friend help you out?

MAN how true it is that the LAST shot (of any substance) always seems to be the one to miss. GOD is that annoying!
 
Yeah I would jus save it for when u need it most but it's up to you. I use to bang H but it's the same proccess nonetheless, I remember being dope sick nd shaking to get the vein. I got it but damn was it hard.

But missing does suck you get zero rush nd just kills the whole reason for shooting it.

I am glad I have stabilized on a low dose of buprenorphine, because I no longer "shake" in the morning (unless it's really cold, lol). I don't really have many WD symptoms anymore, especially not in the same degree of severity.
 
Yeah, that's a bitch.

As someone who has missed quite a few shots in the beginning, I can now speak with some authority on this matter. :)

What I do is chug a king can of beer, light a smoke. I vigorously pump my hand, do some pushups, then I crack another beer and light another smoke. For the last fat shot, I always save the best part of the vein for it. When I am afraid of missing from the shakes what I do is rest my injection hand on my arm where I'm shooting. I find this bracing to really help with the shakes.

If that doesn't work, it's time to chug about 6 shots of whiskey followed by another beer and a joint. That usually is enough to bring me back down from the sketch to nail it.

One thing I had happen to me once is I was looking forward to pushin so much when I scored that I couldn't even hold the spoon to prepare. This lasted for about 20 minutes, I just had to sit it out. Finally I put on some music, drank a beer and managed to laugh at my physcosis. And that's another tip - Laugh, Smile even though you might be feeling like hell. That seems to calm me down a bit.
 
ugh missing, i hate it. my veins are shot i miss alot. it sucks so bad. i finally found a new one that seems to be working so we shall see

I disagree strongly with this advice. Injecting anything under the influence of alcohol is a very bad idea. I've seen people do it at least a dozen times, and never once has it turned out well. Mixing drugs really isn't the best solution if you're struggling to get that last hit, in my opinion.

But yes, smoke a cig, relax, take deep breaths, clear your head. Typically by the last shot of coke, my gittery-ness and anxiety to get that last huge shot cause lots of trouble. I normally have to set the rig down for a minute and force myself to relax and calm down. Works wonders for my ability to get the hit. Best of luck to you, it definitely does suck to miss the final shot, with all the anticipation that accompanies it.
 
Seriously save it for later. I was so into shooting coke, I liked it more than heroin, and I can totally relate to this issue. Of course it's so easy to say save it for later, but when you're shooting coke, waiting five minutes seems impossible. I would wait till I could stop shaking because not only does missing the shot suck as it wastes coke, but it usually leaves a nasty bruise at the least.
 
Yo for someone with no tolerance to coke, how many mg would you throw in for a speedball with h? I know coke varies in strength but I think this is pretty low quality. I threw 100mg in there and I got a bell ringer but it wasn't a crazy one. It was nice but it wasn't like I got hit by a wall of bricks and like had to lay down you know what I mean... It mixed up real nice too perfectly clear.

slamming 100mg of coke with no tolerance sounds like a VERY VERY dangerous idea, that's a decent sized line,let alone shot, even for some with a tolerance to cocaine. I'd be more careful next time...
 
Yeah I guess i am lucky the coke was not superb. I shoulda did like a 25mg test shot. Well Just by lookign at it you could tell ti wasnt the super fire coke,.

So with this batch of coke 100mg is a solid shot for speedballs. I wouldn't want to try over 150mg..because that was pretty intense. You know what's weird is the dope rush makes me itch like so hard it hurts almost lol like its quick and goes away fast, but teh coke rush has its qualities... combined they are quite the couple. Id fuck em both

May sound simple, but SWIM finds that using more water than usual (say 80 units rather than 40) allows SWIM to make a final decision around the halfway mark whether or not to push the rest in. Sometimes it hits SWIM so hard and so quickly that SWIM is grateful SWIM can pull out and save the remainder for a few minutes later. SWIM usually just puts in a little less H than SWIM would usually do. SWIM know some wonder and say that due to the UP vs DOWN relationship of the drugs that SWIY can use more of each, but SWIM really doesn't recommend that. SWIM ESPECIALLY recommends SWIY avoids combining these drugs with alcohol or benzos. That's just asking for it. In fact, the two times SWIM overdosed was because SWIM had done benzos (1st time) and alcohol (2nd time). If SWIY does end up finding this out the hard way and survives to reflect on the experience, SWIY will find it remarkable how little alcohol and/or benzos lead to the overdose. Just doing the normal amounts of all the aforementioned drugs but in combination is all it takes. So, if SWIY does mix, do less than SWIY would normally do if SWIY were only using the one substance by itself. Don't mean to sound preachy whatsoever. Just sharing my experience. Good luck!

If, after it registers, SWIY can roll the knuckles down so the back of the hand is resting on the forearm, that might help. Just double check the flash and steady the eye on how much of the needle tip is exposed. Concentrate on the tip not moving and SWIY might have better luck. At least that way too, SWIY will know if the tip moved and can stop from missing! Good luck :)
 
Also keep checking. Coke numbs so u might be missing a bit n not know it. If u can untie as it goes in. I've found that I can't cause I end up loosing it. When I get shaky I drink some tequila or rum along with a Xanax or klonopin . I also do 100 mgm shots. It might sound crazy but love sneezing n nausea after rush!
