"A fart in thewind" the terrible true story about my adventure with the "home micron"

So, before I begin let me say I'm pretty much aware from coming here for the last 2 years that my post is going to be followed by atleast a few people claiming they've tried this method and it works. Let me re assure you there either lieing or mistaken. I folowed step by step and was VERY dissapointed.

So, some of you probably seen the guid on how to make a "home micron" of sorts bypacking a syringe with cotton up to the 40 unit line (in a 1 cc syringe) and drawing through there to get "near clear solution" when shooting pills. SO I figured, I'd test it. First with a piece of suboxone strip before I sacrificed a oxy or dope.

I load a 1 cc syringe with cotton, push it down tightly to the 40 unit line, put 2mg of subpxpne strip (which has almost no filler in 60 unitsof water and mix. I start drawing up. To make a long tory short after 3 times I BARLY got 12 units above the cotton, it vcloged everytime, and I had to wind up cutting it open to try and get back my suboxone. From the orignal 60 units I retrieved 4o. I repat...20 units of drug solution simply vanished in the cotton and is nearly impossible to squeeze out. I felt COMPELLED to write this so people know the REAL deal and no one loses there drugs. Luckly this is my prescription and I have pretty much unlimited supply of suboxone. Still..it's very very wrong for someone who THOUGHT this was a good idea to claim to have done this with OTHER pills with WAY more filler. This fprum is SUPPOSE to help people...not fuck them over.

Wut? Lol...I'm so confused. This isn't about a specific drug but about how to filter them...how is that "other drugs" and not "BASIC drug discussion" ?

I appreciate the fact you mods have jobs to do but you guys get a little close and move happy at times. Atleast I don't get it. If you can explain how this is a other drug I'll appreciate it.
 
^the primary reason is because most I.V. related threads are handled in OD. I actually tried this myself and could never get it to work either. Besides that, I do not believe that the resulting solution would be anywhere near as pure as one that is filtered through a Micron.

ahh i see. And yes. Complete fairy tale. Whoever wrote that should at LEAST have the thread closed. And I learned my lesson..sending a money order to GP for 5 micron filters.
 
wouldn't it make more sense to backload the solution, then press down the plunger to force the liquid through the cotton, and out of the tip of the needle?
 
What are you talking about? What thread should be closed?

Learned what lesson sending who money for micron filters?

You cannot substitute for a micron filter with compressed cotton, as it lets in particles larger than 50ug (bacteria, talc, inactive ingredients). Micron filters need not be purchased via paypal, money order, etc. They are freely available online, even on Amazon.com

There is absolutely no excuse for not using microns, if you have the resources to get cottons and a syringe, you have the resources to acquire a micron filter.

& If you have a complaint with a member of staff, there is procedure to follow.

Maybe so. But it got clogged pretty fast so I think that would be the result anyway. Besides that's not what the instructions said.

First off mad threads been closed and moved that really shouldn't. Second off the lesson I learned was just to use microns and I'm sending a money order to GPservices the site that Captain.Heroin introduced me and most people to. I don't have pay pal or credit. All cash. Third off although I don't agree with the placement of this thread or alot of other stuff some mods done I know better and am just going to save myself the aggravation. There's NO point in complaining. I honestly in my two years have only meet two cool mods. So I'm not even going to bother I was just making a point. Fourth, I don't think there is a procedure besides typing and posting to state an opinion. I'm not "attacking" anyone personally (which I already received two warnings for when there really wasn't an attack).

Uhh....

I get the feeling you've never used a real micron filter?

Every micron filter 'steals' a few units of solution- you adjust, accommodate and simply use a little extra water and lose fuck all. Come to think of it, any form of filtering that actually 'filters' the solution will cause a tiny loss.

This technique works- you do lose a little bit, but if you're slamming that shit with regularity you'll work out how much you lose and get on with it.

A real micron filter works much better, but it's better than a fucking ciggie butt.

I find it quite odd that from 1991-1997 I shot black tar heroin multiple times a day, every single day. Also I shot many, many dilaudids and morphine sulphates and god only knows what else in those blurry, who-knows-where-I-am-and-who-these-people-are nights. I had never HEARD of a micron filter, I always just used a piece of q-tip or cigarette filter. Never had a single problem. ALL my veins are still good, never had an infection, never had cotton fever or any of that shit. I wonder if someone here at BL has a financial stake in "micron filters".
 
The risks of poor injection technique are more pronounced with long-term effects. If you didn't experience anything negative, then you didn't mess up BAD, but do not assume that you are out of the woods yet, there's probably a bunch of talc and silicon blocking the fine blood vessels of your lungs.

Most of us did not start out IVing with micron filters.
 
The main reason they are not used is because they're not easily available to most people who use IV drugs.

In New Zealand (if you live in a city) you can get a 'drug purification pack' (micron filter, 10ml barrel, drawing needle) 24 hours a day from a needlebank vending machine for around a dollar US. As virtually everyone gets their needles from needlebanks here micron filters are as available and around the same price as needle packs.

Here I'd say that it's about 60/40 towards using micron filters, simply because most of the 'casual/experimental' IV users don't use micron filters (or don't buy enough micron filters) when they shoot, but most 'habitual/experienced' IV users use micron filters (if only because they're more likely to be shooting homebake heroin, which may be black before it's filtered).

Dirty shots aren't pleasant, no matter the size of your cock or whether or not you get abscesses/infections from poor IV practice. That's the main reason people use them, it doesn't have much to do with 'health' but because they are so available people use them- which is good.

Plus- once you've used a micron filter you'll never go back to ciggie butts or cottons or whatever. They're fucking fun little contraptions. Magic!
 
Not easily available? Maybe not AS easy as walking into your local CVS, but bulk-HR materials can be purchased online with only a few clicks, delivered discretely to your doorstep, sealed & sterile.

Uhhhh why do you have to talk to me in a sarcastic condensending way? I really doubt you lose 1/3 of your drug solution using microns.

Once again...I'm just stating an opinion not "officially" complaining. And the vender is a reputable one so I'm pretty confident. Plus it's only <NO PRICE OR VENDOR DISCUSSION>

Same here. I banged 2 years straight tons of roxys with no microns and am fine but the way I see it better safe than sorry =D

Nah I think he's fine. He'd probably have sympton by now.

Agreed.

Actually there not. Think about it. Someone like me has no credit or paypal so I got to send money orders. Now I've been clean for about two weeks so savingm oney is easier but most addicts see spending 25 bukcs just for filters unthinkable. I have a friend who's been shooting for 40 years with just cotton. Just fine. Yes he's 63 years old. But I'm still buying mine. I'm just saying it's NOT as easy as you make it appear for most users.

No, the symptoms of pulmonary embolism can take years to accumulate to the point of it being problematic, so he wouldn't "have symptoms by now".

It may not be easy as 123 for all users, but it is for me. I do not mean to sound like an asshole when I say that either, believe me I'm poor as fuck and there is no way any credit card company would give me a card in their right minds. But for most people, it really is easier than they think to get HR materials.

and Captain Heroins guide is not the only place to get medical supplies, It's a place to start, but it's your responsibility as a consumer to shop around, as others may be cheaper or offer better promotions.

Nah it's cool bro you don't sound like a dick .Im going to be looking online now for some other companies. <please tell me you did not just say that>
 
Please dont post on the boards about buying something off another BLer. :|


But in his micron mega-thread he says "actually there is a one stop shop. Me. message me." so I figured it was fine to mention Im buying MICRONS from him not drugs -.-

Seriously. Ridiculous. How many mods do we need to contradict what the other says?...
