Best place to shoot up?

I mainline my shots using my left arm. I don't have any trouble hitting, which is absurd because I don't rotate, and I've been using the same vein for about a year and a half multiple times daily.
Anyways, I already know this is an HR forum, and I know the consequences & all that.

So, I was wondering. Are there better places to shootup other than mainlining it? & By that, I mean, a more intense rush.. not because I can't hit or anything. I'm just curious if there's a better vein to use. Ironically, any vein is better than the one I'm using. :|
 
You should really rotate your shots, I'm super surprised that that vein has yet to collapse. Are you asking if injecting in a different location will make the rush better? Because the answer is no, regardless of what vein you inject in, the drug is going directly in your blood stream anyway. It's all the same....Rotate my friend!
 
There are several points you can hit. I use a different spot every day. One technique i use is to gently press on the vein opposite direction of flow to the body and observe how the vein recovers. If the vein recovers flowing towards the body then you are assured it will flow there instead of toward the capillary system. Be careful as always. I suggest that any IV user purchase a book on illustrated anatomy and look at it close. I'm not a Medical Doctor. Do your homework. If you don't you are taking undue risks that could damage your circular system.
 
after 15yrs of on and off IVing opiates (heroin, opana, oxys, you name it) and other drugs, my veins went to hell, i blame IVing cocaine and crack for my being collpased. i cant hit a vein in my forearm or anywhere on my arms, some spots u can find veins are if u tie up lower towards ur wrist, u will notice on the side of ur lower arm along ur thumb a juicy vein will pop up, and other veings in that area, or juicy veings on ur wrist (Dont use those tiny little veins under ur palm) they mos tlikely are arteries, are tempting as it may be to do, dont do it, just try to find a vein, the foot is a nice place if ur IVing heroin, cuz us constantly walking on ur feet with shoes on, keeping it warm down there causing veins to pop up. stay hydrated for more veins to pop up and warm, or sit in the bath tub and look around...i never shot into my neck so dont condone it nor have experience, i only shoot heroin in my foot, no other drugs, cuz i only need so little heroin (15-20cc) to put in my veinm rather than 80cc of a pill in a needle (causing huge issues)

i can never understand friends of mine who shoot up in the same spot, everytime, and use the same injection site/spot for years at a time,and still have veins all over there body and there daily 8+yr heroin users..never could understabnd poking a needle in the same spot for years str8 and the vein still active,

Yeah, don't keep hitting the same place just 'cause you'll know you'll get an easy hit. That was how I did it, and eventualy lost them one by one. Seriously, those veins won't last forever.

Answering your question, your arms are the safest place to inject into. As long as you rotate, there's no reason you'll ever need to explore riskier inlets. Be careful to avoid arteries, as well: the blood is much lighter in colour and will fill your syringe rapidly at high pressure.

Edit: use as thin a pin as possible, swab your injection sites every time, and always use a fresh pin; blunt ones can really fuck up your veins.
 
I think you guys missed his point. He said he doesn't have any trouble shooting or hitting (even though he always uses the same site). He just wants to know if there is a "better" place to shoot in order to get more of a rush.

To the OP, the first response was correct. You are not going to get a better rush from a different site. All routine IV sites are going to be pretty much the same. And also, as everyone else said, it is very necessary to rotate your sites or you will eventually run into trouble.
 
the closer to ur heart and brain i suppose gives a quicker rush.....when i shoot in my wrist, it takes longer to feel rather then i can shoot above my forearm...
 
don't miss and hit the cubital artery in the crook of your arm. you may lose some fingers. i did.

Ouch! I lucked out by hitting an artery a couple times (well, I say lucky, but I nicked a nerve once, causing agony). The shot takes longer to hit, because it's being pumped the opposite way. I used to shoot unfiltered pills (retarded, I know, but your only young once), and you can feel the shot burning its way through the tiny veins and capililaries in your hand. Ouch!

Edit: it was the cubital artery in the crook of my arm, as you did it...I am lucky as fuck, man.
 
i was shooting unfiltered demerol pills. 10 @ a time. i could feel the burn but was already fucked up & stupidly thought it would eventually dissipate.
 
Actually the closer to the hart stuff doesn't always apply since big veins have more blood in them the drug gets carried faster , for instance hitting the femoral gives a very quick rush (don't recommend it though)


Anyway if you want to give your left arm a rest I suggest starting with the same vein in the right arm.
 
It really doesn't matter where you're getting it into your body so long as once it's in and you're pushing you don't dawdle. The faster you get what you're shooting into your body the faster and more intense your rush. Be careful with that though, you don't want to rupture a vein I've seen that happen first hand and it is bad fucking news.
 
im just happy to find a vein honestly nowadays when i occasionally shoot up, after 15yrs of on and off IVing, i lost alot of veins, on my occasonial Iving, i got no choice but to use my wrist or foot, only heroin, 20cc most of heroin solution, less going in my foot the better
 
20cc? That's a shit load of fluid, do you mean 20 units? like .2mL?

im sorry for the confusing, on a 1 cc needle (1ml syringe) I use only 20 units of water of less, you know how the numbers go up by 10-20-30-40-50-60-70-80-90??? I fill my needle up to the 20 mark max...(.20 ccs)
