It has been a while..... So this weekend I am planning to inject for the first time in a long time...

I am just wondering if anyone has some tips for me to help keep my arm/s steady.... I have injected many times in the past, usually bluntening my bit after repeated attempts and then bruising myself. So I have usually had friends dose me... This weekend however I have no-one with me that can dose me....

PLEASE HELP. Constructive comments only please.

Thanks

I suppose I forgot to mention that I am hoping to use my 'odd' arm... As the other arms Veins hmmmm.... So yeah If anyone has any Ideas Or has a comment on their techniques. I have no trouble finding Veins, it's more so drawing the plunger and then injecting without dropping the fit etc....

Just rest the hand that your holding the pick with on your your arm (pinky touching the arm). . Also don't get the butterflys to much, take some deep breathes of air first, this will help you avoid getting the shakes. Keep the angle of the pick low to the arm. Make sure you have identified that sweet spot first too. I think a tourny will help make the veins alot larger but I never really used one. Just take it slow and easy, slowly push the needle in until youfeel it pop through into your vein. Slow and steady wins the race. The just use your thumb and index finger to pinch the end of the plunger and draw back. Obviously you will know if your in. Best advice is take your time.

Damn I'm getting butterflies just thinking about this shit and my heart rate is pumping hahaha.

Of course only use a clean rig, use a sterile wipe, filter etc. And dispose the evidence properly ;)
 
Just smoke it dude. Soon ull find that u wont have enough veins on ur body to administer it IV-ly.
 
You can IV a fair amount if you alternate spots frequently. And smoking gear is shit when compared to banging it. If this is his first time in ages and he doesn't intend on doing this alot then one more hit shouldn't do to much damage (as long as he can hit the vein fast and not butcher his arm of course).
 
Once u IV ull realize goin bak to smoking gear as u said is shit compared to it. If its a once of thing or non regular use i guess its ok but going based on how i am i know that i wouldnt look bak. Started off with codeine which was awesome, then it didnt even give me a buzz so had to add sum DXM after a while that wasnt enough so just added sum bars to it. Once u get to IV-ing Heroin not many people would want to look bak. Where to go from there? Especially from snorting > smoking >IV-ing. I admit it everyone is looking for a cheaper alternative high which has the highest bioavailability.
 
I could never IV anything, even if it take more gear to smoke to get high, i will just smoke more gear and spend more money, then mainling, stuff that, no offence to IV users, but I just can't do that

8) i've never lost a vein through my 5 years of injecting and have easily used the same 6 inch strip on my bicep for 95% of my injecting.

"soon you'll hvae no lung from smoking it"

my advice, don't have your pinky jammed, use your whole hand, keeping it free to easily manipulate the syringe while your're inserting and from there on. you'll shake more having your pinky jammed like i think you are from your description. also having your hand layed out flat on a table for stability has helped me in the past.

why are you using an alternate spot than you're used to. being an irregular IVer there's not going to be "wear and tear" so to speak, so keep to what you know.

when you're injecting multiple times a day for a period of time then yes, you need to alternate spots.

alternatively practice with some saline solution before using your gear.
 
On the whole IVing topic. I've IV'd Meth ONCE, Heroin ONCE. Haven't gone back. Plain and simple, do it once and don't do it again. And I have an addictive as FUCK personality. Saying that I'm sure there are a lot of people that can't just do it once. What scared me off more than anything was how much I thought about it afterwards, made me not wanna do it instead of succumb to my thoughts.

Do you smoke OP? I find if I'm a shooting that a cigarette in my mouth about half way through and I can hit a target 90% of the time, without the cigarette I am far too shaky for it around 20% accuracy.
 
I find that a brand new fit tends to have no 'action' in its movement so i tend to move the plunger a bit till you get a bit of easy movement.

I also find doing it quickly is the best. I get sweaty fingers (anticipation) and as a result i lose my grip on the plunger, i can pull it a little to see if i've hit the vein but can't get it in without a bit a force which in turn forces me to spear the vein.

Sometimes i'll prepare the shot and just come back to it a while later and quickly surprise myself before my conditioned response comes on.

also a good angle helps, not a 90 degree of course but a good slope helps you avoid spearing it.

but then again i haven't done that sort of stuff for probably over half a decade now. ah the ole days
 
Take deep breaths before you inject that poisonous shit in to your bloodstream, dude. Breathe in 1, 2, 3 and then out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

You must first relax your body, which is releasing noradrenaline at the time that you are intending on IV'ing something in to your arm, due to the excitement that one feels when Injecting drugs into one's arm.

For God's sake, don't take any tranquilizer type drugs. Otherwise, you'll be another statistic...
 
Like everyones said relaxation is the key.. steady your hand against your arm, as you insert the needle..
Tell yourself ''this is no big deal'', it will be over in a second... if you dont relax, you'll lose your gear
Concentration is the key.. forget about everything else, just focous on what your doing. Nothing else!..

Stop spreading incorrect advice. :p

If you inject with stupid techniques(unfresh needles, flushing the barrel after you shoot), and shooting stupid things(ect pills poorly filtered, using them HUGE syringes to inject diluted methadone syrup where it takes you fucking 3 minutes to inject like 50mL of liquid into your body with butterfly needles lol). -yes, i couldn't believe it either but people actually do, do this..

If you shoot with good technique and shoot things that are somewhat MENT to be put directly into your arm, rotate spots, use fresh needles, and dont do any of the above, you're not going to notice your veins just collapsing soon...

That's total scaremongering exaggeration sustonon.

Also i disagree that once you've shot your D.O.C or whatever that you can never be satisfied from another R.O.A again, for me it simply wasn't like that.

I couldnt agree more!!! This good advice..
 
using a good strap can be handy, and placing it in the right place, and knowing when to release it.

I find a little snort of the gear (heroin) before i go and do up a shot makes it immensely easier to do... the breathing techniques are probably a good method too.
 
Theres some really good advice in here.

I just had a shot of some heroin for the first time this year(not first time iv IV'd, first time heroin this year) and I got the shakes like no ones bussiness and the technique I usually use didnt work, I had to just stop and breathe then try again. My technique is resting my hand(palm facing inward) on my opposite arm(the one im shooting into) with my pinky extended so I have maximum support and the least amount of movement possible, put some pressure with your jabbing hand down on your arm so your hand literally cant move or shake.

With oxycontins I went from snorting(maybe 15 times over maybe 5 OC80's before I shot them) to shooting them then to snorting again coz I got scared of what I knew IV'ing all the other crap in the oxys was doing to me. I would shoot them now with a micron filter of course which is what I didnt have before but I no longer use oxycontins frequently, my opiate of choice has changed to heroin/morphine/methadone.
 
Take a few xanax bars in order to steady your hand ;)

What really helps though is get one of those rings that are used on key chains , the ones that circle around over itself and you can open the gap and slide stuff on it.
Take one of those and put it on the back of the rig (the plastic circular end of the plunger) . This allows you to register and then push off very easily.
Disregard my first piece of advice.
