I would start off with a little more than half of what you would snort just to begin with if you're going to inject for the first time. About 2/3rds. You may only want to use exactly half if it's really potent stuff.
Here's usually how I do it. First get an alcohol wipe. Wipe your fingers. Put your dope in a clean spoon. Tear out the filter from your cigarette. Make an unclean tear (for whatever reason I never seem to be able to pull as much if I use sissors and have a clean tear) and keep that piece set aside on something that's not dirty, obviously. Put your dope in the spoon. I typically get a thin book just under a half inch tall to rest the handle of the spoon on to keep it level. Get an opened bottle of water. Any spring water will do, although it might be cleaner to use distilled water. Get your needle. I use 29 gauge insulin needles that hold 50 units. Pull up 40 units. Apply the water on the heroin. Take the orange top and crush any chunks and mix it with the water until you see no visable chunks. Run a lighter under the spoon for a few seconds. I don't bring it to a boil. Stir a little bit and let it cool down. Put the cotton in. Place the needle in the cotton and SLOWLY pull. You may have to pull several times to get all the liquid out. Take your time. Now hold the syringe upright and tap it until you have one bubble at the top. Take your time doing this. Slowly push until you finally see a little bit of your heroin saturated water come out. Wipe your target vien and surrounding area. Stick the needle in at an angle and get it in fairly deep. Pull out until you draw blood in the syringe. Now gently push. Remove the syringe and cover with the alcohol wipe again. Hold down. Say "aah!"
You are now high. Definantly have an experienced user with you the first time and I would have them shoot you up. You will almost guaranteed fuck up if you do it alone. You want to make sure the needle doesn't shake and you don't pull or push a lot into the vein. It takes a little practice when you're drawing in blood. Also I'd practice finding the right size cotton to use first as well. Just do a dry run of 40 units into a spoon and see what size of cotton picks it up the best without being too dry or completely saturtaed.
I would not say my method is the most sterile either, but definantly an improvement over most of my friend's methods.
The most important thing to remember is take your time when preparing a shot.
