How did he die exactly?
no veins whatsoever
all of my veins are shot...even when i first started iv my veins sucked...i have kinda thick skin and deep veins it seems..u cant even see the blue of my veins...now their just worse...find one sometimes out of luck and keep hittin it till it dies...didnt try my legs because i do not see any veains there...or my groin....tried everywhere else except my neck and thats what im going to now..never did it b4...so are u suppose to shoot into the carotted arteries that run on each side of ya neck?..ya know tighten up ya neck and go into the thing that almost feels like a tendon?

If you are intent on IVing, take a lot of time to familiarise yourself with what veins feel like. Often the best veins are slightly deeper than the easily visible ones, and decent sized, strong walled ones have a very distinctive "bouncing" sensation when you feel them with the pad of your finger. Slightly deeper veins (not really deep!) are anchored better to the surrounding tissue so less likely to roll and cause a missed shot, and are often a little bigger and stronger than surface veins (on your hands for example). Most good phlebotomists feel for veins, not look for them. It takes a lot of practice - you can do it anytime, just have a feel around veins you know and look at a vein map then have a feel in the places where veins might be lurking..
It is far better to have a repertoire of decent veins to use than to keep sing the same ones until you have completely ruined them.

Ugggg...made an account just to post this question...can Anyone PLEASE answer this?? So i have horrible veins only been shooting for a couple years but my veins sucked to begin with now I can hardly ever find one. After poking around for usually a minimum of 30 min I can eventually find one in my hand wrist or occasionally my forearm. Finally!!! Blood will come rushing in!!! Then I push in, and it burns like fuckkkk...so I pull back...more blood...push the plunger in again...burns like fuckkkk. And this goes on over and over, I feel a mild rush IF anything and then it hurts and swells up off of most EVERY shot in this area. Wtf am I doing wrong?! Veins just too small here and the tip is part in part out or what...? Don't know if that even makes sense but I can't think of ANY other possible explanation!! Soooo frustrating just wasted my LAST shot this way and I feel essentially NOTHING!!! So upset...can someone please help me out with this...?!?!

Sounds like you are hitting an artery, :/

No. Just no. That is idiotic advice and is far from harm reduction.
The OP shouldn't be banging Bupe. It's absolutely stupid to do so and he is destroying his circulatory system. Take the shit as it's intended to be. Let your body recover before you pay for it later on.

Could definitely be an artery. The pain you are describing despite seeing blood register in the barrel when pulling back is characteristic of that.
Are you micron filtering your bupe? If not, it is very harmful to your veins and missing is much more painful too.
If you are getting blood in the syringe but still feel it burning when you are injecting, pull out immediately and try and different injection site.

as others have said, if you are registering blood but it burns when you inject, you may be hitting an artery. A way to distinguish if you're in an artery rather than a vein is the color of the blood- if it comes into the barrel kind of snaky and dark, that's a vein. If it comes in very fast and is bright bright red, that's probably an artery so don't keep injecting if you can feel it burn. Does the burning sensation go out towards your extremities? That's another sign you're hitting an artery.
Really though, no one should be shooting bupe. This is just something to look for no matter what you're IVing.

I'm having problems at the moment, can someone recommend me a site to inject that is not: arms, feet, hands + the 2 big veins near the knees because all of this is gone to hell (or well at least lower arms/hands only need rest). There are some near my stomach but they are hard as hell to hit, it's really just jab yourself and pray for the best with these since I can't feel them and hardly see them (my poor vision doesn't help me either in this regard).
Don't say neck, will not do it.
