Can anyone explain why someone who has IV'd Dilaudid with no problems, but is like a blind man trying to get a vein with Coke? Even the 1st shot, before the shaky hands start, it will end in a bloody mess.
Between screwing up veins and missed shots something bad is going to happen like an abcess or infection. Register before, halfway thru and near the end and dark red comes into the barrel but will still cause a bubble before it is noticed.

Any ideas?
 
I have a couple of ideas to throw out there.. as coke is a stimulant it will constrict the blood vessels and this can lead to more difficulty hitting. Like most IV coke users do you get very excited when you are loading and in the process of shooting the coke.. If so this excitement combined with a little fear associated with the IV administration of one high hoe of a powerful drug will also likely cause some blood vessel constriction. Also when a person who only IV's opiates moves into IVing coke they begin to do significantly more damage to their veins.. an opiat IV user may take a shot every four hours if they are dependent. Where as an IV coke user will often take a shot every ten or fifteen minutes till the supply of the drug has expired. The amount of shot combined with the frequency lead to an exponentially faster tole on the veins.

I dont understand the last statement you made... but if you are saying that you taking the time to register three times during the shot? What is the color of the liquid you are shooting?

i think that was a great post..^
the only other thing i'd throw out..is if you get on a run..
dehydration's always a factor with stimulants as well..
 
You both make great points and they are appreciated.

Yes, Register three times because if it slips, the lump won't be felt forming due to the numbness.
The blood is very dark veinous red and thick.
A shot was done today and the vein must have been damaged because the Coke ran down the arm to the fingertips. The numbness was felt moving underneath the skin from elbow area to fingers. It went away in about 30mns and caused the user to get very worried.

Trying to rember to drink a lot of water before blasting off. Trying to cut down on the 10 a day Coke-Cola habit.

The hands are shaky even before the first dose. Expectation of the kick in the nuts, 1000mph, insane, rocket launch into pure heavenly bliss does cause excitement. It can be all of that and more, but IV Coke is a dance with the Grim Reaper and Satan himself.
The user needs to take a break from the stickers and let the veins heal. After2 weeks of daily IV Coke that used an ounce plus 4 eight balls, the veins are ready for a break. A few of them will not flow blood. After sticking one of those, the pressure will push the syringe out completely if it is let go. That is weired and have never heard of it. It is pointed up the arm and 100% sure it was not in an artery. The user had to have arterial blood drawn by a DR one day and between being fire engine red and under enough pressure to squirt 20ft, there is no confusing the two.


Would having very low blood pressure and low heart rate affect anything? Averages 75/55 and even Coke only raises it to the 80's/70's. The heart speeds up from 45 Bpm to the 70's during a 1-2 day, 3-8 ball binge with high quality Coke like was available in the 80's . Never over 80bpm.
Amphetamines ,including Meth, causes the users BP and heart rate to drop so low that an ER visit resulted.

ugh..have you seen what Coca-Cola can do to a car battery?
it's as fucking poisonous as anything else we're talking about..

what's the reason behind your low blood pressure and heartrate..
is there a physical cause?
 
Did you mean first shot of a run, or first shot of the day? When NIK shot IV coke, he almost never used more than a ball (each time he did, he experienced the same problems you did).

He also gave his veins 2-4 weeks to heal in between his adventures. By doing this, he avoided the typical problems that present with chronic IV coke use. Make sure you are well hydrated, as in over-hydrated when you start, and keep sipping water through the session. A warm bath or shower helps as well, but do not shoot coke in the shower or bath - a big shot of coke and hard porcelain fixtures do not go well together.

If the pin is getting pushed out, it sounds like you haven't pushed through scar tissue. You might still get what appears to be a "register" without being in the vein.

Be safe. Have fun.

Just use a new needle and rotate to a new vein. Done. If you have not injected any coke prior to this first shot then its all in your head. The coke being in the barrel doesnt magically put up a roadblock for your good time.
 
The shot you described as running down arm to fingertips sounds like you accidentally hit an artery. Believe it ornot it's not always obvious you're hitting a vein just by the color of the blood. I'm a very experienced iv user and even i have started injecting into what i believed to be a vein because the blood looked dark, but since i always shoot slowly i'm able to stop as soon as i feel that i'm in an artery and never put more than a tiny bit in before i pull out and move to a new spot. If you inject slowly you will be able to feel the shot burning and stop before you put the whole thing into an artery.
