Heroin First time shooting

Yeah thanks for all the help guys. I just sniffed two so I'll prob wait til after work and try shooting a full bag. Am I using too much or not enough water?
 
A bag (assuming one tenth) for me would fill about half of a standard 27 gauge (maybe 31...) 1 mL (I think, maybe .5...) orange capped syringe or grey capped syringe.
 
^ Agreed, love the 31g short tips. Using a new needle every time and rotating sites guarantees no noticeable tracks.

And its so easy to hit the vein. You almost have to try to miss!
 
Another question. I know I prob shouldn't be asking this cause I kno no one can give me lab tests on what's in my dope blah blah. But I have one kind that burn my nose and throat when I sniff it and causes my nose to run down my face. My question is, is that a sign that it could be q hot dose and I should avoid shootin it?
 
Yeah I figured that out. I use Poland spring and a q tip? Is that ok? Also my syringe is starting to get dull I used it about 4 or 5 times today. Can u buy them anywhere and what's a good size to use ? I'm only shooting a bag at a time too scared to do more. I have a 27g syringe now
 
Also can you shoot in the top of your feet? I have so many isible veins there I feel like it's be easy to hit
 
THe laws depend on the state. What state do you live in? Some starts will not sell syringes to people without a prescription. IN that case it's tough to get them. You'll need to find a syringe exchange, or order them offline.

But if your state allows for pharmacys to sell them, then just walk up to the pharmacy and request what you need. Personally I prefer 31g short tips 1cc.
 
feet are bad for shooting, they are a breeding ground for bacteria and especially fungus. I would definitely stick to the main veins in the crook of your arm for now, especially for your first few times shooting

This is true but there is also the much lower blood return and circulation in general which ups the risk factor of most complications. You hear about varicose veins a lot more often in the lower limbs than the upper limbs.
