Opioids Fizzy Syringe?

what is fizzy syringe
is that where when you're filterin ya diesel like you get all these little like bubbles when you start to suck up air/the cotton be goin dry?
 
What are you shooting? Pills? Heroin?

When I draw up a roxi, you can see white shit in there, I really should use a micron
Are you talking about air bubbles? Try holding the needle vertical (parallel to the ground) and shaking the syringe up and down to remove air bubbles
 
I think I know what your talking about. Some shity dope I used to get would always leave mad little bubbles & a white foam by the top. I'd just keep pulling air into my rig & flicking it till it all went away. If it's actually fizzing like soft drinks I would not inject it!
 
let it sit for 1 minutes flicking the side every minute or two. at the end of the day it won't hurt to shoot a couple units of air, so if it's not completely gone and your jonesing just do it. if your too scared then just squirt out the bubbly layer and save it for later.

and to those wondering I'm pretty sure I know what he's talking about. I get the same thing with some dope I get. when you suck it up into the rig there is like a foamy layer on top. the solution is brown but the layer us usually lighter and being dopeheads most people dont want to waste it by squirting it out.

Yeah, this.
It's leaving fizz/little bubbles in the syringe.. :\
It's not actually fizzing like a soda would, per se.. it's just foamy with little bubbles..
 
^letting it sit does allow for the bubbles to rise and combine to larger bubbles, making the flick easier. What does brave the bubbles mean?

Another tip:
Suck in about a unit of air, and gently tilt the syringe back and forth horizontally, while slowly twisting, letting the large ~1 unit air bubble move from plunger to tip and around the barrel aiming your movement for the small bubbles along the inside of the barrel. The large bubble of air should slowly absorb the smaller ones. Once all are absorbed, hold the syringe upright, and pull the plunger back a little to remove the thin layer of liquid that usually forms in the tip both with this method and also with flicking, and then proceed to press the plunger so that the solution passes up to the needle tip. If you flick it once all the small bubbles are absorbed, before pushing the liquid to the tip, more small bubbles usually form. But tiny air bubbles are not the biggest issue, usually they just attach to the plunger once it reaches so far during injection, just try avoid injecting larger amounts of air.

The above methods are if it is air we are talking about. If there is froth, bubbles suspended in the solution and not just bubbles on the side of the barrel, like the frothed milk on a cappuccino, then there might be some nasty fucking shit in your dope that should at no cost be injected (f.ex. it could be some sort of oil or certain lipids that should not enter veins).

In any case (this is something I do with every single shot), put a few drops on the back of your hand in that neat little concave spot so often used for snorting shit at clubs, and taste the solution. Anything tastes off, do not inject. It is good practice to taste the solution before injecting, because once you know what a pure DOC solution should taste like, you can avoid a lot of issues and decide even before proceeding to IV whether or not you got baking soda, talcum powder, ground up instant coffee or whatever other shit some people use when gypping folks in street deals. Be safe buddy. Take care and one love to all!
 
I only had shit this bad once and I threw it away.

great advice Bwanajzj , could save your life! Although I seriously doubt recognizing something that isn't heroin as such during the elaborate process of preparing my shot.
 
^I agree... Once you know the look and smell of dope, especially if one has done 100+ shots, you usually know from the moment the bag/package is opened whether or not you have gotten the right drug. Nonetheless, even before making a solution, dabble a few grains onto your finger and taste, that is another way of making sure, or snort a little and guage the potency (very important if sources are variable) and smell/taste - the nose is a very acute sense, and the slightest adulterants can be felt, smelled and tasted. If it is very aldulterated, then other ROA are recommended if one must proceed. Or micron filter, but few have funds for that each time unless making multi-shot solutions at once, which are hard to keep sterile without proper equipment and storage. Everyone has access to micron filters, it is just a matter of money and initiative - however, they are a highly advised acquisition that can potentially save your life or at least add a number of years to it, both if you want to live some extra years clean or some extra years on dope. In any case, as others have said, solutions tend to froth when sucking the last bit of juice through a cotton, and the more alduterants, the harder it is to suck through the last drops and subsequent air, making the so-called frothing more vigorous.
 
yeah it takes a lot of air, but I don't think anyone has started pumping ml after ml into their veins to see how many it takes. so I rarely put more than 5 units of air into my veins and I'm fine. I wouldn't do more than that just because it doesnt take more than 3 seconds to squeeze out the bubbles, plus its kind of fun.

but if your ever getting high with someone who is covinced the smallest bubble is deadly you can bet them 50 bucks that if you i.v. 20 units of air you wont die (although idk how they would collect if you die, that would be awkward to hit the family up for that at the wake). but i wouldnt make a habit of it
 
Yeah, that air bubble in the rig killing you has been one of those junkie myths for as long as I can remember.

When it comes to fizzy dope, which is usually just air anyway, just flicking it out, pulling the plunger back and forth, etc, works. Though it can take a little longer for an extra air bubbled shot. I've injected plenty of times with a little fizz in it. Once you register and blood fills the syringe, a lot of the air usually dissipates anyway, the tiny air pockets being filled with blood.
