Harm Reduction Gunna use the main vein on my right arm?

[Tony Williams]

I aint no newbie but been iving for years now awhile back I used a huge pin, blue one and I remember in the crook on my right side I felt summit odd so moved it about it half regged and I thought fook it, I wound up in alot of pain and numb arm for 15 mins it did improve and I left going the hospital now since then, I have always stayed the frig away from it, pushing down at that crook I feel a odd tingle but now, I have gone through near all my arm and hand veins

I look back and it is a main vein, so it can can get a bit of battering, people usually start on crooks then the one at the side they try next - I did anyhow, its a smaller vein yet its faster/rushier to your head. So I tried before with a alcohol cleaned pin only a 1mler to hit it first time it did but I was out a bit second worked ok too just that pin aint too sharp. I NEVER tried shooting the water into it but I would with a shot. Now ideally I will look after it. :D

so maybe use a small 1mler and do two shots or get a 2ml and do one 4 shotter. With 2ml I would use orange only that s the smallest I have not used this vein in a LONG time I would hate to repeat what happened last time. Must of been very unlucky or really dug in as I've never had with my other crook which I have used a few 'ens and you can see that vein you can't see the right one.

Gunna try n reg my left side with the same pin.

Using big fuckoff great turkey baster needles will do a number on your veins over time. I started using 25g needles for IV'ing methoxetamine, and having very little prior experience IV'ing. Learned by reading up, but the actual practise is...trickier than it sounds, at very first.

Fucked up a few veins for quite some time as a result, some I still can't hit in.

I've since switched to using 30-31ga needles, or at the biggest, 28g, and my veins are noticeably better off for it (shooting oxy, and 4-MeO-PCP, or if I can get any, 3-OH-PCP)

btw I wasted 3 bags FRIG, i used the last of my pins so I might get more but just small or both 1 and 2mlers I smoked >1bag still left over and snorted some of another half ish. So 3.5 bags left. I hope next slammage works. Betteer sort this work out first.

thing is with this gear, no idea why but I cook and micron/wheel filter into the 1ml barrel over some time it goes lame and funny and sticks so I plug out plunger and knock it and recook. and that needle is blocked up. Never had gear like that it appears alrighty stuff just odd. So 2mlers seem better.

all of this:

awhile back I used a huge pin

I felt summit odd so moved it about it half regged and I thought fook it

that pin aint too sharp.

explains this.

I have gone through near all my arm and hand veins

but then you say this.

Gunna try n reg my left side with the same pin.

dude get some new and smaller pins, 30 g is a good balance of not clogging too easy and being small enough to slide into a vein real easy. keep reusing the same giant needle and your going to run into much more problems than collapsed veins.

putting a needle < 28g into a hand vein will turn that vein into a single use vein. please get some smaller needles and practice gentle and safer injection technique.

^ Precisely.

aye that was a long time ago. I have now blues and not greens they used to give blues. So 25 orange and 23 is blue. After alot of looking and feeeling by tapping for veins, I used 1ml(smallest)to see if I can reg, I did do some. Never ended actally shooting much as I aint 100% where my vein is and I blind fire near (carefully digging and hoping to hit a vein). Most regged partly not flushed so I kept fishing drawing back more and more blood. now here I have still shots 3 sets of gear w/ blood in was gunna add water stir w/ heat and filter abit, dialute it probs and see if I get a sure fire. if not. plug.

risk of bacteria i guess theres about 4+ maybe 3 bags worth here though :D

as for pins I try 1ml ideally if not 25g now after 3 stabs I leave with the 27 after 1 I do.

btw in the end i never shot the bloooded h mixed with water stir, heat and plugged. then smoked whatever was left on foil.

Bah, no effects barely mild pupils being alittle consticted down from them being blown from ritalinz, still not so much.

25G's and even 27G's are fucking huge... whatever veins you have, you wont have for very long if you keep sticking yourself with needles that huge. Get a proper sized needle, use a tourniquet, and learn good IV technique, because it sounds like you are really going to mess yourself up if you keep doing what you're doing.

 

[Znegative]

Wait, are you using 25g pins to shoot into your hand?!? And you're just blindly digging around hoping to hit something??Dude, what you're doing is seriously dangerous. The veins in your hand are small and flatter than those in your forearm.. You really should not use anything smaller than 29g (and even that's pushing it..). Also, if you can't see veins in your hand, put on some warm water and run your hands under it, your veins should come to the surface. Blindly shoving a needle into your hand is asking for something awful to happen.. You can hit a nerve, an arterie, ligaments and tendons etc..

Yeah....everytime I went to my local pharmacy and asked for syringes, I never knew what I'd get....I thought 28 guage was what they normally gave but I think 30 guage is what I'm used to...the guage thing has always confused me because lower is thicker. Hitting your hand, which I never do, requires a short and fine needle...

The OPs UKedness definitely comes through in their writing style, which is pretty cool, it's like I can hear you talking that way...lol
