Heroin Help plugging.

Hi, all. I am a frequent user of heroin #4. My usual dose is 50mg insufflated. I decided to try plugging in an attempt to save dope/money, as well as my nose.

This morning, I had a bowel movement, a shower, and prepped 20mg of dope into 3ml of water using a 10ml syringe.
I laid sideways and only managed to get roughly 1cm of the syringe in (it has a small tip). I slowly plunged and I believe I lost most of it, but it did help slightly with withdrawals and I felt an initial come on (assuming it wasn't placebo).

I was not satisfied and decided to snort 30mg. It is now night, and I decided to try again, this time with the help of a willing participant and some lubricant.
30mg was loaded into 3ml, it was inserted 1.5 inches in, and slowly plunged. I waited with my butt in the air for 15 minutes. It has now been 30 minutes and I would say it was equivalent to the experience this morning.

Am I doing something wrong? It seems that snorting works much better, but I have read otherwise that the bioavailability is much higher than insufflation.
I am worried to try again, as I have wasted a fair bit of dope due to this. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT: I think this should have been posted in BDD. Sorry about that!

Regarding the plugging aspect - you are better off using an 1ml - 3ml syringe minus the needle tip of course, 20mgs of anything fits into a 1ml. Put it all the way to the hilt and shoot. I find that distance or at least 2-3 inches deep more effective and unless you are a BDSM porn star you won't have problems with leakage. We have multiple 'chambers' up there shall we say and you want it past the first ime. I use Suboxone - I know nothing of Heroins rectal BA.
 
Honestly, I don't agree that plugging is a very effective ROA for heroin and therefor not very economical. It's also not very reliable because absorption seems to fluctuate a lot depending on how backed up you are. I know you said you had a bowel movement, which is good, but I could not imagine having to wait to take a shit before I fixed. Back when I was using dope, I would sometimes go 1-2 weeks without taking a dump lol.

Anyway, I also think you're sticking the syringe too far up your rectum. you really only need to put the tip in. Also, you don't need to put your legs up in the air. You really don't want the solution going that far up (or down) your ass. For me, laying on my side has always worked best. This being said, I've only plugged heroin a handful of times, but I have plugged amphetamine a bunch as well as buprenorphine.
 
There's a Megathread on plugging with a lot of information. Although I've never used heroin, plugging has worked best lying on your left side for 20 minutes afterward.
 
I know lots of people swear by it but the quoted BA of rectal administration of morphine isnt that much greater than oral (not sure about heroin but probably similar). I've plugged prepped morphine tablets before in an attempt to get the most out of my script for pain at the time and it didn't seem to work well and was very hit and miss. The fact that chronic opiate use is associated with such severe constipation can't help matters though as I imagine a lot of the drug is simply absorbed into the faeces rather than through the rectum wall....
 
No I will NOT help you plug. The part where you were sticking your arse up in the air... Completely unattractive...
 
And a females ass in the air is heaven.....anyway.

I always use a 'microlax' enema first - takes about two minutes before you are running to the toilet. Once I know I'm done I load up a prepped mix of 16-20mgs bupe/2ml water into a 3ml barrel pushed to the hilt and shoot, clench while you pull out to ensure it doesn't try a leak down towards your outta sphincter - you want it past that first 'chamber' in my experience which is every single morning for the past 5 months.

Once I've shot it I can return to what I was doing and that is sitting on my ass drinking coffee smoking cigarettes surfing BL. It's very effective with bupe but I mainly started doing this ROA cos I hate that shitty lime flavour and I want to smoke and drink coffee before I get ready for for work.
