Help with IV vein heroin

[monkeybutt215]

I've only been IVing for like 3 weeks. My veins are so tiny (I'm very thin). One vein in the crook of my right arm has scar tissue from when I was very sick as a child. I rotated sites and haven't done it that much, and yet now I cannot FIND any veins and if I do after a shower they rarely register. Sometimes I can still inject and it won't burn but I think that's a skin pop? Def not the same rush. I'm not that healthy but I've been trying to drink a ton of water and eat more often. Even experienced used took like 45 min to hit one on my back fore arms. My hips are true bruised but they worked once. It's like after one vein they're done. Does anyone have ANY advice? I hate wasting dope. I stopped snorting because my allergies are so bad, like I said I've only been IVing for 3 weeks, and the first time I hit veins (hip, front of hands, back of wrist, crook of elbow--feet never register). Then they won't work again. How long should I wait for them to heal? Like I said it's NOT been long term use in these veins. Please help me and give me any advice. I feel like I just end up shooting it near a vein--although it doesn't burn the rush is obviously different. If I had some advice on different areas or how to heal them or better ways to get them to come out, I'd really appreciate it. I feel like I'm wasting so much.

Heroin megathread up there. Vein charts.

Try gatorade not full shower, as sodium content\potassium helps. Apply heat to puncture site, like a warm rag or hand warmer.

As harm reduction just remember how hard it'll be to find veins once they're trashed. We all think we're missing so much dope, but you're not unless you don't go in properly. Take care of your veins, they have to last you for life!

I IV every few months a few times, rotate arms, never in hands or feet. Yes, there's a rush, but for me snorting last longer, and I don't fear overdose as much.
