Heroin How to practice before the real thing?

Practicing with sterile water is your best bet as many have already said here. You don't need to worry about air bubbles like some people mentioned earlier. It takes a lot more air than a few bubbles to cause any issues.

Be careful when you finally do get your hands on the real thing. Heroin can cause a lot of problems for you if you let it control you instead of the other way around.
 
find a vein and use your fingernail to press on the vein to where it compresses but doesnt roll. the little indention from your fingernail should be your bulls eye. When i first started shooting I would steady my needle hand by placing it firmly on my arm or hand. One of the first mistakes people that I know made would be not going in point first and then having shakey hands and moving the needle around when they would try to register and push...

If you want real practice for shooting heroin pawn all your posessions pay lawyers thousands spend time in jail lose trust and respect of all your family and friends and make moral compromises that you thought you would never make... Also be prepared for a never ending battle to stay well and stave off withdrawals

I see what your getting at and I pretty much agree with you that heroin addiction leads only to one or two places......jail, or death. But I dont think that is the advice the OP needs right now. He has chosen to do something and has come here to get advice on how to do it properly. He more than likely has thought about the consequences(even if he cant fully understand what they are until he experiences them) and has still made the choice to inject some heroin. So the best thing to do now, in my opinion, would be to answer his question as accurately as possible.
 
The guy seems intent on wanting to shoot up, we aren't his parents. He's not asking whether it's a good idea or not, he wants to know how to do it.

Anyway, if you inject air into an ARTERY, you'll likely cause some serious complications, even a small air bubble can cause a blockage once it gets to the capillaries, and thus loss of a limb (just sticking a needle into an artery without injecting anything can cause serious complications)

If you inject into a vein, the air bubble goes to your heart, which pumps it to your lungs, where the air gets trapped in the capillaries and eventually resolves itself. If you inject enough air this way, it'll block all the capillaries in your lungs and you will suffocate. (YES, the air bubble DOES go to your heart, but the myths that it makes your heart explode are ridiculous. Unless you manage to pump enough air into it to fill up the entire ventricle). In the ordinary course of shooting up, there's no way it's possible to shoot up enough air to cause serious damage. You either have to be doing it intentionally or you have to be incredibly stupid.

It might be possible to block the vein with an air bubble (like an airlock), but you're more likely to cause it to block/collapse due to poor technique or contaminants in the drugs then air.
