Shooting my buddy up, after about 10 shots in many hours, I hit him in the usual spot, but no blood registers, until I pull it out it flashes but won't register when put in spot where it flashed.. I see the vein pushing his skin so I have to be Right there.. Wtf. Done this 100 times to others and have never had to go more than twice. I tried 10 times at his request before saying no.
 
Why can't I register a hit on him.? I normally giv him his hits with ease, I can see and feel the veins, but no register.
 
You have to be in the vein to register. Which I'm sure you know. You're probably just really coked up and having a hard time hitting him. Other than that you're gonna have a hard time getting answers
 
I figured as much. I can't get him to do it himself. He's determined when I can't hit to just keep trying.. I do not want to poke anyone 20 times. Oh well.
 
Ok I been doing this for 5 years.. I kno the obvious things. I appreciate any responses, but I'm not new to IV drugs. I know this doesn't make sense. That's why I posted. I see the veins. 4. The two main ones on the crook of the arm. I feel the veins. He had me try ten times in the same spot over a 2x2cm obvious big vein. I never have a problem with myself or him for that matter. We IV everyday all day. Does anyone know what's really going on.? Can a vein collapse and appear as healthy as can be.? Are they rolling too bad.? I do not understand this. People claim I'm one of the best at hitting anyone's veins but I couldn't hit his last night. Could the coke just have constricted them to small to continue at the moment.?
 
Try a different site. If you're having trouble hitting in a particular area, you should just go somewhere else. Continually jabbing at the same spot is a really bad idea and only makes it worse.

There could be a lot of reasons why you can't hit him all the sudden. Nobody is going to be able to tell you for sure.
 
Also, without seeing how you inject, which vein is interested, state and position of the chosen vein it's very hard for us to help you.
Could you tell us if he's a regular IV user, how's veins condition and the zone you inject ?
 
I read everything I can. I have very good technique. Like I said I never miss giving myself or anyone a a shot. He normally is an easy hit. Just last night, it was like med. & cub. On both arms were unusable. I'm just seeing if this happens with anyone because I never have the problem personally. I been giving him a few shots a day for a few months and myself for 5 years.
 
Please don't keep trying to hit that same vein man. I have horrible fucking track marks, actually their worse than marks they are legit track lines on both my elbows from long nights of hitting coke over and over again. I hate having these bro, please try and avoid this situation if at all possible.
 
It sounds like you aren't cycling sites. You can't just keep IVing in the same spot in the same vein, especially with a caustic drug like cocaine, over and over again. Eventually the vein is going to start to pinch.
 
you might have to aim the needle a certain angle, if the vein rolls right, aim right. sometimes I aim from the side, if you go from directly above the vein you might have to be quick with your poke so the vein doesn't have time to dodge the needle (they are designed to do that). you might have to push a littke deeper, some times the needle is all the way in and all it needs is a good push to poke through.

oh yeah, make sure you are using a fresh needle. if you are used to using dull ones it can be more difficult to hit with a sharp. also, make sure the needle isn't clogged.
 
^Also, the "Flashing" when you're pulling out? that probably just means you're through the vein....it's registering when you pull out because it's coming back into the vien for a split second as you're pulling out...
