First off I guess i should give some background before I go into me and my friend's issue.

We've been using the cook & filter method with my diabetic needles. They are the short type 1/2cc & 8mm length.

We've been doing just fine untill recently. I can register fine and get my hit, but my female friend will register but once she trys to take the hit it will miss.

Its not like shes moving around or getting to excited. I have the same problem when I do it for her as well.

Could it be the needles we use?
Is there any easyer method to injecting?
We dont like skin popping.

Any advice would be great.
 
I wish there was a perfect way to give people advice on how to IV correctly over the internet but unfortunately there just isnt. I would reccommend getting an experienced IV user that you know to help you in person.
Because, allthough im sure you will get plenty of answers, replies, advice, etc... over the internet, all of it really comes down to individual situations and everyones situation is a little bit different than the next persons situation.
The best advice I can give you other than that is to tell you what I do when I IV my shots.
Once I register my shot with the "blood plume" and start to push down, i only push verrrry slowly and after ive only pushed about 1/8 of the whole thing, I stop and register again to make sure im in(pull back on the plunger to make sure there is still a steady flow of blood), and then once i see the blood plume, i push slowly again, and then I repeat this again....until its all gone......I usually register about 4-5 times for each of my injections. I find this works very well and I havent missed a shot in several months if not years. I just cant remember the last time I missed a shot....and I think that shows my technique works good because when I was a heroin addict, I would re-use needles like 30 times before getting a new one, because I was a poor addict, and because we had no needle exchanges. So this obviously did a number on my veins yet I was still able to inject my shots using my technique described above.
Good luck.
 
I've done that for myself in some of the tricky parts on my hand.

We wont even try her hand. The viens are just to small and hard to find.

We tryed the same method a few times on her with no luck. We get one plume and then magicly we seem to loose our spot and cant get it.

It seems like right after we register the vein will move or disappear.
She cant even do it herself now. She flipped on me when I just did a blind drive and didnt register and just pushed in. Seemed to work for 2 thirds of the hit them a lil blister showed up.

It so confusing. I've only been doing this for a couple of months now. I rarely miss.
I just feel bad cause my friend here is spending her money and isn't gettin the bag for her buck.


Thank you though for your strait up answer. I was expecting two or three trolls to hit on my post but the first guy came in and gave it to me strait up.

I guess she'll just have to smoke it.. just seems so wasteful.
 
Another suggestion is to have her try a longer needle.... If that doesn't work, you just may be better off having her smoke it off some foil. be safe!
 
Rotate where you shoot and ditch those shitty 5/16" needles and get proper 1/2" 30Gs (they don't make 1/2 31s or they are very hard to find). Get better at IVing, I guess being a diabetic doesn't help that skill set when you're used to just jabbing yourself anywhere and not having to aim....
 
I had the same problem when I first started shooting. Unfortunately the only advice I would give you has already been given. Maybe an experienced shooter can help her. Some girls veins are miniature and damn near impossible to find... Glad im a guy with big, bulgy veins :)
 
It is all technique. THe key is is anchoring the needle. By this I mean kind of resting it on your skin. Once you get that plume of blood, you do not want to move even a HAIR. You will exit the vein either by puncturing through ti or coming back out.

What I do is I register int he middel of my shot as well to make sure I am still in. Also if she is going in to sharp of an angle, youa re more likely to come out. If you go in at a shallow angle you have more leeway.

What about if you inject her and see how that works? Maybe she has really thin flat rolley veins? What veins is she hitting? Often times noobs pick odd veins that they think will be good but infact are retarded lol. Becuase they see a lil blue line they are like VEIN!! aND ITS paper thin and shit and like in their finger or something retarded lol
 
psilocybinsane did not me lol..but I see that now. Congrats on bumpin it wit me thoug!! haha
