I've been IVing dilaudid for a few months now and the trickiest part is making sure you're in a vein. You know the drill - insert needle where you think the vein is, pull back a bit on the plunger and hope you see some blood rush in. If not, maybe push a little deeper, pull again and pray...

We've all probably poked ourselves a zillion times trying to find that vein. Usually, at least for me, the problem isn't finding the basic location of the vein, but knowing exactly how DEEP to go. Sometimes don't go deep enough and sometimes, no matter how careful to are, you pierce straight though that sucker and have to start all over.

Well, a few days ago i accidentally discovered a trick that makes this MUCH easier.

Insert the needle where you think the vein is, but be careful NOT to push too deep (in fact you WANT to stop just shy of where you think the vein is). Now pull back a bit on the plunger and HOLD IT THERE. Chances are you won't see any blood (since you purposely didn't insert deep enough) and now, with the plunger held up, slowly push the needle in - when you reach the vein, you'll magically see the blood rush into the syringe and bingo, you're in.

When the plunger is held back it creates the vacuum, which stays active until you give it something to actually suck up; when you finally pierce the vein, the vacuum suddenly has something to work with and so the blood rushes in.

Since i figured this out registering is SO much easier. Push in a little, pull plunger back, hold it, push in slowly and just wait until you see the blood. Then just make sure you hold that needle still!

And you only need to pull the plunger back the tiniest amount - just a smidgeon is enough.

Anyway, hope this helps some of you. I've done a lot of reading on injection and never seen this mentioned before, so maybe I've hit on something most of you haven't tried before...
 
I just posted this technique in another thread.

not saying you stole it or anything....

j/k, this is a known trick, just not known by new users.

thanks for making a new thread for it though, could help some people out using the search engine. it'd probably get more hits if it had the word "technique" in it though. but having the words "IV" and "register" will help. thats something a lot of people don't think about when posting new tricks or techniques to shoot or extract drugs from pills. you gotta think of the words in the title to help others out when searching, or you get a thousand new threads for the same thing because people couldn't find anything in the search feature (even though most of them don't even try)
 
and I hope it works for you, and you get good use from it.

eventually you'll learn to register without even registering! you'll know by feel that you're in.
 
Well Tokin i guess great minds think alike, i had no idea you posted this. And seriously this needs to get spread around, because you may say it's a well known technique, but like i said, i did a ton of research and i read all the threads on here about IVing and i have never seen it mentioned.

And i'm with you 100% about thread titles, too many idiots post vague subject like "check this out" and of course my favorite "need help now!!" unless people post descriptive subject lines the info will never be found in searches (and yes, having IV and REGISTER is this thread's title should be enough to help people looking for info).

But you know some dick head would have posted the same info but titles his thread "you have to try this" thus insuring within a week his thread will be on page 3 and never seen again.

Anyway, i'm glad if between the two of us more people pick up on this, it's really a huge help.
