Barely any time at all. This sort of thing rarely happens to me, although I have often heard this happening with other users.
I also only use 31G needles, and blood will clot quicker in a smaller gauge than a large one.
For people who have a hard time IVing because it's hard for them to find a vein, they will often get some blood in the syringe, but not even close to a full register. In which case, they will keep trying, but it may or may not fully be plunged before the clot starts to form, therefore, more pressure has to be exerted to finish plunging the whole way.
I have great veins so I can always get it in within seconds. A missed shot is so rare for me that if it happens, I will just set up a new shot instead of doing a second puncture with the same insulin syringe. It just makes more sense to me, as re-using a needle will render undue damage on your veins.
You should know how too flush a needle then, right?
That clotting happens alot with opiates... idk, i guess they're coagulants.
With stims, especially meth/amps/cathinones, its rare too get a clot in the needle because they're actually slight blood thinners

Every time you fail to register properly and remove the needle from your arm you've got too push out the blood in the needle, before you attempt to hit again.
thats called flushing.
if you are getting resistance from the plunger, re-register... if you can't re-register after fishing around, remove the syringe from your arm.
Check to see if its blocked..
if something squirts out, you just fail at shooting, try again
If nothing squirts out, you've got a block.
In this case, boil the kettle asap and rest the needle in the hot water... try squeezing some out now.
if that doesnt work, its a failed shot, throw it away.
since some people really don't want too throw away a shot, I HOPE YOU CAN WORK FAST....FASTER THEN YOU LEARN
