Hi all.

Iv been bangin gear now for a bit and i was always abel too get myself with no bother at all no tie around noting just stick it in and the blood would fly into the tube and bang! Now i cant get a vain!! Its not that iv used all the vains on my arms iv hardly used any i just cant get at them, im using belts, shoes laces, cabels but i cant get a vain too pop out. I tried stopping smokin but im just wasting monet because im still sick after two 25euro bags... Can anyone help me out on how i should go about finding a vain on my arm? Im just lost and im lossing gear trying and fucken up my arms.

Hope someone can give me some advice thx.
 
Try taking a bath. That works well! Also, squeeze your fist. That is also a great way to pull the veins out of hiding.
 
iv been squeezen my fist but i cant get any vain at all to pop out, fellas that have been doin it for years cant understand how i cant get a vain its messed up...
 
Sounds like a possible collapse.

Try some exercise, specifically lifting weights right before you start looking.


I'd probably take a break from shootin' if I were you. Give yourself some time to heal and see how your veins are doing after that.
 
Not all veins are visible above the skin. Most of the ones i use aren't anyway. Can you not feel any under the skin? They should be soft and bouncey.
If you have no joy i'd give it a rest. I know its easier said than done but its not worth wasting your gear plus you end up looking like a dart board!
 
^ Yea if you can't find one dont be a pin cushon. Just take it some other way if you can =/.
 
Ummm i had the same problem and this is what i did .... Drink plenty of water, alot of it, that will help your veins pop tremendously. Also if you smoke cigs dont do it for 15-20 min before you try to hit it. Finally dont tie the turnique so tight and tie it high on your arm otherwise you are actually pushing the veins down. good luck
 
Hands!!!

Its not the most discreet place to be shooting, but try the veins in the back of your hands. I've collapsed pretty much every vein of decent size in my arms and the ones in back of my hands have been serving me well for over a year now. The best way to do it is to hold one arm down, like from a sitting position, put one hand on the floor, and the other on top of your head or higher. This causes the blood from the higher up arm to flow to the lower one, causing your veins to bulge out more. Also the top of your feet have pretty good ones. Granted both of these places can be painful to shoot in, but when you gotta get high, you'll do what you need to to get high. Hope this helps.
