New member, new IV'er, filtration question for you guys

[bigwillyfreestyle]

Hey guys I'm freestyle, long time cocaine user off and on. Recently I've been experimenting with acetone washes, cooking crack, smoking freebase, etc. I've been interested in the various routes of administration for cocaine and decided to take the IV plunge today (no pun intended). I'll give a brief rundown of my procedure today and see what you guys think/have to suggest. My main question however is on the filtration process.

anywho -
I put my cocaine into a spoon, approximately a bump I guess you could say
added about .5 cc of sterile water
stirred until completely dissolved
took a piece of cotton about the size of a Roxy (dunno why that came to mind but fairly accurate)
stuck the needle in the cotton
placed cotton in water/cocaine solution and drew into syringe
about .3 cc of solution made it into the syringe

shot and felt a slight rush but nothing near what I was expecting.

my main question is regarding the filtration process. Am I using too much cotton? Too little water? I feel like filtering with cotton is pretty friggin self explanatory but I want exact details so I don't waste any yayo.

Next time I plan to use double the cocaine and about 1cc of water.

any critiques or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hi there and welcome to Bluelight

We have a drug basic thread here where you may find some useful information on filtering / injecting etc. There is another IV specific thread here.

Did you test your coke first ? Is it effective if you snort it? Also another point to mention (no pun intended) is wheel filters - much cleaner and effective than a cotton.
