PLEASE SHARE: Tying off... Interesting, easiest & most unique ways & materials.

When the crook of my left arm has available veins, I don't need to tie off, cause those veins were made for a junkie, prominent as shit. When I shoot into my right arm or somewhere else on my left, I typically just use a belt, or a tourniquet that they give for free at the needle exchange (well, everything there is free).

Same. I never had to tie off.
I advised one of my friends (Whom asked my other friend for his belt because he needed to tie off) to use the seatbelt in the car instead of making my other dude take his belt off.
Seatbelts really do come in handy when you need to tie off.

Well, well... Lucky you. (Tongue stuck out emoticon that I can't get on my phone placed here.)
Nah, you really are lucky. I'm a skinny fucker and I turn wrenches for a living. So my veins are stuck way out.
For me, it's not so much about raising the vein as it is increasing the pressure in vein.
IOW's, if I don't have the tie on, I can be right in vein and I won't register more than a tiny trickle if any.
Tie off and that crimson shoots straight in. I use the standard needle exchange tourniquets. When they break I tie the 2 pieces together and use it some more.
Put one end in your teeth, pull the other end round and tuck the stretched end under the other end. Done.
I do not release the tourniquet while injecting cause my veins have a tendency to roll if I do so. It's not recommended to do it that way but I go slow and have never had a blowout.
 
l was always jealous of boy veins...l would use my phone charger and a strap on my purse when l was on the fly. Both were long enough to hold in my teeth. It's been six months since l have done any H though:)

See, I never understood the whole tying-off thing. I suppose that, after shooting up in the same few spots for some extended period of time, the veins begin to go into hiding and so "tying off" helps to bring those veins back to the surface.

I've just never had to tie off before, and so I don't know how it works exactly. I've always gone about it without tying off; I just find a good one, and wham, bam, done. It's funny, too, because I've been shooting up for some time now, more or less in the same few spots, and I haven't had any trouble. It seems to just get easier over time. I'm usually able to hit on the first try, and rarely does it take me more than, say, three pokes...

I really should know this stuff, but I don't, so let me get this straight... you tie off, poke yourself, and when you've registered and see blood in the syringe -- what -- you take the tie off and then you push off? Is that right? You don't push off with the tie still on, do you?

Most women have tiny, delicate veins. Most men I know dont need to tie off unless thry are overweight and their veins are hidden by fat.
For me, I used to tie off, poke, register, relase tie and blast off. Then when my decent veins started collapsing and I had to move to more obscure veins like feet and hands, registering and even finding a vein was difficult, and sometimes releasing the tie would cause the vein to shrink or move and push the needle out, which was very frustrating getting to the point of registering and then lose it. So i started to just push in while the tie was still on to avoid the needle being pushed out of vein. This is not a good method tho because it weakens and sometimes causes tiny veins to rupture because the pressure is too great. It also causes leakage to come out from vein befause the pressure is too great with tie still on. I wish i had man veins, my old best friend hit the same fuckin rope of a vein in the crook of his arm, he would rotate every once in a while but those things were beasts. Very strong walls, thick, prominent and juicy.

This is really surprising to me to hear. I am not new to the dope game, by any means and all the junkies I've dealt with tied off.
Male, female, somewhere in between, all of em. Maybe it wasn't even necessary for a lot of them. I don't know.
I have always had to. Even when I had lovely crook of the arm veins. Now I use the large vein that runs on the inside of your elbow and up your forearm.
I live that fucking vein. Takes all the punishment and asks for more. Been using it for a good while now.

You just described my veins to a fuckin' Tee. 3 years of daily abuse, multiple times a day. No collapsing/blown out vein. Still prominent as fuck & super thick.
I never had to tie off. ever. Poke, pull back, inject. That's all I have to do.
When I see other people tie off & they have prominent juicy veins I always question in my mind "Why?! what's the point? It's not like you can't see your veins dude."
Seriously, what's the point of tying off if you have big great veins?
 
wearing a shirt and have healthy, visible veins? twist and tighten up the sleeve, holding the bunch in the pit of your arm as its stretched out and give a few pumps. let pressure out when registered and injecting.

im sure you all own a shirt except captain heroin.
