Heroin Problems hitting anyone?

[Metalchik]

I have been sitting for an hour each time trying to hit and I go in my feet now. I never really used the main arm ones because I couldn't find them. I just ruined my last shot it got clogged and I pished it too hard an the whole thing just squirted out on a napkin. This drives me insane I'm about to beat whoevers next to me I'm so mad

 

[captainchroni420]

im not exactly sure what you meen you cant find the main arm one have you shot so much that your arm veins cant be used? if that's not the case then cute off the circulation to your arm then your vein will bulge out and you will have no problem finding it

try drinking alot of fluids after waking up to bulge up your vascular system. Also a short amount of cardio might help like running in place for a few seconds. The more active you are the thicker your veins get since they need to pump more blood into your muscles. That might help..

 

[opiatekrzy]

instead of WASTING YOUR DRUG AND SQUIRTING IT ON A NAPKIN, you can always skin pop it or inject outside the vein, I have done this PLENTY OF TIMES when I couldn't find a vein, yeah I didn't get a rush, but I still got high as fuck, it took 3-5mins to feel its effects, but I don't mind doing it. I noticed when I don't drink plenty of fluids, or eat, or am active, my veins hide and I cant find any, that's why I make sure my body is warm, im hydrated, because hydrating yourself makes ur veins come out more..usually the only times I miss a vein is when im trying to get high and someone is home at my house constantly calling for me and saying "Mike what are u doing upstairts????) or if I hear my dog coming up the stairs I get scared and think its my dad, or if im in public in a car, I get so nervous and shakey I end up misdsing, be in a SAFE PLACE, be hydrated, and warm, ur veins will show up plenty. and NEVER EVER waste ur dope if u cant find a vein, u can always skin pop it or inject it in ur forearm. please I doont need to be bashed by anyone,,just saving u $$ and advice not to waste the shot cuz u cant hit a vein

the veins in my forearm has collapsed rather fast from shooting heroin, after 3 yrs of being clean, my veins came back in my forearms, so I relapsed the used them all up again, now they have collapased again. its now been 5 yrs and oddly my veins are still collapsed at the forearm, I tried tying off very tightly and still cant find nothing there, all I have is my feet and my wrists to shoot.

 

[Boupstarnm]

I've fucked a good bit of my veins up too. I've noticed when i go outside in this 90+ degree weather and its hot and humid, I see veins reappear that I haven't seen in years. Or veins I've never seen popping out like I haven't been a human pin cushion for the past decade.

I know shooting up outside isn't practical at all, but maybe you could find a quite place. And maybe at least make it through the summer. Every time I go outside I see this vein the size of my pinkie finger on my ankle that i can never hit inside.

And if your gear gets clogged, use scissors cut the tip off the syringe and squirt that liquid in your mouth, up your nose or in your ass. Don't ever waste it like that.

Yea I've noticed I can never hit in the cold. And I would ever waste on purpose I squeezed it a bit too hard and it flew fast. Squirting it up the nose or in the ass works?

And that vein on the ankle is my main spot. I never abused my main junky spots, only one spot I used and right now I can't get it due to a tiny bit of miss two days ago.

I'm saying the spots where 90% of addicts go on the arm I have never used really. It's not tht they are collapsed, just was never able to find the veins there. I went on the top of my arms, hands, and feet.

 

[Emily29707]

I know someone who draws blood at a hospital. She told me that if you apply heat to your arms that will make the veins appear easier. She said that sometimes they wrap warm blankets around patients arms when they can't find a vein. Maybe a heating pad would work.

I usually would sit for 2 hours if I have to o make sure I get a perfect hit. I never waste a drop. Last night was a freak accident and pissed me off all night. I just woke up and di my morning blast fine with a 31g short tip in a little vein.

 

[Mr.Scagnattie]

Your veins will always show more when you are warm. Take a hot shower, exercise, etc. Also, use a tourniquet, but make sure it's not too tight as to cut off blood flow all together (and make sure you loosen it prior to injecting).

Once you've done all you can to make sure your veins are as easy to hit as possible, then it comes down to good technique.

Use fresh syringes for every injection. It becomes a lot harder to hit and you do a lot more damage to your veins with dull needles.

Experiment with different angles of penetration. Some veins are shallower/deeper than others and require a steeper/more parallel angle.

Also, try to avoid veins that tend to roll.

 

[pro re nata]

try and stay away from your feet and legs. these veins can blow out easily and are also more likely to get damaged valves which can increase swelling (blood pooling) in your feets and legs.

do some right quick exercise with the area you intend to use, get that blood flowing. open the capillaries more by soaking the area in warm water before you tie off. if you do both of these it will really help bring your veins to the surface and reduce poking and harming yourself more. oh and you wont lose your shot!!

are you using a small gage and not doing a good filtration?? or is your rig getting clogged with blood from a slipped registration? try and stay cool if your gear gets locked up. pull the plunger out and carefully empty the shot back into a clean cooker re-fillter with a fresh rig. if this is not possible hold the rig under hot water running it back and forth over the tip to the start of the barrel then do not push but try and pull up a bit of fresh water and then reset it.

seems like you already have enough anxiety with getting the shot lined up and set.. shit then losing it into a napkin... ughhh.

stay away from those feets.. look for a good healthy spot on your arms or hands do the above and keep your sites/gear/prep as clean as possible and you should be good with minimal marks. try and move around, take the time to really find a few good sites and take care of them and you!!

try to keep calm and good luck!

 

[XThexXTank]

Yeah it pisses me off to when i waste a shot. Especially when theres about a bun in there an i fuck that up. Oh yeah i done punched a whole through my wall before i was so fuckin pissed.

I never had great veins. *however* let me share some of my hard learned lessons on hitting. Trust me I was getting real frustrated until I found other places.

There are a lot of places other than the feet n wrists n forearms

Have u tried the pipeline that runs on the lower back side of your arm (if you fold your arm back toward your chin like the "thinker" ?

There are quite a few decent sized veins in the upper arms.

Your legs have huge ones. They run up the inner part of the calf, inner part of thigh right alongside n above the knee.(there is one that actually crosses the kneecap n you can hit it on the inside easily), your abdomen has a large vein on each side...think the outside of the 6pack lol), your upper thigh as well has numerous veins. They don't normally pop out. But look and you will see them

Side of the wrist is an easy one if you still have those. The inner part of wrist below thumb. But *also* let your hand hang at your side without tying off for about 30 sec and notice this puffy one that appears on the outside of wrist right above the roundish bone that protrudes there...

Back of the knee. But you need help or flexibility.

If this doesn't help, PM me. I have more spots, but those are like last ditch attempts before the jugular etc. which I have not resorted to that or the femoral. Which I was leery of ever using

Thanks for the info. I'm about to try now. I I don't have a spot it is like a process everytime. I'm about to do the excercise and warm water on the arms. The feet is where I hit easily now in two seconds.. Is it that bad??
I'm using 30g short tips tonight it's all I have and pharmacy is closed

I'm not sure what the issue is with it clogging I think the blood gets thick cuz I'm taking so long to hit. I do exactly what you say I pushit out if I can through the needle or in extreme cases I have cut the tip of the pin to get it out.

I'm praying for some luck tonight.. It's the worst watching my bf hit and nod in 2 seconds and I can't hit

 

[Metalchik]

LOL been there done that. Ill start throwing shit or yellin at whose next to me... It's the worst when it's your last shot to get u going in the AM.. Thank god I had 3 bags left for the morning last night!

wip that arm around like your about knock some one or something out.... circular motion. pushups are good too. after your done with the water as you set you tie let you arm drop letting the blood to really flow into your hand, you can feel it. i use to tie off around the area i was hitting, if the hand then just above the wrist. 30 gage will work nicely on the veins on your hand, plus barley leaves a mark! the more rise to the vein the shallower the angle needs to be. having light coming from a slight angle or stronger on one side can help show veins and their contour.

i always had 29 gage and 27 gage 1/2".. it is a process! try to be patient, find your routine with in "the process". time spent being clean and steady or time spent blowing a shot?? i know that itch. but yeah clean and steady= a good hit.

yep .. the feet are not really the best idea. i have seen what blown valves in the legs and feet can do and create down the road and it sucks. bad HR.

hope you found a good sound site

your rig is for sure clogging from blood that is clotting. this can be messy and frustrating and yes add to the process. what i am sayin is to hold you syringe- needle facing down slowly pull the plunger out and then dump the open end into a clean cooker. tapping on the side of the barrel to get your mix with clotting blood in it out. re-fillter this now lovely solution you have into hopefully a fresh rig. if you have to use the clogged one try to clear it out with some water- plunge it a few times then re-filter and go.

enjoy your nod.. play safe. do you guys get narcan from your exchange??

Thanks for taking the time to help me. I just hit in that huge vein on the ankle/foot.
My exchange gives out 1cc 27G x 1/2". Yes I have narcan from the exchange, I have used it before too. I'm trying to go there myself to get the stuff actually, my uncle gets it so it's in the house.

 

[soldmysoul80]

illinois hasnt got narcan available yet you eoukd think chicago would have that by now at least in the city limits. i didnt ask the exchange but i think they woukd have offered it i it was available is that a muscle shot? the narcan? where do they rexcomend injecting that stuff

 

[geekgirl]

Some people, like myself, have the misfortune of having narrower veins than most normal people. A lot of ladies have these smaller veins and it makes it very, very hard to hit. Every time i get a blood test even doctors poke and prod for ages trying to find one of my veins. So i used to have to do the whole bit - swing my arm around, use a torniquet, warm up the area with a hot pack. Even then i would sometimes miss. Which would suck bigtime cause the stuff is insanely expensive in my city.
