Ciggie filters are fine, they're standard issue in pharmacies and needle exchanges in Australia.

I typically use 1/8th of a filter probably?


Not all are the same. Some of them are a cotton type material, some seem to be made of fiberglass - or at least some sort of material that melts and bubbles under flame, and there are brands that have charcoal particles in them. this is likely a regional thing though, so I would not advocate this.

yeah as long as you got a good technique and you're doing it properly doesn't really matter what king of grip you're using
 
yea i use my thumb and index finger to work the plunger and register...when using a piece of cotton, i try and make the rolled up piece the size of a bb. cause when u drop it into the spoon, it swells up really quick. always use a cotton, there is some nasty particulate matter in dope sometimes, shit u dont want in ur veins.
 
Use a big enough wad of cotton that it'll cover the entire hole to what you draw up with.

Personally mine are somewhat bigger since I always remove the needletip (They come off on 1/3cc and 1/2 cc needles people! Very useful tip for drawing up and clean up!).

Just roll it up. Don't worry about bacteria from your hands if they aren't too dirty, our vascular system has very good measures against bacteria and the like. It's big, insoluble, indisolvable shit that will fuck you up, like little pieces of dirt and wax and rocks and dust - things that cottons can entirely protect against.

When you filter up, take a look at the bottom of the cotton and you'll see all the shit you've blocked off. Sometimes if you get some real cut shit you're cotton will clog up and won't suck up any more liquid, and that's when you ask you're dealer for a refund.

or how about just putting down the needle?? hmmm?
what do you mean? you mean like removing it and sucking it up with the syringe needleless?

yea you taught me evyrything ,but i kinda migrated to what was mor conveinant(sp) i got short fingers,how is you training going? put on any weight yet(lean muscle,or a mix of muscle with a mall percentage of fat)?

(IMO ,i really can offer advice with training cause different stuff works for everyone,but my guess is a very good thing to add to your diet would be" muscle milk" and down as much milk a day as you can .....i dont know what it is about milk but it always adds size/weight to anyone drinking enough,muscle milk is a protein powder,rtd look it up )

but of coarse diet is the key role as well,but add the milk as well as muscle milk

yeah, i showed you how to boot up properly. you got pretty good at it tho, just like everyone that starts to IV you get your own technique down to what works the easiest for you. yeah, ive put on about 10lbs in the past 3 months, i look more cut up, not really much bigger. ive been doing the whey protein route, drinking lots of milk and eating a lot of pbj sandwiches inbetween meals.

sorry shoulda took it to pm :),now people prob think we shoot up with mik hahaha oh
lmao now i understand. i so thought you were so fucked up that you were writting nonsense lol =D
 
I guess my only real question left now is if it's possible to get all the dope back from the filter (except the stuff it filters out, haha) or if some of it gets stuck in there.
Thanks for everyones replies. =D
 
all that gets stuck on the filter is shit like he said ur dope is all dissolved in the water jee
 
If you're talking about re-using cottons the reason it works is because it's nearly impossible to suck them 100% clean dry, so some of the dope remains on the cotton. Very little does though, and it's not worth it at all. You need many cottons and would have to be injecting relatively thicker solutions, and not really sucking it all up so they are somewhat saturated and just air-dry.

There's also the whole debate if using cottons is even safe as well, which has been done quite a bit. I believe the consensus was that they could, if you kept them air-dried and refrigerated.
 
I'm not an IV user but why not just give the cottons a little resoak and squeeze out the liquid and consume orally? Or just swallow the cottons.

Waste not want not and all that.
 
the cotton contains very little dope if you soak them or just eat them you get very little dope and heroin has a very low bioavailability so the truth is cottons are nearly worthless orally and very likely to cause problems if you shoot them

You can go for it. Personally I try to not use cottons, and usually throw them away when I'm done, but after one of my binges I always notice I keep a few in an airtight container. I must admit, they do add a bit, but I use them to supplement the last shot of my stash that, by itself, wouldn't give as satisfying a high.

Don't rely on them at all though, and it takes ALOT of cottons to be of any use.

They really aren't any good, but hey, we're all druggies here.
