Is there any place you can get them locally like at a pharmacy or do you have to buy online? I would like to get some ASAP.
 
um i think the answer to your question is in the IV product review thread i believe, i dont know for sure otherwise i would just answer your question, and i dont wanna look it up myself but the info is here somewhere
 
Ok not much helpful info there.

Side note, can you legally purchase insulin syringes in New Yor nat a pharmacy without an Rx?
 
Not likely to find them locally.

PM TheDankaholic, he knows where to get them.
 
I have PM'd TheDankaholic, he hasn't been online for a while. I hope he's OK.

I checked out one site that someone else got some microns from, but they are OUT of the 0.2 Watsons. !!!

So I checked gpzservices, but am having issues placing an order with them. !!!x2

I'm going to try to place an order with GPZ and I'll see how that works out.

:( dang, I hope he's ok too!
 
Is there any DIY micron filter or something close to it? I'm sure there must be some material that is close. I was looking in my dremel kit and saw these felt tips, seems like they would be better than cotton at least.

No, there really isn't. It's kind of like asking if there's a do-it-yourself heart valve replacement or something like that. Micron filters are a piece of medical equipment that have to be made with strict quality control and advanced manufacturing techniques.

I'd suggest checking out CH's link above, and/or googling .22 or .2 micron filter, before injecting.

I wouldn't recommend trying this yourself, but in he past I've taken the paper from my resporater filter (a clean one 8o ) and backload them into a syringe, then take the cotton filtered solution and backload into that syringe, and push it through into a fresh one. I've had pink jelly come back out clear and "flowing". However I'm sure I'm getting paper particulates in my body when I've done this.

I did this with Morphine XR pills, by the way. Clogging is also an issue, I've bent the hell out of a few rigs trying to push the shit through.
 
sure is legal. But I go to a needle exchange anyways. cant beat free stuff

I found a list of exchanges but I didn't see any in the mid 100s which I though was odd, do you know of a better list? Do you have to register to be part of an exchange, I don't want my name on anything?
 
I know it sounds desperate, I just got a 10 pack of new needles from the phrmacy and now I really want to shoot something. I wish I had a micron filter to IV some adderall. I've done it without microns and just ran it through cotton 10 times, but I know it's not the same..

I disagree.

The needles I get for free, aren't always of quality. The ones I buy are always quality, or I return them and get more from the manufacturer.

The exchange needles can be bent, sometimes the workers take the caps off to show ppl the needle... :| gotta check those opened bags to see if the caps are still on secure.

Yeah and like I said before, it is more expensive to take the subway for $5.50 to one of them then it is to get a $3 10 pack a few blocks away.

How many needles do they even give you at exchanges, and don't they make you drop off old ones or is that only encouraged?

It differs at different exchanges.

At mine, you can get up to 300 syringes, but you "have" to trade in old ones. We have gotten several hundred syringes w/o turning in old ones before but they want to see you turn in old ones.

They do *not* sit there and count them though. You could easily dump in 100-200 of them and be like "here's 300 syringes" then you'd get more than you gave them. It kind of is that easy.

Other exchanges don't have limits so you can get more than 300. However, 300 is a good amount, 2 people can go up and get 600 syringes, and that will last you quite some time.

Damn that's a lot of needles, now I'm picturing that scene in one of the Saw movies with a pit full of syringes, ugh.

Do they only have one type they give out? I would doubt they give you options to choose from. The ones I was indirectly getting from an exchange were 1cc maybe 28 or 29 gauge (looked huge next to my 31Gs) and had a longer needle, I don't know the length but maybe 3/4".

I don't think I will be using enough to make it worth exchanging since subway fare costs as much as 15 from a pharmacy I can walk to. The exchange in NJ this guy I knew also got neat little tubes of sterile distilled water and these little metal mixing caps plus latex tourniquets (which I find a pain in the ass).
 
I'm concerned that you are considering shooting subs (per your other thread) and don't even know where to get micron filters.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster.


Just don't give up and shoot without then, please.

How is shooting subs without a micron a recipe for disaster? Everything else in them is pretty much harmless.

Who here actually has micron filters anyway? People recommend them to everyone but who actually has a source to buy them and uses them? I bet 95% of the people who recommend micron filters have never seen one in person.
 
Im really lucky coz my local NSP(needle and syringe program) stores all kinds of micron filters, most people in other countries or states need to get them off the net or maybe you can write to a manufacturer and get them to send out to you.
