Got my syringes,my lemon,spoon, and lighter
I tried to iv it.I failed very hard.I hit the needle in all my veins (not deep) but failed... Do I need to stick it deeper?because when I shot, the needle was above the vein so I don't think I missed...
Thanks in advance and please don't say that this is bad etc
I know how bad it is
And how sad it is
 
Thanks man they said that I should stick the needle at 45 degree angle and then let it drop flat with my arm what's your opinion on that?
 
Lift some weights or run your arms under hot water until you can see your veins. Pull back the plunger and if blood comes in the syringe, your good to go.
 
hold the needle steady and go as deep as it takes to hit a vein but not an artery veins will have darker blood usually and arteries will have very light red blood and it should burn if your in an artery
 
If you value your health, don't use lemons to inject with, go find some vitamin C, pure citric acid, or white vinegar if you must. Injecting with lemons/lemon juice is a good way to get a fungal infection in your blood.
 
Just use water :)


Keep your eye at the base of the rig for that little bit of blood. It's possible you have hit your vein you are just not seeing it. When you DO see it, pull back. It should fill up nicely but don't wait too long till you push it or it will fill up too much and coagulate.


I hate to say it but practice makes perfect. I just now started getting it right after 3 years VERY on and off.
 
As sekio mentioned, don't use lemon juice to dissolve the heroin. Use the citric acid, but first make sure it's heroin base that you have by seeing if it will dissolve in water alone.

Then for hitting a vein pull the plunger back right when the needle point breaks skin, this was it creates a vacuum that will fill with blood right when you get it the vein.

Well not when the needle breaks skin... Once it hits the vein of course but surely it doesn't hit it every time.

Who said to go in at a 45 degree angle? That's very steep. Some veins require a sharper angle than others, but if you go to deep, you'll pierce right through the vein. Most injection guides use around a 15 degree angle, no more than 30 for the most part. Also make sure the bevel of the needle is facing up. If you're going in the main veins in the crook of your elbow, which is where you should be going just starting out, you do not need to go that deep. They are close to the surface. Are you using a tourniquet? That can make it much easier.

What size needles are you using?

I know that it's more common to wait until you think you are in the vein before pulling the plunger back to register, especially once you get the hang of it. But until then it's easier for some people to pull back on the plunger right when the needle point breaks the skin because then the blood will rush in once you get in the vein so then you will be ready to go and you are less likely to slip out of the vein which can happen when you are trying to pull the plunger back once you think you're in the vein.
 
Shit, you can pull back a little bit before you even go in. I used to do it all the time with 25g rigs. Soon as it goes in a little blood shoots in. And a few units of air isn't going to do anything.
 
Yeah they come with 3ml needles here and the people at the needle exchange get shitty when I ask for the 27gauge needles to go with the 3ml barrels. You can tell they don't IV.

I'm not using a tourniquet, just a belt but it didn't really make a big difference. I'm using the 1ml insulin syringes you know the orange ones.By the way, the crook of the elbow got many veins and I don't know what to hit.Because of that I will use the arm vein(between the palm and the elbow)

Please, walk away now while you still can. I beg of you, don't go down this road. If you start wrecking veins now before you're even physically addicted, you'll be in a world of pain later down the line.

Do exercise to release endorphins instead.
 
I've gave my two pence in one of your previous threads. IV heroin doesn't just kill you. It takes your friends, your family, your treasured belongings, your home - you know the kind of things you always hear people saying "these things we take for granted". Then - it takes your mind, your esteem, your whole perspective of your own self worth. Then, only then - will it kill you, that is of course, if you haven't already killed yourself through an accidental OD or suicide. Anything or anyone you ever held dear to your heart - you had better be prepared to kiss goodbye to FOREVER. Because once its gone man - that's generally how it stays.

Second chances are far and few between when it comes to opiates - never mind when you've got the point of injecting the devil's brown snow.

I'm physically dependent on opiates. And I have perfect veins. Hell the homeboys use to joke around that I could rent them out to other junkie ;)... if only, getting paid for the use of my veins - does that count towards use of my mu-receptors too?

All joking aside. Everything I've just said there, about losing friends, family, your self worth etc.. I've lost it all. Through the oral use of pharmaceutical grade opiates. The only time I've tried to inject was when I was drunk as shit once and a home boy dared me to shoot some water (It was a double dutch darwin dare..... you know how those go). I got the needle under my skin - I think I popped into the vein - then I shite out. Pulled it out, and gave myself a good slapping.

Now if I havent managed to talk you out of this - bin those lemons. Get some citric acid sachetes. Get some alcohol swaps too. And for the love of Charles Darwin himself.... TREAD CAREFULLY WITH YOUR DOSAGE. Your you might just be the winner of Charles Darwin's infamous award.

But please... don't do this. You'll have hell of a fine time snorting or smoking horse.

Hmmm yeah I guess that would work. I just relate pulling back empty handed to complete frustration so I always wait till I see that wee little bit of blood at the bottom because then I *know* when I pull back I've already registered.

But yeah give it a go! =D
