Heroin Where to shoot heroin

Make sure you have standard needles, depending on how much heroin u are shooting at once you wil
Need to either get a 1/2cc syringe typically 27-29 gauge, and preferably short tips so you can poke right into your fresh meaty vein and skip chances of piercings vein, get this if you are not shooting more than 3-4 standard bags. 1cc long tip is more for users who shoot a lot at once and need 100 units, longer needlepoint for bad or tricky veins and maneuvering. The 27-29 gauge is the size of the needle as how thin it is, the lower the gauge the bigger the needle point is. But generally those are the gauges most commonly sold. Iuse 30-31cc cause I have tiny veins in my wrist and blew all my others. For shooting up go into your forearm and make sure Needle tip is facing upward and go at a low slant not a jab lol but what the above poster said . That lovely forearm spot won't have veins for long if you use same needle repeadetly or shoot at same spot...soon enough will find yourself spending thirty mins getting a vein. Wish best of luck
 
I'm not a fan of snorting, the high is a complete whole other world. I used to snort and would only feel high for an hour and soon wuld be snorting more and more . When I switched to shooting I saved money and needed less. Bags to get high and was high
Longer..?
 
... I guess its a Chicago term what ur saying is correct but a jab just means a shot or another word for a fix not just jab ur arm lol duh

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.

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 don't mean to sound callous, but this OP sounds pretty committed. If he/she is like any other person with an addictive personality and has gone so far as to make this thread and from what I gather has made similar ones you guys are wasting ur breath esp in OD, if the OP had serious reservations he/she could be talked out of he/she would have posted in TDS imo also not bought the gear and the rigs too.

I ain't an IVier or a heroin addict I'm an opiate dependant pain patient (leaning on the fiend/addict side now tbph). When my oxy script runs short as it always dose I buy good h to bridge the gap.
 
The vein running along your ankle is easy to hit and u can use both hands if your not very coordinated.

You're obviously doing damage then. Your technique is probably off or you're using improper equipment. What sized needle are you using, and are you using a fresh one every time? Dull needles will make you bruise and do a lot more damage. Also, if you're using a tourniquet, make sure you release it prior to injecting. Just be gentle in general. The bruises will go away though. They just look like shit.
 
Proper injection technique is not something you are inherently born with. No one picks up a bicycle the 1st time a bolts away.

These are the best tips I can give you (not necessarily in order from most important to least important):

Always inject toward the heart. The bevel should be facing your eyes (up) so as to not block the liquid from shooting the direction of the blood flow. No matter WHAT you are injecting, you should not feel any pain EVER; if you do, something is wrong/. You may have slipped out, you may be using a half dead vein, etc..

use a new syringe/needle for every time you puncture the skin. I don't mean a new barrel but the actual needle part. They dull VERY quickly. Sharp needles can literally make the difference between heaven and hell injecting. A dull needle rips the skin and veins, that's if it does not just roll/push the vein to the side. A sharp n eedle puncture the skin and veins. This makes injecting easier and healing times way quicker. A proper injection will have no pain during or after the injection besides the initial puncture of the top layer of skin.

The plunger should move freely when you are in a vein and injecting, as freely as it would if you were shooting the substance into the air like a water gun. IF you encounter resistance, pull out and start over aggain, you missed or slipped out of the vein. Avoid learning to inject with cocaine, as it is the hardest drug to inject if you are new to the game. If you slip out you will not feelt he miss as it is a topical anesthetic and will numb the area. It causes vasoconstriction so it becomes easier to loose the vein mid shot

pick and choose your veins, certain veins may looks easier but are actually harder to hit for instance veins on the underside of your wrist, avoid those at all costs no matter how easy they might look to hit/. I am a bit fat for instance. When I first ever injected the only visible veins were in my hands and they were mad small/ Naturally I thought I should be using these. I found my most reliable vein/site to be the cephalic. I hit it a few inches under teh base of the thumb (injecting toweard the hard of course). WHen you tie off you will see the skin bulge and it will feel squishy and have an elasticity to it. You may not ever see the green/blue vein underneath.

Don't use one single injection site. EWveryone has veins. and if you are a boy you have better veins than girls (generally speaking). Being overweight I thought injecting was going to be impossible. I dont think I missed a hit in the last 2000 shots I did, and I literally have no VISIBLE usable veins (like those dudes you see sometimes with massive veins bulging out of everywhere... You will learn with time. Soon you will know exactly where to hit.

use the vacuum technique. Use it right. The right way is to puncture the skin a few MM deep, pull back 1-3 units to create suction, then continue to move the needle until you see a plume of blood. When you initially inject you want a shallow angle and to use a stabbing motion. You want to be precise but if you move too slow youo will roll the vein (depending where you are hitting). The wrong way to use this technique is to stick the needle all the way in (through both sides of the vein) then create suction and start to pull back until you see the plume. This creates a second puncture on the bottom side of the vein./ This causees you to have leakage whcih wastes drugs and lets foreign particles out of your veins putting you more at risk for infection. Do not pull back more than 5 units of air because too much suction can collapse a vein, especially on smaller ones like hand veins furthest from the heart.

When you are looking for the flash ofo blood in the barrel, it should flow in nearly as freely as liquid would. If it trickles in do not proceed to inject, you need a new site or vein. Avoid injecting into valves (you will know a valve because it will be a lump along the vein if that makes sense.

Once you register, anchor your needle. You entered at a shallow angle, so once in. the bottom of the barrel should pretty much be touching the skin, I push down to anchor so as to not allow the needle to move 1mm eithe rway be it in or out. I also like to register another unit of blood half way through the shot. But unless your injecting coke, you will know if you slip out, you will start to feel a slight to sharp pain. DO NOT PROCEED TO INJECT. Before you inject and after you anchor your needle, REMOVFE THE TOURNIQUET then proceed to inject. If you are new, it may be easier to leave the tourniquet on but loose, to cause a slight restriction in bloodflow but not fully. You never watn to tie off for more than a minute or so. IF you cant inject by then, remove tourniquet and wait a few minutes then try agian.

If you are havin trouble injecting and end up with coagulated blood in the barrel, shoot it up your nose, do not try to force it though the needle into your body.

the closer you inject to your heart on any one given vein, the thicker and easier it is going to be to hit. That being said, certain areas of your body are more likely to have "rolling" veins than others.

For me the best and most reliable spots are cephalic under the base of the thumb on each arm, and the large veins in the crook of your elbow. Avoid thin little veins like in hands. Avoid injecting below the belt, always.

Oh yeah, always filter your shots with atleast cotton. Ideally you micron filter espeically if oyu shoot pills. Forcoke and dope cotton is enough IMO.

ROTATE INJECTION SITES AND USE A NEW NEEDLE EVERY TIME. I can not stress this enough. This will make the difference between collapsed veins in a few months to perfectly functioning veins after thousands of injections (speaking from experience).

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.

Yep, get a good vacuum and, if you must, "fish" for a vein. You'll know when you're in when the blood RUSHES in.

BTW...I saw you on the PD forum talking about IV'ng DMT. You ought to get the basics down before you just start shooting everything in sight IMHO.

Well, people IV it for that rush, ya know? But I do know plenty of people who actually prefer the feeling of it snorted, who don't care that much for the rush, and would rather the longer duration high from snorting.

There's always "skin popping" I used to do mine that way...for a slow onset and longer duration.
This way tapping a vein is unnecessary.
Also, if you "filled up a spoon" and are still kicking...you might want to check your source...sounds like you're getting shit for smack.

I have to chime in here. Skin popping is not, and never will be safe or acceptable with heroin/cocaine.

Either inject into a muscle or a vein. A vein for a fast onset and muscle for a slow onset. That is unless of course you enjoy abscesses.
 
So it's actually not an issue to IM heroin? I did not know that. Seems a much easier route, but I'm guessing the effects aren't as good, otherwise it would be more popular?
 
^ IM heroin is basically the exact same as IV, except you lose the rush. And it take 2-3 min to hit instead of 10 seconds..
 
There comes a art to IVing drugs, short tip needles are better for the addict with big nice veins, less chance for rolling veins. Even. At times I would hit s vein my arm would still break out WHY. Holes in my veins ??
 
I just want to get a killer dose- I have never tried 'real' opiates before, but I want to feel the ultimate euphoria.

There is no rush from skin popping. It also easily leads to infections, abscesses, etc. It is not a good ROA at all.

Do some research and read the multitude of heroin threads on here, and the detailed posts about how H has ruined peoples lives.. hopefully you'll change your mind, because you have no clue what you're getting into.
