1st injection help

[jleighty17]

we are about to do first injection and want to know if there can be even a small air bubble in the bottom of the syringe or so u have to get every single one out before u inject

make sure there is no air in the pin! A very small one, wont hurt you, but its better to be safe!!

ok cause there is one in the very bottom that wont come out
we are shooting enanthate

[jleighty17]

i think we got it just took 10 minutes of tapping on it

Yea, that happens, just keep taping and try to get them all out! Like I said, a small one wont hurt. But dont start practicing bad habits when it comes to injections!!

The cures for this are:
Warm the amp in hot water for a few minutes before drawing (thins it out)
Draw the enanth in slower (you were getting 'bypass bubbles' from pulling faster than the oil could come in and getting minute air leaks around the needle)
Twist the needle tight with the cover before you remove it

You don't need to be worried about injecting these minute bubbles as long as you are deep enough in the muscle and adequately aspirate the syringe before plunging. However, try to get as many out as possible. An extra minute or two of flicking and waiting are a good insurance policy.
Take a nice hot shower after the shot and run the water over the injected are (after you've put the bandaid on). Don't work the area hard for a couple of days until you know how your body responds to the shot. It usually takes 2-3 shots for an area to get used to it.
