a lot of new guys also put too much air into the bottles. It makes it easier to extract, but make sure ur not overload the bottle with air man I used to do that when i started working out and you get a shitload more air bubbles.

true so ****ing true, be gentle, treat it like your woman

When I get bubbles I draw it into the syringe past the needle, recap needle pull it off the flick until bubbles rise, put needle back and stick it. I think by taken the needed off takes the pressure off and makes them rise quicker

yep hes right!

Bro, you win for the ugliest avatar.

Stop worrying. Flick it a few times and make sure its pushed up to the end of the barrel. Youll be fine.

damn i just injected 3 cc of air..well time to take a dirt nap...just kidding some people say it takes a full 3cc of air to kill you. althought it is good practice to get all bubbles out if you dont , dont worry you will not die. after all when you asperate when you inject do you not get bubbles in the needle anyway..lol think about it

I wouldnt be too concerned about bubbles, try to get as many out as you can, but they will not hurt you at all. You are injecting into your muscle not a vien.

The bubbles that appear when you aspirate are NOT air. That is vaccuum.

I actually like to have about .1cc of air in the rig when I shoot. That purges out the gear that would have just been wasted. This is no big deal shooting 2-3cc a couple times a week, but when you do smaller shots or when you go ED, it is a significant loss, so I do it. The idea is to see how much gear remains in the pin ferrule (The connect-y part) after a shot, and leave an equivelant amount of air in the rig before you shoot next time. For this to work good, the rig needs to be with the pin pointing downward, so glute shots should be done laying on your stomach for best results. Quad shots work great.

If you happen to inject a tiny bit of air, it truly is no biggie. The reason that a large amount of air IN A VEIN is dangerous is that when that bubble of air reaches the heart or brain or any other life sustaining tissue, while the air is passing through the cappilaries in the area, there is no blood in those cappilaries and therefore no oxygen or nutrients. The tissue in the area can die or simply refuse to work. If your heart muscle refuses to contract, well, that sucks. But for this to happen, the affected tissue must go without blood flow for a few minutes, not just seconds. A .1cc air bubble will pass pretty quickly and eventually be purged from the blood in the lungs, I guess. Also, said bubble is quite likely to end up in muscle tissue rather than heart or brain.

All in all, you are much, much more at risk of an abscess than an air embolism induced stroke or heart attack.

also fill the syringe with air & then push the air into the bottle & this will preasurize the bottle making the liquid come out faster wihtout as many bubbles if any

use an 18g to draw and you wont see 1 d@mn bubble in the syringe
