Losing juice when injecting

**BigMan65** · 09-14-2005, 02:35 PM

when i inject sometimes it seems like maybe gear runns back out of the injection spot, like a eye tear runs down maybe 3 inch, why do i lose gear like this and how much gear am i losing?

Thanks

Gear loss is minimal, as long as you are using a small g needle, no more than what fits between the plunger and tip of the needle . A lot of guys forget that the needle retains a small amount of gear that you can not push out of the syringe, so when using large needles for drawing you can lose a lot of gear this way, 18g 1.5 needle will hold .10cc. I found this out the hard way 8 week cycle done in about 6.5 wks.

im sure there are pages on this somewhere, but short and sweet: what gauge would you reccommend for extract and for inject?

I extract with 18g usually...and inject g size depends, 23 or 25 g for me, but like i said, it depends on what your shootin'

I noticed the faster i shoot the more runs out of my injection site... inject the juice nice and slowly give it time to settle in do not just blast the juice in your muscle, or it will come back out.

I alos have this happen. I go slower, it helps. But I also pull the skin just a littel before injecting. Then when you pull the pin out the skin goes back and no gear comes out.

Works for me!!

I had problems with this whenever i was using 20g pins. Extracting and injecting were always easy compared to my previous 22g. But now that i've gotten use to the 20g and I'm using 23g, it seems like i'm sittin there forever, injecting and extracting.

i notice the same..
also, if your not injecting deep enough ive been told..
i did 1.5" pins 22g for quads, and glutes.. 1" pins 25g for biceps, delts..
i never had a problem with gear comin out, in my most recent cycle..

Like the others have said slow down the injection......... also leave it in for like 10 seconds to help the oil absorb a little.

Do a search on the z-track method..........

Vein-I personally will not draw with anything bigger than 21g, the reason, I have had 18g actually nock chunks out of the stopper and drop it into your gear-thankfully I saw it and didn't stick it in my thigh. I was warned of this but wanted a fast draw-but it does happen. As far as injects it depends on where you shoot, thighs/ass I go 1.5 23g, delts 25g 1.
