How much gear is lost when loading the needle?

[jerryjuice84]

Hey guys,
Not sure if this is the right area for this question but ill shoot anyways. When your cycle includes injections where you must load .5, or 1.5, or even 2.5 cc's i am wondering how we really know that were are getting exactly that much. As we all know, we lose quite a bit of the liquid when we inject. Some stays in the front part(not sure of name) of the syringe, some drips down the needle. If i have for example Winny at 50mg/ml and i want to take lets say 75 mg/day i would fill to an even 1.5 cc, however, do i also take into account i may lose a 1/4 of the cc after injecting?? What should i do to compensate for this?? Any suggestions/ideas or thoughts Please holla. thx

not enough to make any significance in your results.

agreed, we are talking about a couple mg at most of actual gear loss.

If you are losing 1/4cc during injection you are doing something wrong. There is no reason why you should lose any. You do not need to let some of the liquid run down the side of the needle, and just leave some air in the back of the syringe so it pushes out the remaining liquid at the end so none remains in the syringe at all.

I agree with C_Bino, you don't have to lose any. Dripping some down the needle for lubricate isn't necessary and a little air in the back of the syringe to push everything out isn't going to kill you.
