Take gear to high altuide?

[Streaker]

This may be a stupid question. I have been injecting sust EOD and I need to go to Lake Tahoe this weekend. I will need to inject while I’m there. I will be going from sea level to over 7500 feet and I would rather not take the chance of wasting any gear. Should I preload a pin and just leave some air in it or should I bring the vial up with me and load the pin there? If I bring the vial up with me should I use a pin to remove some of the air before I go up to compensate for the change in altuide? Thanks for your help.

i'd preload a pin before you go up with however much you plan to take while you're there. as far as putting air in it like you asked, why do that? just load the pin up with however much sust you need and you're good to go.

let us know if it changes at all. i'm curious if that really will affect the level it changes to in the pin noticeably or not.

The weak link I'm guessing would be the glass vial because the rubber is flexible, nonetheless, there is ''NO'' chance of the glass exploding 7500'asl is nothing in psig.

This altitud is not enough to be a problem with youre vials.Pre load or take youre vial (s) with you....dont worry...!

ah, i thought his concerns were the dosage not being accurate because of the change in density of the liquid? maybe i misunderstood him.

as far as putting air in it like you asked, why do that?

I got this idea because I have put too much air in the vial before and when I turned the vial upside down to fill a pin a little gear started to form a tear drop on the outside of the bottle. I’m assuming that if there was a big difference between the pressure in the vial and out side the vial that gear could spill out.

I'm on TRT and fly with my testsoterone all the time in my checked luggage. Baggage areas are not pressurized like in the cabin. You wont have any problems, my vials have always been fine.

ah, understood. in that case, go ahead and leave a bit of air in the syringe. won't do any harm. though i'm sure the vial would be fine up there, again, i'm just not sure if there would even be a noticeable difference in a change in volume of the liquid, but i am curious now, so keep us (or at least me with a pm when you find out) posted.

Thanks guys I figured it was no big deal but I would kick my self if I got up there and had problems. I will update this thread when I get back on Monday.

hey, got back from the rockies in feb, stayed at 8,500ft..had no prob at all..

i LIVE AT 8500 FEET AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH GLASS VIALS. PLASTIC SURE MAKES A MESS. LIKE A SHAMPOO BOTTLE OR SIMILAR TYPE CONTAINER. WE LOOSEN THE LIDS ON OUR MILK AND SHAMPOO AND OTHER SIMILAR BOTTLES BEFORE WE DRIVE UP THE HILL. PUT YOUR SHAMPOO AND SIMILAR BOTTLES IN ZIPLOCKS IT WILL SAVE A MESS IN YOUR SUITCASE. WE HAVE TO SHOP AT 4000 FEET, IF YOU ARE WORRIED JUST HAVE IT HANDY AND STICK A NEEDLE IN IT A TIME OR TWO AS YOU DRIVE UP THE HILL AND RELEASE THE PRESSURE. I DO NOTHING TO MY VIALS.......

Yea the more I think about it the less I think there is going to be a problem.

As promised here is the update from this weekend. I left a little air in the syringe and had no problems at all with any leaking out. I was real careful to load exactly .8cc at sea level and it looked to be a little more then .8cc at 7000 feet. I was using a 3cc syringe so I was unable to tell exactly how much volume was added.
On a side note my Lion L-Dex did leak a little but it was not big deal because I had it in a zip lock bag. I’m guessing it was just the pressure effecting the L-Dex that was in the pump.
