hello everyone! just got done loading my test enth shot.i must have drawn out too fast because i got some bubbles in the syringe,small ones.there also seems to be 2 small bubbles in the barrel i believe its called below the needle.i believe they'll just burst when i inject.this is my first time loading the shot myself had a buddy show me before,i did the inject though.my question is i guess will it kill me to inject this shot?i heard it takes 3 cc's of air straight into a vein to do that.help please i have to do this shot tonight.thanks everyone!!!

Tap the barrel repeatedly while holding it so that the pin is pointing straight up...do this till all the bubbles rise to the top. Then just push out any remaining air in the syringe. Should be good to go then...either way, a tiny bubble or so is not going to kill you.

Good luck,

Good advice. Also to ease your mind a bit, I've injected half a cc of air into my quad with 2 more ccs of gear with no problems. Not proud of it though.

Ya bro there right, remeber your injecting intramuscularly not intervenously , the air cant enter your blood vains from your muscle.

ya man, takes more air in the shot to do damage than what you have described... Shoot away man, you'll be fine

You actually have to shoot the air into a vein and not muscle. Even then it takes 3cc (told by a nurse) although I've read that it takes more... I actually leave about .10cc of air at the top of the syringe (needle pointing down) so that I don’t; leave any gear in the needle. I actually learned this trick from a nurse that works at a Botox clinic... Not that its alot but hey you might as well use what you paid for...

Don't worry about the bubbles. It's common, and won't hurt anything.

I normally get a few bubbles during aspiration, its not a big deal.

it takes like 3+ml of pure air to hurt you i read, if not more so dont stress about bubbles, you have a lot of bubbles in your blood a lot more than you see in that syringe

I do the exact same, i leave .2cc in the syringe so i can get every drop out when injecting...
