Warming up test suspension

[Elexecution]

I have found that warming up test suspension helps greatly with the injection pain and prevents it from plugging up the needle, even with a 25g. However, after many times warming it up, the vial looks a bit merky inside. Is it OK to constantly warm up my vial, adding up to 20 times before the vial is gone?

I have a feeling it's fine, but am always sure to gather up all the information I can from some of the vets here

It should be fine as long as you are not heating it to some extreme temperature. I did the same when I used winny suspension but it still got stuck in the pin sometimes even with 22G pins.

[Elexecution]

I put hot water in a coffee mug and put it in the microwave for 60 seconds. I was just wondering about the merkiness, and it could have just been in my mind but toward the latter injections of the vial I didn't feel as pumped working out. It was bothering the hell out of me and I had to come on here to find out if it was alright...

[Booz]

why heat the vial in the 1st place,
take what you need out with the syringe then drop the syringe in a big cup of boiled water for 90 seconds...........

^^exactly

[Elexecution]

I didn't want the top of the syringe(where the needle goes) dunked in tap water.

I'm injecting 2ml oil based (1ml test 250mg & 1ml EQ 200mg) 2x a week. I always load the syringe with an 18g pin then switch to my 25g 1.5" pin. I keep the cap on it and run it under hot water for a minute or two. The water runs around the body the syringe and even when it goes over the cap, its water proof. You could always wipe the neelde with an alcohol swab as well.

Anyway, I am a big fan of warming the oil up. It makes using a 25g pin very easy.

its boiled water mate its clean.............
if you have the needle with its cover on it then there isnt an issue is there..................

[Matt]

Am i alone, because i just hold the vial or syringe in the palm of my hand until its body temp, and then inject. Ive never had any problems.

[Bossman]

I hold the syringe barrel under a small stream of hot tap water for about a minute. This is with the cap on the needle. Always works after hundreds of injections.

You people sure do like to tap dance on the edge of a razor blade don't ya?

First of all, most of your suggestions create the possibility for contamination.

Second, never touch anything to the fresh sterile needle, EVER!

Third if you need to warm up your gear, warm it overnight in a warm environment. I use
my furnace room, when I retrieve it I wipe the entire bottle or amp with alcohol.

You put your gear in a microwave? A MICROWAVE!!! Are you ****ing mad.
You are in effect cooking your gear not heating it. Do you think those fantastic microwaves only heat the water in the cup and not the water in the vial or amp?

The fact that you guys with your poor habits have not had serious problems is a miracle.

May fortune favor the foolish really does apply here.

Sorry but i cant see how holding the syringe or vial in the palm of your hand can in anyway cause any kind of infection..

Mad Matt,

I wasn't referring to your method. I don't see a problem with it as long as your hands have been cleaned and sanitized.

I was referring to either warming it up under warm running tap water or dunking it in boiled water or, heaven help us, heating it in a microwave.

It's just not done old man. It's wrong on so many levels. Just because you can drink boiled water the dissolved minerals and compounds that are present in tap or bottled water should not be introduced into your body via injection. Period!

[Bossman]

Sorry anon03191970, you sound tooo anal to me. Do you iron your underwear?

[JinNtonic]

He thinks your putting the cup of water AND the gear in the microwave...

[anon03191970]

Cgb6810,

Yeah I tend to be a little anal about certain things.

My injection procedure and the advice I would give on how to preform a proper one
is one of those things I am anal about and I would think most people would be as well. Sorry if it ruffles some feathers. We're not junkies jonesing for a fix we're supposed to be the most educated drug users there are. And if you don't think your a drug user, well, then I don't know what to tell you. Let's be safe people, OK!

[Bossman]

The needle always sparks when I put the syringe in the microwave...?

You can't be too safe. But I think my procedures are pretty sound.

[anon03191970]

If I misinterpreted the microwave part so sorry. But you still shouldn't be dunking the
vial or amp in any water to warm it up.

[anon03191970]

Cgb6810,

I am glad that you have had no problems, I truly am.

I just think we should give the best advice possible.

If a newbie sees, hey I can just dunk my shit in water to warm it up. He will be starting
with practices that should only be attempted by an experienced user and really not even
then.

You dig where I'm coming from?

[Matt]

I think it was Elexecution said he put his in the micowave..

I would load it up in your syringe and then submerge the syringe in some hot/warm water,,,no need to heat the entire vial each time.

pffffffffffffff and then there is a risk of getting unstrile warter or unwanted bacteria on your syringe or pin-nope i wouldent do that.

get a hair dry and blow the hot air onto the syringe ,this is alot better and alot safer thean puting the syringe in hot warter....

[romo6]

Heat with a blow dryer.

[Elexecution]

I stated I heated the water in a coffee mug in the microwave, and then put the vial in afterwards. Obviously.

I like the blow dryer idea. I agree with anon in that I would never dunk a syringe in tap water. However, putting the vial in water doesn't affect it.

My question, which wasn't attempted to be answered, was if heating the vial would somehow make the gear less powerful after 15-20 times...

[Matt]

The answer is no..
