    Bubbles in vial?

    I just want to run this by you guys to see if it's an issue or not. I got 3 ml left in my 10 ml bottle. Just yesterday I noticed what looks like tiny little bubbles in the gear. When I say tiny I mean tiny. Did I F it up while drawing from it? Maybe air got in there? Just wondering if it's still ok to pin it?

    You would be surprised how much air it would actually take to kill you. Don't worry about it. Personally, I use .3 or so ml of air to push as much of the AAS I inject through the needle into my muscle. Waste not want not...

    Lol...

    Not too worried about the air, more about contamination.

    As long as it is air its no big deal. What you need to do is look closely and make sure it's not pieces of the rubber stopper punched out and floating around in there. What size needle do you draw with? I used to use an 18 g on my 20 ml vials but got a piece of stopper in my vial near the end. Now I use 21 g and I can use the vials twice with no problems.

    I started off using 22g but now I'm using 25g.

    Well not just that, you don't mainline gear. So a little air doesn't matter.

    OP, The thing I'd be concerned with as far as the air bubbles go is how much gear is it displacing. But even then, it's not going to add up to anything measurable by you, so it doesn't matter.

    When you draw from your vial you should be putting in as much air (ml wise) as your draw out in liquid. This means you will always have "outside" air in your vial. If your gear is a little airated it should be just fine. The bacterio static agents, as their name implies, are in your vial for just this reason
    On the other hand, if you have pieces of the rubber stopper in your vial get a filter qnd filter it.

    i do all my injections in my vacuum sealed vault in my house. That way i don't get any air in anywhere. Of course i wear my scuba gear so i can breath.

    The vault also keeps my produce fresh

    Hahaha. Only a newbie wouldn't have his own vacuum chamber to keep air out of his vials.

    I got one with my first cycle. Then waited for my gear to run out before getting my PCT chems ordered. Then again I'm organized...

    They threw one in when I bought my gear off that Buy Steroids .com banner.

    I'm new and may be wrong but I thought you we're supposed to push air into the vial the same amount of gear you pull out? So you would always have some bubbles.

    This is correct...and also the reason why we're having fun with the OP.

    Is this safe? I have been wondering about this for a while now... maybe not .3, but .1 or less.. Lost 4.5 doses out of my last 20 dose vial due to the .1 or so left in the syringe/needle every time.. Does cause more pain/soreness? or anything other side effects?

    It's totally safe. You'd need to fill an entire syringe with air and shoot it straight into your carotid artery to give yourself an air embolism.
    And no, it doesn't hurt. I once pumped about an entire CC of air into my quad (sub-Q) for the hell of it. It just left an air pocket under the skin than soon dispersed.

    Let me put it this way, you're trying to not shoot gear in to a vein (and I hope you aspirate to prevent this), so if a little air gets in the muscle it's no big deal. Even if you got it in the vein, you should still be okay (don't try to IV air in yourself), it takes more than you probably think to kill you.
