Heating up your gear?

[Skilllzzz]

Hey guys

Just wondering if any of you heat up your gear (and also if this would effect the compound in any way?) Im doin 450mg Test Cyp/week and 450 mg of Masteron E/week. On the vial it says store between 15-30 degrees Celcius, which I do. But I find my injections go way smoother when I heat the compound up a little bit. I do this by filling up a glass of water with very little water (so it covers about half of the vial), and microwaving it until it is quite hot. I slip the vials in there and let them heat up for about 10 or so minutes. It draws much easier and I feel like it reduces soreness a bit. Any of you guys do this? And I am definitely curious if that would in any way effect the compound, because it does say store between 15-30 degrees Celcius.

Thanks guys!

I've heard a lot of people say that they heat it up for easier injections, sometimes by even sticking it in the microwave, which just seems like a big no-no to me. If I were going to heat it up (which I never have), I'd do it the way you just described, or by running hot water over the bottle for a few minutes. I don't believe that it will harm the compound by what you're doing, just makes keep it stored at the correct temp the rest of the time, and considering that many people also recommend using a heating pad on the injection site, it seems right-on target to me. But personally I've never needed to heat up gear, but I would do it if I ever ended up with a compound that was suspended in an oil base that was thicker than the norm.

nope, heating up your gear with warm water does not harm it, though i feel no need for you to place ur h2o in the mic, the hot water from your tap should be enough. years ago i would just fill my pin and run that under hot water and i was gtg but honestly now i just use a 23g & fill and stick no need to warm up..

Thanks guys! I dunno i just find putting it in water is easiest. just heat er up and leave it for a bit. And your probably right about the no need for a microwave thing, but its only thirty seconds anyways. I just find my masteron injections hurt so god damn bad heating it up helps slightly.

But thanks guys! good to know I'm not destroying my gear haha.

I always heat up a wheat bag before I prep my stuff for injection. As I am arranging my needles, band aid, alcohol wipes etc I wrap my gear up in the warmed up wheat bag. Takes 1 or two mins to heat up then its good to go.

Once I am done, I use the wheat bag on the injected area for 5 or 10 mins which really helps prevent soreness the next few days.

I guess you could do the same with a hot water bottle...
