Question about injecting...

[High Octane]

I screwed up, rookie that I am, I drew back to 2cc, stuck the needle in pushed the air into the vial, then, turned it upside down, and I couldn't get 1 cc worth of Sust to draw out so I pushed it back in the vial, and tried it all over again, and still barely got it to 1cc....Did I screw up royaly? Can you blow air back into the vial like that? Did I put myself in harm by injecting then? I should be shot...Damn I'm fuckin pissed at myself for being an idiot!

What gauge needle are you using?

[High Octane]

22g 1 1/2 inch

That wikll work bro, and you want to draw as much air as you are going to oil....then just shoot the air into the vial. Then turn it upside down and pull plunger back a couple cc's and hold it until it fills. Maybe run the vial under some warm water too...it might help.

So nothing to worry about? Everything is ok and it wasn't a big deal that I pushed the Sust back in and redrew?

Like js said warm it up a little bit first. Just take your time drawing the sust into the syringe. The oil is thick and it takes it a while to work its way through the needle. I always put a little more air in the vial then I am trying to draw out. Also make sure before you inject that you turn the needle upside down and push all the air out. Until you get a drop of fluid out the top of the needle. Tap the syringe on the side to help get the air out.

You don't have anything to worry about. The only thing I would do is change the pin before you inject. If you have pushed it through the rubber stopper a couple of times it might be dull. I always change the needle anyways.

Warm it up....Ok I'll remember that. I guess I was getting impatient after it seemed so damn slow to draw out. Tap the side you say...Ok I'll remember that as well, I have done everything else including getting the air out, letting some Sust come out to lubricate the needle, and I'm drawing back to make sure theres no blood. This was my second injection both times I went in the thigh (Diff leg of course) Damn my fuckin legs are gonna be sore, my right leg still is sore several days later. For a big guy I feel like a total puss a day after my injection, I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Chimp I changed it after I screwed up the first time. I've been listening to you fellas when you tell me something

Yep if you try to pull the plunger back too fast you create to much vacuum in the syringe. Air will leak past the rubber on the plunger into the syringe. Thats why you didn't get the all the sust you expected.

A lot of people like to use a larger size needle (18-20g) to draw with then change to a smaller needle (23-25g) to inject with. Saves a little time.

You're fine. You are actually supposed to push air into the vial before you draw. Pull back an amount of air equal to the injection and push it into the vial. This creates a little pressure inside the vial so that it's easier to draw out. FYI, I had the same worries on my first injection.

Ya know I have read so much stuff over the last few weeks before I decided to do my first cycle, and I still feel like I don't know shit! There is so much to learn. as a first timer. As you can see by my Avatar I'm pretty muscular and that was all natural, I can't wait to see the gains I see from cycling.
