Hard to push plunger

[Scuncknuts]

I hate sweating my balls off all twisted around trying to push 3ml into my ass. Have y'all found certain compounds are harder to push or a better technique to just push it fast.

The thicker the substance the tougher to inject. And the bigger the syringe the tougher to inject.

Dude, I've had that happen too. Fuckin' sucks. Jiggling the needle around, giving yourself scar tissue for sure...
Gotta get a friend to help for those hard to reach locations

Start by dropping your loaded syringe into a cup of hot tap water. Do not take the protective sheathing off. This will warm the oil and help (think viscosity) with help make the oil easier to inject.

I'm thinking of heating it with a lighter

 

[goback2013]

Wonder if youre hitting scar tissue..

Eh, I'd use alfresco's method above, or just running hot tap water over it for like 30 seconds.

Also, what gauge needle are you using? I find a 25 gauge to be manageable with a 3ml syringe but anything smaller, like using a 27 gauge, it gets a bit difficult unless the carrier oil is super thin.

Longer esters tend to be harder to inject.

Take a hair dryer to your syringe for a bit before injecting and it should be easier.

Insulin syringes 1 ml at a time. Super easy to pin delts, triceps and ventro glutes and quads.

Or if using a bigger syringe put a metal washer around helps pressing harder

Also put vials in a pretty hot mug of water for a minute or two before drawing

My last inject went in so hard that the plunger folded in half on me

I agree with the 25g rig. I can draw and push just about anything through that. It takes a little longer but it’s super comfortable!

Areas where I have a build up of scar tissue make the plunger hard to depress. I’ll be pushing as hard as I can sometimes and the plunger won’t budge. I’ll have to pull it out slightly and angle it to get all the oil inside my muscle. Never tried to break up my scar tissue either.

Worse is when you hit scar tissue and the shit will not budge.....effin' hate that!

 

[MAD_SCIENTIST]

Did you prime your syringe prior to injecting?

How do you draw the oil in an insulin syringe? My issue is getting all the med out of the hub (normal syringe)

I typically draw the oil with a larger pin like 23 or 25g and the pull the plunger out of the back of the slin pin and back load them. It can be tedious when ur loading up several a day depending on the total volume.

Heat syringe without needle In Heating pad, go deeper past old scar tissue

I draw with a 18g then put into a smaller syringe. 25g min. Have done 30 slin but do not like how the oil goes in.

Ain’t

Ain’t gonna lie - my impatient butt is definitely going to try this. Who’s got time for 30 seconds under hot water these days? Lol

If you want to heat it, use a blow dryer as recommended above. I can only imagine what a lighter would release into the syringe.

Longer esters tend to be harder to inject.

That’s what I did until I threw in the towel and just use a 20/21 gauge now. Now the whole process just takes a few seconds.
