Heating before injection

[garcia7@delanet.com]

Just wandering how many of you guys like to warm up your amps or vials close to body temperature before injecting. I like to do this for 2 reasons: 1) warming up the oil like an ICN or PRIMO makes it thinner and easier to draw into a syringe. 2) The closer to body temperature the less pain involved in injecting. I just toss in a coffee cup of warm water while I'm getting my rubbing alcohol and pins ready.

I run the pin under hot water for 30 seconds to make it easier to inject, I seem to be a little less sore when i inject warm oil into the muscle too

You mention that heating makes it easier tp draw up, why not just use a 18g to draw, then switch pins to a 23 or 25g. ??

Exactly, you took the words right out of my mouth!

I heat it after in the pin, seems to knot up less.

i use a hot water bottle and set the water bottle on the pins that i will be using that night. I leave it on for about fifteen minutes and it is probably close to boiling. then I grab a pin shoot it and do that until they are all gone. even prop seems easier when heated like that. I have also gotten into the habit of doing like 4 shots in one day instead of spreading them throughout the week. LAZY. but it makes prep so easy and then I don't have to worry about them anymore.
