Problem Drawing. . .

[!@#$%^&]

Ok, just did my first ever shot with a vial. Drew back 1cc of air, injected it into the bottle, but it was still a bitch gettin the oil out. Kept gettin air bubbles and i had to pull back hard, like when i let go, the needle would go back in. What did i do wrong?

use an 18-20 to draw and 23-27 to shot

I draw and shoot with a 25g, no problem. It only takes me a couple minutes to draw with the 25. Have you tried heating up the oil before you draw it out of the vial?

This is what I do:
1. Fill the sink with hot water and place the vial in it.
2. Get all my other stuff ready (needles, alcohol swabs, ect) which takes a few minutes
3. Take the vial from the water, alcohol swab it, flip it upside down and draw out ___CC.
4. Quickly swab my injection area and switch pins
5. Inject!


When drawing, just take it slow. I pull the plunger back a few mm, then let it fill. Pull back a little more and let it fill again..... I always get no air bubbles and nice smooth injections.

i just use an 18 gauge to draw no problems

I usuall draw with a 21g and shoot with 24g, perhaps you can try injecting a bit more air into the vial. Draw slowly, it will take a minute or so. If you pull back too hard it creates too many little bubbles - just be patient. As Easto says, heating also helps.

Just use a 18g to draw & you'll never have a problem.

That's right. Only problem is that a 18G tears up the stopper. I now use 21G or 22G -- works fine, just need a little more patience.

i tried using 18 ga to draw and they tear the stopper easily. i just use the 25 ga now. takes a lil while too draw but it eventualy works.

When you draw out of a bottle poke the rubber then turn it upsidedown and draw. With a vial try to lean it and you will get a little air, but you can push it out before you shoot.

Sounds like it may have needed more air; the pressure inside could have been lower so that 1CC wasn't enough air the first time; try putting more air in for a shot or two and see if that makes it easier (or you can just put a pin through to equalize pressure, then attach the syringe already drawn back, and inject the extra air).

i wouldnt recommend pumping a lot of air in their to make it easier to draw out, getting a different gauge or be patient. You dont want the pressure so high in the vial that when you accidently drop it, it breaks.

 

[AustinTX]

I'm only talking about enough extra air to equalize the pressure (+1cc to draw out); not pumping it full; just sounded like he still had a little vacuum going when drawing....

 

[fatchops]

your doing nothing wrong bro, it just takes a little patience. It only sucks when your drawing more then one AAS. I ain't drawing 1ccof test/and 1ccof EQ in the same sryinge now that sucks. I got myself a drawer he he. Good luck

 

[phoenixphyre]

Fill the sink with some hot water and let the bottle sit in there and heat up a bit; you shouldn't have any problems after that...

What is a drawer???

If im just using one vial, thats only 10 shots for me. Is it gonna tear up the stopper with a 19g that badly before im done with it?

 

[stonecold54]

no it won't 10ml bottles don't get torn up. just don't stick the needle in the same spot. I think the 50 ml bottles get torn up just because of all the uses. I have used 18 gauge to draw for years and never had a problem.

I feel the same way. My Upjohn Cyp comes in 10 ml vials, that's 10 shots worth & I use a 18g to draw, never had a problem with the stopper getting torn up.

exactly heat,larger pins will do the trick

 

[Rhino58]

When you use a 18g that will make a bigger hole in the stopper. Mine leaked last time. You just need some practice.
