quick and easy question about vials

So this is the first time i've ever seen multi use vials, i just want to check that all i do is stick the pin through the round indentation in the lid? its a typical silver round lid, and there is a circular engraving in the middle, about a centimeter in diameter. i stick the pin anywhere through this right? and there is meant to be a rubber lining underneath it to seal it back up when i remove the needle right? should i keep sticking the pin in the same spot each week or does it not matter if you create a few different holes?

thanks

the top lid with the engraving on it, is that plastic? if it is a flip top like it sounds, you'd want to pull that off. you should be sticking the needle directly into the rubber stopper itself. directly under the flip top is aluminum... you'd rather not try to pierce that before hitting the stopper because you'll probably end up with pieces of stopper in your gear as the needle will become rather dull trying to go through metal. it wouldn't hurt to try not to stick the exact same spot, for the same reason as above. if you repeatedly stick the same spot you can wind up pushing pieces of rubber stopper through. shouldn't be an issue from a sterility standpoint but you obviously wouldn't want to draw up a piece of rubber and shit that into your muscle.

Oh man, post like this scare the hell out of me.
My crystal ball tells me your next question will be on how to draw and where to inject.
 
if you dont know about this flip tops and thought you had to push thru the plastic
your not ready by no means.
 
man thats just common sense to pull the top off before you draw...did you really thing you had to pierce the plastic lid with the needle?
I dont mean to flame bro but thats one of the best newbi questions ever,but im glad you asked before attempting something so stupid.

So pull the lid off,you can usually pop it back with your thumb.Then once you pop the top lid back continue to tear it off,this is just held on with very thin aluminum that makes up the cap it should not take much effort.Now you just want to tear the top plastic piece off not the cap itself so you should be exposing the rubber seal underneath the cap.
Directly in the center is where this should be pierced with you needle and draw out the solution.
 
pretty annoyed by these responses to be honest. i've done alot of research for my cycle over the past 6 months at least. i know alot about what ill be doing, which is a very basic cycle. im definately ready.

i thought i would be using amps, but instead i have these multi use vials which i have never seen before. that by no means relates to a lack of understanding or research on my cycle. when it comes to using these multi use vials i have found it hard to find info on how to use the damn things, probably because its assumed common knowledge. unfortunately its not common knowledge for me.

no its not a plastic flip top lid. it is an aluminium seal like in the pic i have uploaded. that is not a pic of my gear, thats just a pic i got from the net that has the same top. so i remove this aluminium first so the pin can go directly into the rubber? the whole thing or just the middle circle? how exactly do i do that? it doesn't peel off or twist off or anything... i'd rather ask an easy question than go rushing in and fuking up the lid.
thanks

actually i was thinking of drinking the oil rather than injecting... i think it will be fine like that. tastes good man.


as above

it is not a flip top and it is not plastic and yes i am ready.

there is no plastic lid to flip off. its just the aluminium seal. how does that come off? i assume the whole thing doesn't come off, just the circular part in the centre?
thanks

am I blind or is the rubber right there in plain view in the center of the aluminum? If that's rubber then there is no way in hell that you've studied for six months and are ready... good luck cause I wish you the best.
 
Just peal the middle aluminun circle off and pierce in the middle. Remove the needle you drew with and replace with a fresh sharp needle. The rubber will dull the needle much more than you think. Now run the barrel of the needle under very hot water for a minute or two, this will thin the oil and reduce post inj soreness. Clean inj site, use the z track method (google it if you don't know what that is) and pop it in there. Inject slowly with even pressure, remove needle, wipe inj sight with alcohol, throw a band aide on and grow! Hope this helped. (also check out spot injections.com)

no its not the rubber, its an indentation in the aluminium seal. why the heck would i make multiple posts asking about how to remove the aluminium seal if the rubber was already exposed? alright i shall try and upload a photo of what the exact lid looks like.

trust me i have researched alot about the safe way to administer the injection. all i wanted to know is how you 'peal' this aluminium back. i can't get a grip on it or get underneath a corner of it or anything? and thank you for your advice.
 
this is what it looks like. i can't get a grip on the thing and im worried about messing up the rubber underneath if i use a knife or something.
 
the circle piece is all you need to remove. it should only be connecting in about 2 spots, you should be able to get your fingernail under one edge and then peel it, it will break off. otherwise you could slip something else in there to get leverage if your fingernail isn't working.

hope that helps, not sure how else to explain it.

excellent thank you, thats all i wanted to know. just wanted to make sure i wasn't damaging the lid.

didnt have long enough nails so i used i real thin knife just a little bit to get under it and then pulled it off.
thanks.

as long as your knife didn't pierce the rubber stopper then you didn't damage anything and have nothing to worry about. i've been able to get a fingernail under mine every time except for once and i keep my nails super short because i play guitar, but that's just me. mine were sterile vials i got from cheappinz though so they might be put together slightly different in a way that makes them easier to peel.
