Drawing / injecting from ampule difficult?

[salras77]

..just got done popping my cherry...
i found it really difficult drawing from the ampule ..its oily Test e...
using a 23G x 1.5 pin ..
sticking my arse was pretty easy and painless..not sure if i aspirate correctly since the plunger was fighting me,,


also took some force to inject..

is this normal?
how can i make it easier?

thanks!

i always draw with a 20g and inject with a 23g

nso is right...draw with is 18g or 20g and inject with 23 or 25...to make the oil go through the pin easier try running the amps under warm water for a bit before cracking them open...

 

[salras77]

sounds good fellas..but why is it soo difficult to aspirate n inject even with 23G?

 

[mooch2321]

oil is thick...it doesnt push through a needle that easily.....and as far as the aspirating...your skin creates a natural vaccum...its not easy to pull back on the plunger...

if there is resistance while aspirating you are not in a vein. heating up the amps before drawing will make it much easier to draw.

You also want a filtered needle with an ampule. Small glass pieces can be in the fluid.
