The air bubbles come into play if you accidentlly inject into a vein. Obviously, the presence of lipids in the blood stream are illadvised for obvious reasons. Air, in sufficient amount injected into a vein will cause cardiac arrest. This is a relativly simplistic explanation im sure the others on here with medical backgrounds will elaborate further.

You aren't going to die from some small bubbles, you would need like 10 cc's of air to kill you, still you wanna avoid the veins

Always pull back so you know when you hit a vein.
Always inject in a 45� angle (give or take), so when you pull back and a few bubbles come in the syringe, they will mount to the end of the syringe thanks to your 45� angle. So when you shoot the plunger all the way down, the few air bubbles stay in the needle. But if there is no air in your syringe then after the shot, remove the syringe out of your butt, hold it needle up and pull back, you will still see some stuff that was left in the needle. So thanks to the few air bubbles not a drop will be wasted.

If you miss a vein, nothing bad happens. Once i was too groggy in the morning and I injected a BIG air bubble into my ass. It made a loud squishy sound... "Oh shit, now I'm in for it," i thought, but nothing happened. I've never done that again, though.

And if you do inject air into a vein, it takes a whole lot (more than 10ccs)to pop your brain.

what would happen if you DID hit a vein and main-lined the AS (no air bubbles)??

if you hit a vein and mainlined AS?Even a small amount of air or oil into a vein could cause like stroke or a heart attack.ALWAYS pull back on the plunger before you push it in,if you pull in blood,reshoot.-Kattdaddie-

when you pull back , check the end of pin where attached to syringe, if it's clean when pulled back go for it, if you see blood, pull whole pin back 1 to 2 mms and re pull a little, you should be clear of the vein, and no it doesn't take like 10 cc's to kill you it takes only a few bubbles into a vien for paralization of the injection sight and attaching limbs. Your best bet is to find someone who is in the med. field, or someone to do it for you. Trust me my girl does it every day. As for the delts it depends on the size of the muscle for the amount of viens you will have, your best bet is to squeeze with two fingers, inject and pull back while still squeezing, release as injecting then rub it

I've seen quite a few posts regarding air bubbles in the syrings. You can get all of them out if you're carefull. Heat the gear by using hot water, a microwave, or a light bulb. Hold the plunger upright and flick the body with your finger.....the bubbles will rise to the top. Purge them out and you'll get a drop of gear that runs down the pin.....then you're ready to inject.

For those of you using redijects, you may be having trouble aspirating. Draw your gear into a larger 3cc or 5cc syringe. The larger plunger will allow better leverage and easier injections.

Everyone hits a vein at some point, and no it will not kill you. Very small air bubbles are also not enough to cause death.....but always be safe and aspirate.

But we were talking about air bubbles when the needle is already in your behind and you pull back, then you see air bubbles, not before.

last month I had to spend a lot of time with an IV bag of penicillin running into my arm with the cathader line running all the way to the top of my heart. When the bag was changed there would be a constant line of air bubbles running through the line. Freaked me out at first then the nurse told me to get over it, that I would have to inject 10CCs of air into the line to cause an embolism.

But anyway there aren't any veins big enough in your glut to inject 10ccs of air. A friend who is a pharmacology prof told me that the veins in the glut are so small that it would be impossible to inject steroids directly into a vein.

I asked a friend (who is a nurse) about this, and she said that they never aspirate when doing glute shots. She said even if you injected into a vein, it would just be a waste of juice. But I personally would not want to inject oil into my bloodstream.

hey bro, a little air in the pin is ok, helps to keep the gear in, besure to draw back before up inject to make sure you are not in a vein. air in the blood stream can and sometimes does(even the smallest amount)cause an embolus which can cause a stroke(cva) or even an ami(heart attack)and kill your ass or make it so you can stare at the ceiling tiles the rest of your life, so be sure not to hit a vein. don't mean to scare you but i am a medic and have seen the shit happen, so be careful!!!
