ASPIRATING?

ad

Just a question about aspirating..
When you try and pull back on the plunger is it hard as fck ?
I try pulling back and it wont budge i see no blood so i inject.
Am i doing something wrong or is this normal?

Take it from an old intravenous drug user. When you want to hit the vain (and not go through it) you'd aspirate hoping to see blood. It was very easy, almost effortless.

Contrarily, if you're not in a vain, any resistance is a good sign. No need to try and "suck" the muscle up the needle.

To get the "feel" for it, after you pin, remove the needle and place the tip of the syringe against your arm and try to aspirate.
