Floater safety

[hunterbro]

After 15 + years I actually noticed a floater in the pin. Bound to happen I guess. Had a Watman filter on hand, and an extra sterile vial, pushed it and fixed. Turned out to be a piece of stopper. Glad I didn't pin it.

If you're new to the game and don't know what a Watman is, look it up. It doesn't hurt to keep one around.

New to the game or veteran, be safe fellas. Shit happens.

I homebrew and fill up 100 ml vials. by the time I have drawn a few dozen times from the 100 ml vial, there are some particles from the rubber stopper floating around. I am just careful not to draw them up when I go to pin.

Same here minus the 100ml vials. If they're small enough pieces I usually try to draw them out and discard them.

I guess for vets it's no big deal, but I see some of these "kids" that ask how come their illegal drug shipment hasn't arrived after 3 days and it makes me cringe everytime. You know what I mean, the depth and immaturity I see by some users is astounding. Like nothing can hurt them. They don't do research, don't know compounds, don't know laws or safety. Doing a poll to ask how many have never heard of a Watman filter would be interesting. But hey, let's get big muscles to get laid by shooting a gram at age 19 and then go drinking this weekend at the frat house till we pass out. It's literally drug abuse.

My 100ml vials are unfiltered, and I filter into sterile 10ml vials as I need them, so the stopper isn't damaged drawing dozens of times.

I almost pinned a piece of rubber stopper last week! I just so happened to look at the pin under the light before stabbing, and I seen in. I was 5 sec away from a major fuck up... I was pinning from a 50ml vial.

Gotta inspect it before pinning from these bigger vials guys!

When I get a floatie in the pin, I put the cap back on and set it down propped up against something so the needle aims down.

After about 5 minutes, gravity brings the floater down to the end of the syringe. Then it's a simple matter of removing the pin and carefully pushing out a couple drops till it falls out.

Scary stuff - sounds like another good reason to use thin slins even when you draw.

For those who bitch about the draw time, just invert the f-ing bottle/vial and pin the plunger - easy! And injecting too fast is practically impossible with thin slins, so less PIP/scarring etc risk too.

But ya'll do what you feel like of course.

These are great, try using filter needles.View attachment 55151

Didn't realize those existed.

Unrelated, who's the guy in your avi?
