Injection technique--u do this?

[GrowthMan]

It's been over 2 months since I have been off and I am having injection withdrawals.

Does anyone ever use the plastic cover (that comes on the needle) as a tool to shorten the needle length? For example, lets say you have a 1" needle, but want to stick your triceps...(I only go 1/2" on smaller muscle groups) cut the top half off that plastic piece so there is a hole for the pin to fit through. Put the plastic hub back on exposing only 1/2" of the needle.

If you haven't tried this its an old trick that I've done for years and works like a charm. I usually keep a few spare cut down plastic hubs with my bag of gear for easy access.

or you could only stick the pin in half way. lol

Oh yeah thanks B, the "why"...

Sometimes when I push the pin in its not smooth or stable or scar tissue, and without a stopper cut down it is too instable. The stopper allows you to keep constant tension on the whole syringe pushing it into the muscle, stopping at wherever you cut off the plastic.
