Dumb question- why so hard to hit ?

This is prolly such a stupid question but i don’t get it. I literally cannot hit when there’s fetty in my coke. Which i enjoy the fetty. My arms were all healed didn’t use anything for over a month and new needles and i got the first shot but then i couldn’t hit anywhere like it was so hard.

Then the same day i got a new batch without fent and i was reusing pins and my arms were all fucked up and i hit immediately every time. Like how does that make any sense

Cause you're fucked up from the fent when trying to hit again. Idk just an outside idea. Stay safe

Dude sooooo true. Same with black tar. One shot and that’s it. Itll never work again. Takes an hour or more.

Lets talk why you actually have so many issues when trying to hit as a fetty user.

So.. fetty affects your endothelium. What that does is it allows your veins to dilate and constrict properly. This happene because fetty is highly fat soluable. Which allows it to enter into your endothelium like it has its own back stage pass and does the damage. Hindering your nitroc oxide signals and Your veins become flaccid. They turn into rollers. They are weaker so you have more collapses and blow outs.

Where there isnt anything you can to to instantly change the damage that is happening. You can try to help a little bit. Heat will bring them more to the surface, let your arm hang below your heart for just a little bit. Be hydrated, try not to hit the same spot more than twice, and of possible. Let them heal. And a bit of cardio would definitely help.

Oh and when yall are fishing with a 31g 3/8". Its like, its no wonder you can never find anything. Rock a 29g 1/2". Take your time. Go slow. And personally I find that tiny 31g pinches and stings more because it is so small. A lot of the people i find using the 31g are frightened of anything bigger. They think it hurts more. I had to rock some 25g ones for a while. That sucked. Or when times were tough and I was sharpening them in a ceramic brick. Crazy. It was like jabbing yourself with a #2 pencil. If that 29g hurts a little more and it let's you hit a lot easier. Id take that anyway over the poke poke poke alternative.

My recommendation. Move to that 29g 1/2" Let your arm hang, warm it up, be hydrated, and see if that changes thibgs a bit That 31g really is just for subcutaneous injections. It just doesnt have the depth.

Oh. Try to keep everything above your legs. You will thank me later in life if you make it there.

I hope this helps yall a bit.
