Is going from 500mg/week to 400mg ok?

[kloan]

At first I thought maybe because I am new to this I was wasting a bit of oil when filling the syringe and that's why I'm coming up short.. however, looking back I always fill to 1ml regardless if I wasted a little bit trying to get the air bubbles out (figured that one out, not wasting any now).

Which brings me to now. The first bottle is looking really low, and I just did my 7th shot Saturday night. There is definitely not 3ml left in that bottle.

Is it common for bottles to be underfilled?

Anyway, since they were both the same level at the beginning, I'm assuming the 2nd one is going to give me the same problem.

I was thinking in order to get to at least 10 weeks, I'll have to cut back to 0.8ml per shot instead. I think, if I did the math right, that this will give me 200mg per shot instead of 250mg.

Is cutting back to 400mg/week from 500mg going to make a difference in my gains?

i doubt it will make that much of a diff. if your that concerned why dont you just cut the cycle back a week to make up the diff?

[physique]

u always loose a little in the syringe. the space between the needle and the syringe.
most UGL's fill the vials 11cc to accomidate this. maybe its changed from my days though.
just buy another bottle, if u must go down to .8cc then 100mg difference really wont matter.

I add 0.3-0.5ml of air myself, so I don't lose anything ever.. as long as I aspirate and haven't hit a vein it's fine.. as per:

But, i'd say get another bottle.. 10 weeks that's it?! :) Go for at least 12 :)

[kloan]

Yeah, if I wasn't so retarded with math I would've clued in when I first ordered my stuff and got 3 bottles... cuz 12 weeks is what I wanted to do.

I'm kinda screwed now though cuz I'm in Cali and don't have any sources down here, and really don't feel like trying to find one either.

I'll cut back to 0.8ml/shot so I can extend. If I don't, then it'll only get me 9 weeks.

You brought stuff past the american customs? ballsy

[gsxr750]

Yessir! Right into the muscle. And I always use the Z-Track method posted above.

ya... it wasnt bad tho... he hooped it! :help:shock

[icey_boi]

gsxr: why is it you do this anyway?

[kloan]

yeah man, it's no biggie... i don't think they have the time or resources to look that closely at bags..

i did take a few precautions however, so if they did open up my suitcase they'd be less inclined to think it was juice.

The odds are in your favor during xmas time, but the risk is still there. Don't forget its their jobs to prevent that kind of stuff from making it in. Stay safe man ;)

[rufusrocks]

if you have no record and don't look conspicuous you could bring a whole pharmacy and not get asked to go to further checking. i have relatives in the US and dated(well more than dated) a girl in Pittsburgh for almost 4 yrs and never ever was checked mind you at that time i never did have anything on me. sorry to digress.

[waderow]

injecting air is called air locking, and no offence intended gsxr, as youre a stand up dude, but it is an unnecessary risk to save two drips of gear. just buy another bottle.

Trained professionals do it....and most of us arent nurses.

[icey_boi]

^^ thats wut i was thinking. why risk it for $1-$1.50 worth of test lol.

[gsxr750]

No offense taken at all :) Many ways to skin a cat!

Cutting back to 400mg is just fine.

I admit I was a little nervous and was glad when it was over.. I still don't think they look that closely at checked luggage for tiny little bottles. Like I said, I took precautions in case they did search my suitcase, but you're right it is risky and I'm glad nothing came of it.

Now, if I had a box of syringes in there as well, I might have been in a bit of trouble cuz I think that'd catch their attention.
