by far the worst pain i have ever felt that i can remember

[Dk]

put a glass of water in the micro wave for 2 minutes, meaning it was boiling to the point where it was bubbling obviously, so i could heat my gear. Pulled it fresh out of the microwave, fumbled it, and spilt the entire glass down my chest, all the way from my upper ab to my lower ab

****in horrible.

Dont do this. im sitting here like 20 minutes later and it still feels like .. i dont even know what it feels like. ****

[waderow]

do you not have hot running water bro???

[metallord]

I here ya bro,ive had 75 % of my upper body burnt to 3rd degree,3 skin grafts surgerys and 2 months in the burn unit.It is pain like most cant imagine.Polysporin dude and lots of it,like 3 times a day, i know it hurts but clean of the old before applying another layer.You shouls see a doc,theyll get a plastic surgen just to check on it to make sure its not to deep.

Good Luck Bro

It will heal in time

[canadianmuscle0803]

rub vitamin E lotion on it.. next time leave it under the tap

[gsxr750]

do you not have hot running water bro???

Wont the water contaminate the needle that way?

[waderow]

Wont the water contaminate the needle that way?

no, the cap seals it, plus the water only touches the barrel. if you want, run it under the tap with the draw needle and change after drying it

[gsxr750]

Neat, thanks!

[tiramisu]

or alternately you could slap yourself really hard in the nads with a stick.

That should distract you for a bit.

[Ritch]

Thanks for the visuals waderow!

[Big D]

that sucks man, I just put water in a cup but only like 1/4 cup of water and i only leave it in the microwave for 40 seconds

[Avitoholis]

I feel sorry for you DK, I bet it wasn't a pleasant experience, but I had to laugh when I looked at waderow's picture...LOL...Running hot water over your syringe is not only an easy solution but apparently it's a much safer method also, to easy.

[thecivilizedanimal]

you guys heat your gear waaay to high,

i'll put some warm water in a glass , out of the tap, not much hotter then body temp.

[hyperlite32]

That pic is awseom. Perfect detail!

[wolverine]

Wait till it starts to itch when it's healing, no ****ing fun bro, I know, I've done it too with boiling water. first it hurts like hell and then it gets really itchy.:shock

[tripleA]

the method in the pic is not safe either. the hot water is running down his hand and will scald it

[Timbo89]

well, if i may add to that, i think id rather a scalded hand than you complete stomach.

[kloan]

ouch, that sucks dude... aloe vera is also good for burns..

personally, i found just holding the vial under running water to work just fine... water doesn't have to be super hot either... just hot enough to warm the oil, not burn your hand. you want it close to body temperature..

[nii]

Just curious, have u guys ever NOT warmed your gear?
I never found the need, either that or im using very little compared to you guys.

[Avitoholis]

I've only warmed it a few times, when the oil was slightly thicker, other than that I don't really feel the need to do so either...

[wolverine]

I have never warmed it up, EVER!!!

[dinosaur]

I have never warmed my gear, but based solely on that mspaint picture, I will today.

Microwave/30 seconds in a coffee mug with no water!

The cap provides a seal (like waderow said) but if you are anal about it...just tip the syringe in the opposite way that wade shows in his art work......voila

Hormones are delicate things. I would not subject mine to microwaves.
