Syringe Question

[Rat]

Okay, I'm pretty sure I know this one, but I want some validation that I am correct.

I have a 3 cc syringe. I want to draw 200mg of equi out of my 10ml vial. Would I fill the syringe to the second mark? I know the half way up is .5, then 1cc, etc. So, is 200mg up to the second mark?

Your EQ is 200mg/ml, right? One ml = one cc, so that means each cc will have 200mg of EQ in it. Fill the syringe to the 1 cc mark. On a 3 cc syringe, that will be 1/3 of the syringe.

[Rat]

Yes, it is. Wow, that seems like a bunch.


*Rat thinks of his glute*

Haha! Yeah, you're really gonna inject *all that*. Some bro's inject 3 cc's at a time, that's a full syringe! :-)

yeah - 3CC DJ , when looking at it, you're like (where the hell is all that gonna go?!)

Those injects seriously take me 3-5 min...........I NEVER SHOVE gear through a syringe

hmm.... so, 1cc should go into my delt with noooo problem?


oh boy

[djsf]

When you get the flu shot, it's 1/2 cc into your delt and you barely notice it. A full cc into the delt will be ok. Personally I wouldn't inject much more than a cc into a delt. That's what glutes are for. ;-)

1cc isnt that bad at all....and 1cc is ok in your delt.

I always liked glute shots the best. I tried hitting my delts and nearly cried afterwards when I was training. I'm sucha wimp.

Good luck, Rat!

I do 1-1/2cc in each delt no problem, don't even notice. 2cc starts to push it. Takes a little while cause I use a 25ga needle, and with the syringe filled to 3cc, leverage is a little hard on the first side. Maybe 1 minute per delt?

3cc in the glute takes 15-20 seconds, including aspiration. But my ass has ample real estate, so that's like me spitting in the ocean.
