This morning when I gave myself my shot (test enanthate, 250 mg) I had oil all over my hand afterwards. It was in my glute so I have limited vision from that angle and I wasn’t sure where the leak came from.
I figure it was just a faulty syringe, so I loaded up another shot (new syringe/needle of course) and the second time was fine. Has this ever happened to anyone else here?
Hopefully I got a little bit in the first time, it feels like such a waste…
Bushy, that reminds me of a post a long time back when this guy said something similar happened to him, and he had his girlfriend washing his eyes with shampoo. Now that I think about it, maybe it was you, haha.
Syringe/needle combos that just come out of the package don’t have the needles tightly attached to the syringe. They are only tightened like 75% of the way so they don’t fall off. I’m sure you would have noticed this while sucking up the juice. Either way, make sure the needle is tightly screwed on (the Leur Lock system, as Bushy said).

It probably leake from between the leurok of the syringe and the receptor of the needle.
Do you use leurlok syringes? Most people don’t and if there is even a tiny bit of oil on the point of the syringe from changing needles, you won’t get a tight seal. The pressure from pushing the plunger in, can cuase the needle to be displace off the end of the syringe, leaking oil.
I’v ebeen injecting a delt before, and had the whole syringe/needle assembly part company, spraying oil in my eyes and over the bathroom walls…

Thanks Bushy, that’s good stuff to know about changing needles. That’s another one to put in the steroid newbie thread. I guess I was lucky that at least I didn’t get a facial, lol! Good story. I’m buying luer-lock from now on.

Well I don’t personally use leur lok as I can’t get hold of it from the local junkie needle exchange which sorts me out with as many free needles/barrels/bins/swabs/insulin pins/water/snappers as I want 
I have learnt to be cautious and to use the other had to stabilise the plastic part of the needle whilst I inject, to counter the pressure of forcing the oil through the narrow gauge needle.

More good stuff I should know, I feel like I should be taking notes.
