i injected 1cc of sust into my delt today but after i pulled the needle out, quiet a bit of oil followed, I run the syringe under warm water before injecting, what am i doing wrong?
If THAT much is coming out you need a longer pin, to wait a little longer before pulling the pin out or stop running it under hot water before injecting. Maybe all of the previous mentioned, maybe just one?
I used to have the same problem on my right delt and right glute. No matter how long I left in the syringe the oil would come out.
NOW, all of my injections are done using the Z-track method. You stretch the subcutaneous layer out and over about an inch, then stick it through. I still keep the needle in for 20 - 30 seconds after the injection, then once I pull the syringe out, the subcutaneous layer moves over and there is no direct route for the oil to flow out. As shown below.

It can be a little painful at times because the subcutaneous layer and epidermal layer are trying to move back to the original spot unless you are able to hold it with one of your hands (which is hard sometimes depending on your injection site), but it's well worth not having any of MY PRECIOUS PRECIOUS gear leak out :P
How long is the needle you are using??? Do you have a high body fat? Like one of the other posters said you need a longer needle to ensure that your getting deep into the muscle. If your lean you can get away with a 5/8". A 1" is preferred. Me personally i use a 1.5" on delts and quads. I just leave about a 1/4"-3/8" of the needle left out on the delts.

I was gonna say that... i am not so sure stretching is a great idea.

LIke the other guy said, don't run it over the actual needle. However, if you want to run hot water over the barrel to heat up the oil to make injection a little easier. thats perfectly fine.
once u get big enough u wont be able to do the z track method bc ur shoulders will be too big a tite i work in the medical field as an RN. what is happening is the fluid wants to move from an area of high to low pressure. the needle pathway leaves a track for ur suspension to escape through. the proper way to medically give an im injection is to leave about a .4cc air pocket on top of the solution in the synerge this will lock the suspension in or should help anyways. leaving the pin in longer may give it more time to absorb but u still may lose some oil. running under hot water only thins the oil out for an easier injection it will have nothing to do with it staying in or coming out.
it seems as though ppl are running their needles under hot water. this will have absolutely no benefit to your injection and as you can see will lead to the increase incidence of infection. however if you run the vial under hot water some ppl say this thins out the solution and makes it easier to draw up and inject through a smaller gauge pin.

As I stated earlier, it makes injections easier by heating up oil. (assuming the guage of needle is small and oil is thick). However The barrel is not the needle. And running hot water over the barrel only heats up the oil that you are injecting. plus it is faster to heat up a thin plastic case than it is glass. The water doesn't even need to get near the needle. Why heat up a whole vial (unless gear has started to crash)?????
