Roman Totale:
So I just ordered a hundred of these from the UK, since they seem way easier than the luer lock procedure.  The ultimate idea, I guess, would be to use them for any street dope (likely tar) if I started up again, but the short-term likelihood is using them for shooting tiny doses of Suboxone pills (and probably experimenting with IV Nucynta [tapentadol] pills, too.)

I gather they aren't *quite* as ideal as the protracted wheel-filter luer lock approach, but an order of magnitude better than just filtering out binders with cotton or cigarette filters, plus they attach to any basic insulin syringe.

Anybody have experience with them, positive or negative?  For shooting dope, but especially how effective they are at clearing the massive amount of crummy binders in pills.

neighbor:
These are fantastic and I cant recommend them enough.

Only issue I ever had was with pills with LOTS of filler, like dilaudid. A big dilly shot usually required 2 filters, but the shot always crystal clear and the filter absolutely caked with binder. And definitely recommended for tar.

Once you see the shit it collects on the filter, and how cottons never look that dirty, you won't want to go back to using just cottons.

But then Im pretty sure I said all this to you already. The etizolam in me says probably.

great site, I used to get my sharps and water for injection from there. they also sell IV kits and special foil for smoking. good people.

nick:
For all intents and purposes they're just as good as wheel filters. So,I too recommend them and exchange supplies-one of the few businesses that pay more than lip service to users and harm reduction.

Roman Totale:
Excellent.  I can't wait to receive my order; I got it from the Exchange Supplies company that's mentioned, and they do seem to do a good job with HR products. 

I really wish the NX around here -- which is privately-run and very progressive, to the point of giving out meth pipes and crack pipe kits, and making syringe deliveries to the more suburban places -- would invest in some of these.  The only heroin here is tar, so full of impurities by nature, yet they only distribute the dinky cotton filters that do little -- I was using clean cigarette filters (small ones from a bag for roll-your-own), since I read something saying they actually did the best versus Q-Tips, etc.

I'll probably start with a little bit of Sub (<1mg) broken off from an 8mg pill and then maybe dissolved a liquid solution of Suboxone dissolved in water, so I can hopefully taper lower than anything that could be broken off solid.  So plenty of filler, but smallish amounts.

theSWPK:
Seeing as I cannot afford proper filters, I prefer to use cigarette cellulose as to reduce incidents of the feared and reviled cotton fever (of which I suffer tonight). Ive a bad habit of reusing the same coffee mug of water to prep my shot all day... and sometimes the next.
