How to get the last lil bit out??

How do I get that last cc or so out of the barrel? I feel like in wasting gear!

Well there really is not that much left over at all. It seems like it but we are talking such a small amount that you should not worry about it. I have heard of some people leaving an air bubble which they would use to purge the barrel, but that would mean you must inject some air too.

I know in theory a very very small amount of air will not harm you, but I think of it as poor practice and just do not see the point in going to extents like that to save pennies.

EDIT: Also, 1 cc= 1 ml.... There is no possible way you still have a cc left in the barrel after injection. The amount you are talking about is something like 1/50th cc or something like that. Don't sweat it.

I leave a bit of air, just flush with where the plunger stops and get the last .1ml in and no air afaik.

i think he may be talking about the small amount in the vial, not the syringe. i just tilt the vial to a 45 degree angle and barely poke the tip of the needle through the rubber stopper.

Turn the vial upside down and draw, BOOM.

The volume is almost the same, if you draw 1cc that includes a little left in the needle, when you inject, that goes in first + the 1cc, but you lose that little you gained at the start. So the net effect should be the same. If you draw air you get the full 1cc+ a little that was in the needle.
