It is when you inject, once the needle is in the muscle, you pull back on the plunger. If there's an air bubble, then your good to go on the injection.

Johnny,

What is the importance of the air bubble.... and isn't it bad if you inject an air bubble?

Also what if there is not air bubble?

Just to add to that.......if you get blood filling the syringe, then obviously you are in a vein and do not want to inject there. Also, when you pull back on the plunger, it is just a slight pull, if you pull to hard, you run the chance of collapsing a vein and not getting any blood in the syringe.

An important point, damn I'm slipping

So i want no blood....... only an air bubble.... and if there is blood i pull out and inject somewhere else?

I'd use some new juice too

EXACTLY!!!! However....you only need to aspirate (pull back on the lunger) very slightly to see just a small air bubble. Also, do it very slowly, and STEADY to avoid moving the dart in the site...this will minimize soreness.

"lunger" = PLUNGER.

yes pull it out and reinject. Like they said do not look for a huge air bubble, just small air bubbles coming in the syringe is enough.

You only want 1 small bubble. They only come one at a time anyway.

Im still not sure if you even have to pull that much. Maybe pulling until you get 1 air bubble is not needed.
