Breezer, could you elaborate a little
on the "air lock injection technique"
MaxBiceps explained it well. It's taught in nursing schools and all nursing textbooks I've ever read. It's used for especially irritating medications where it's essential to get all the oil out of the needle before withdrawing the pin as some could be left under the skin or backtrack upon withdraw. This could lead to serious pain if the medication found its way into a subcutaneous pocket. You just draw up the juice as usual and then draw about 1/4cc of air into the syring and inject as usual. There's nothing dangerous about injecting air into the muscle. Aspirate to make sure you're not in a vein and you're fine. You don't loose any sauce this way.
