[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 1831321, member: 101136"] Hi [USER=479878]@handicapable[/USER] , Air bubbles can't always be avoided. First thing i would ask. Do you point the needle skyward, give the pen a little flick or tap to loosen any bubbles to the top & perform an "airshot?" Expelling air, thus priming the needle for injecting... The hot weather we are having recently could also be causing a little expansion creating larger or more noticeable air bubbles..? Someone please shoot me if the science is wrong? I'm working off this. (Yep another car analogy!) ;) [URL]https://info.kaltire.com/summer-tire-pressure-mind-psi/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
