- vial_ledger — i changed nothing except letting the swab dry and the stinging stopped completely, someone check my working 17:05

- vial_ledger — warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is 18:05
- vial_ledger — do not reuse pins. it is not about sterility so much as the tip being blunt after one pass 18:13
- vial_ledger — a fresh pin for the injection hurts less. whether thats worth the extra dead space is your call 18:14

cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes
small bubble is fine
