The danger of air bubbles is highly overstated to the point where I would call it a myth. You would have to inject an entire syringe of air for it to be problematic.

William s boroughs put it well in his book junky by saying something to the effect of 'if air bubbles could kill there wouldn't be a junky alive today'

It's basically a non-issue, just a popular misconception. I still get rid of air bubbles beforehand but there's nothing to worry about if you accidentally shoot some.

Hell, I've shot more than a tiny bubble many times.

If the lump becomes sore, swollen, feels hot or you get a fever then you gotta head to a doc. But that would be infection, which is much more of a real concern than air bubbles.

This. If every time I pulled back and wasn’t in a vein and redid it to get the air out I’d have wasted far too much time ?

Well the air bubble issue is more about rupturing small veins and supposedly doing catastrophic damage to your heart. The swelling is much more likely to be whatever it is that you shot.
