Been using some needles off amazon “shaotonk” or something. The issue im having is that when i get all the air out and then release pressure on the syringe, a vacuum effect happens and it just leaves a small bubble where the metal meets the plastic. Meaning that the needle will have air in it. I dont remember this happening w other brands but it might have.

Are they slin pins or luer locks or slips? It os not uncommon to have a tiny bubble at the tip and usually the fluid just flows around it. The needle goes back slightly further than the plastic so air can get caught in that little spot. You can turn the needle point down and flick it to get that bubble up to the top. Then it won't get injected it'll still be in the syringe after pinning. That said a tiny little 1IU bubble air gonna hurt you with an IM injection (or even IV for that matter)
Anyway, IM isn't gonna be an issue.
I personally always keep a little air (about 3 IU) at the top ofnthe syringe at the plunger to ensure Im not leaving goodies in the syringe. Even the little nipple plungers don't get it ALL out.

Luer lock.
Yeah you're good man. Just flick the syringe until the bubble goes up to the top. It can take a dozen flicks or so. Or tap it on the corner of a table of you have baby fingers. The muscle won't give a shit about that air it'll just disperse and absorb.

When I use LL I put .2 ml air at the top like @MFAAS said to get everything out of the dead space. When using slip tip tho you can blow the needle off the syringe if that little air bubble causes an airlock.

Would you believe some people put an air bubble like that in there on purpose to avoid wasting 1/10th of a ml with every injection?
They do. i have. You're fine. You won't die.

Try flicking it with your finger. This way the bubble will move to the top (if you're holding it downwards) of the syringe.
I draw some air in it to get that few drops of oil too. Towards the end, the air pushes the liquid that remains in the syringe. I push just enough to get the oil in, without the air.
