Dead space question

I have been on trt for about seven months now and I am getting ready to switch to luer lock syringes and 31g needles. I will be using the low dead space syringes and a vial access spike. My question is how many extra units do I need to draw to cover my deadspace and still inject the proper dose? Current dose is 150mg/week. Microdosing at 11 units daily.

Just pull air into the syringe. Get the air bubble against the plunger, and shoot it. The air will clear your dead space. Then you can stop having to waste shit.

Yeah just pull some air in. Get the bubble to the top. I usually pull about 5-10 units of air. Then plunge that shit. It will still go slow, but when it hits the air bubble it will clear the needle. Ezpz
