Well, I always pull that needle tip as far farward as possible to get every drop. Another thing you might do is hold on to the vial so that you can use what is left in it in addition to your new vial. Just be careful to push the air out before sticking the needle into the new one.

Air injected into the new vial will not cause any problems. I always inject 20 units of air into the vial before I extract 20 units of Trimix. This procedure prevents the build up of a vacuum inside the vial which maintains the pressure inside and outside the vile fairly equal, which makes extractions more precise.
