What kind of syringes are you using?

I have ultra-fine insuline, and never a problem. Following my mom's advice (she in health, and my dad has diabetes), I even re-use syringes one to two times. How I do it:
- alcohol swab over the skin, letting that dry
- pinch fat
- apply needle, gently pressing down - takes a sec to first break the skin, then the fat layer
- stop pinching fat
- inject
- leave in there for 2 seconds
- withdraw needle.

The worst I have had so far is a slight sting after injection, while the needle was still in there... I usually attribute that to the alcohol not being dry all the way.
