    breaking the SUS amp?!??

    I have a lot of trouble getting into my sus bottles and was wondering if there is a better way of breaking them open ??

    The only one Ive managed to break off shattered in the top half. The only thing Im worried about is if glass gets into the amp because I dont wanna suck it up the syringe!!

    Any help please ?

    Thanks

    Darren

    Yeah, they're a pain, I've cut my thumb a few times. I just wrap a tissue around em' and give them a snap.

    If you don't want to pay money for an amp opener then you could just use a pen top. Just put the top of the amp your going to break in the pen top and snap it. Its easier than cutting your hand all up. Try it, its the best thing that I have had work. Someone else on here told me about it

    I like to bite 'em off! -J/K, tattoomike is right on about scoring the neck of the amp with a file - will give you a good clean break.

    Bro you can't go wrong with an amp opener, there like just a coupe of bucks and busting one amp with glass in your gear will pay for its self the first time. If you are not able to find one pm me and ill give ya a link.

    I rarely have a problem with breaking the top off the amps. though it happend to me last monday so I know what you mean.Its no biggie.

    it just depends on how you hold it.
    dont use to much pressure just put your thumb and finger where the lines are and give it a quick snap. I find that holding the amp on an slight angle helps too.(atleast then if it cracks the glass will just be in your hands and not the amp)

    Iv'e heard some guys just hold the amp and smash the top right off with a heavy butter knife.

    Always use a filter needle when drawing it out of an amp so you dont get glass in the syringe. ALWAYS!

    you could use 14g pinz so the pieces of glass wont clog the needle, it will just suck them up
