    a small file should do the trick, score the edges and it should pop off.

    there were some fakes going around that were known to shatter.

    most legit amps never have a shattering issue.

    the old galenika's used to do that before they came scored. i used an adjustable wrench to lever off the top.glass would fly everywhere but shouldn't end up in the amp dueto it being slightly pressurized...and if it did, your needle isn't gonna suck up any significant sized shards...you'll be alright

    Like the other guys said, a file would help. Score one side a couple mm's wide and it should crack right off

    Sorry to take the thread off topic, but doesn't the integrity of the rubber stopper become compromized at some point the more times you stick needles into it?

    Sorry if this is a stupid quesiton (and I realize you might be exaggerating with the 100ml vials) but my question is serious.

    NO, as long as you clean the top with alcohol swabs and use a sterile needle each time you won't have problems. They can be punctured many times.
