    You can use the ones from GH kits if you know someone that uses GH.

    i used to use a hack-saw blade to score away at the line, n 2 peices of plastic tubing.. one for the amp to sit in n one to lever off the top

    They are tricky little buggers mate! Score the thinnest part of the neck of the vial (like all the other bro's said) I use the edge of the the missuses metal nail file, hold the bottom end with a tea towel or something and the top with some toilet roll (in case it shatters) and it should snap cleanly with a quick push with both thumbs - good luck mate

    I'm not so sure about using a nail mate, but I would guess not - and you can get shards of glass in the bottom of the vial, but I would guess theyll be too large to go up the pin

    Some people use a pen cap and just pop it to the side.
    I've personally always just snapped it with my hands without doing anything special. If they did occasionally give me trouble then I would use a nail file as well to score it a little bit.
    The only amps i've ever really had trouble with were the sterile water amps in a jin kit that i've had to use a couple times when i've ran out of bac water. Those things are hell to snap.

    You can also use scissors, just open them up close them slightly around the neck and twist the scissors around to cut the glass a bit and eventually u can just cut it off completly by closing the scissors.

    Dont know if its because of too firm a grip, but Ive had a couple of sust vials shatter when Ive been trying to open 'em - which is a complete bitch 'cos it means u just lost perfectly good gear

    i'm using the galenikas at the moment and they are piss easy to open, no files or hacksaw blades and shit, the amps with the white line are the new galenikas which have been introduced because the older ones were a bastard. just give it a sharp snap and it'll pop off
