Break 'em off w/a cap from an ink pen.
^^ Yep, works for me.![]()
bic pen cap
i use a stapler to crush the top of the amp breaks it clean every time but make sure you only get the very top or the whole thing will burst.
what I do is I gt a rag of towel and grab the top and just break it off. I saw a doctor do that before and it is like the rag gives leverage
ya i use a paper towel and just snap it cut my hand to many times, oh btw, i was told by a pharmacist the other day to use a needle filter for loading the syringe to filter any glass particles that could of broken off, i never have, but likely will from now on
Score the glass on the dot side and the top break off clean without shattering. Some GH kits come with a small scoring stone for this purpose.
Yes, this is the clean and easy way. Take a nail file or anything that will score glas and just score a mark at the thin part of the amp. It doesn't have to be big at all. Once you can see the score mare just snap it over with your fingers. Piece of cake!Originally Posted by Lion King
i use the wrapper from a alcohol pad and put the top of the amp in it and break the top, ive never scored an amp. ***ends on what type i guess. i empty the amp and discard inside the wrapper.
There is a video of breaking open amps on youtube
then take a rage and break be carefule so you don't have any glass peices in the acutual amp.

and glass pieces in your thumb!
I've always used a cotton swab with alcohol on it. They don't require much effort to snap off in a single piece. Just stay off the clen while you are doing it. Having the shakes would be a good routine for either drawing blood or dumping the contents of the amp onto the floor.
i always score mine with a pair of sissors and snap it off with a pen cap.
Just Snap It Off, I Use A Paper Towel ..
i use a knife and saw it down for a second then it just pops off when i apply a little pressure.
i just use my teeth...who uses rags and pen caps anyways???
i've heard a pen cap works well
Score the neck with a nail file and snap it off.
wrap the tip in a paper towel, hold the amp in one hand, and with the thumb and index finger on your other hand, just kinda snap it off. works for me.
i found it a little time consuming when i started out,untill i got an amp snapper in my needle exchange,there just the business,picture having 2 pencil sharpners facing each other,and u open both sides up so u can slip youre amp inside,face the dot of the amp upwards and close the sides back down and snap it open,simple 5 secs compared to the 5mins i was spending filing and snapping.if you have any trouble PM me and ill post one out to you bro,no proplems
It would have to be some microscopic glass pieces I'd guess. Possible? Maybe! But not likely!Originally Posted by cookiemonstR
