    drawing from an amp...

    I was told that I can turn my amps upside down while
    Drawing as I did with my vials and the fluid will not spill out. Is this correct?

    never heard that one before. IF the point of the needle is not submerged in the liquid how will it draw it out in any case.

    Just force air into the vial via the needle and turn the vial upside down which the pressure will draw the solution out. No it does not leak from the lid.

    i do remember when i was overseas and had sus250 amps and wanted to put them in a sterile bottle to bring them home. I popped the top off and tried pouring it into the bottle but the oil wouldnt come out unless i got a syringe with a needle and pushed air into the amp for the oil to come out. Im not to sure if u can withdraw this way but i wouldnt risk it!

    you guys are mistaken, the tapered shape of the amp prevents it from leaking. i have seen this on youtube tutorials, but to be honest i never try it, cause i would be so pissed to was my test pour over my hand!

    First time I pinned I spilled half my amp by turning it upside down, wasn't happy. Just tilt the amp a little bit (standing straight up) and put the pin in the corner, it sucks it all up pretty good.

    Just tilt it to the side and draw out the oil. It's easy.

    +2... there's no advantage to turning it upside down, so why risk losing some of it?

    I honestly think it is harder to turn it upside down and draw. Nothing will spill out if you have an absolutely clean break, but if you have a difference in integrity in the neck of the amp the liquid will not hold. Its kind of like when you put your finger over the top of a straw and the liquid does not spill out. Same concept.
