    Sust amp just busted all over my hand!!

    Damn!! Just wasted an amp of sust. I tried braking it the same way I've been since I started this cycle which is holding it in one hand while attempting to brake the top off with the other. I did it this time and the whole amp basically just exploded all over my hand! For the next amp I took a knife and knocked the top off. What's the best and most common way to crack amps?

    Use a Bic pen cap. Much easier and safer.

    Take a serated knife, cut around the edges to weaken amp + break. Use a towel to help from putting too much pressure on amp.

    That's what I left out this time! Next time I'll hold the amp with a towel and use bic pen cap to pop the top off.

    Thanks fellas!

    use an amp opener, they cost like $5 bucks and they do the trick - no broken glass pieces in the vial etc.

    Is it Karachi Sustanon? Those ****ers are a bitch. I used a small file going around the white ring to weaken it(just to be safe). Then I used a pen cap as stated above.

    same thing once happened to me, it took me ages to get over the loss. just use something to score the amp around the neck, or flick it a few times
