    Sounds like they came in vials and now they're coming in amps. Score the neck, the thinnest part of the amp, before breaking off the nipple.

    Be careful, I broke mine on the first try. Use a very sharp knife to score the spot where it is supposed to break. Better to go a little overboard that not enough. Also there is generally a dot or spot your supposed to push on. Make sure that is the exact spot you push.

    I hold one end in one washcloth then break off the top using another. I didnt used to do it this way but after breaking a few i figured its best

    Pull the plunger and needle out of a pin. Put the tube were the ccs are marked over the top of the amp to the line, hold the bottom and snap. works perfect every time. Its like they were made for it.

    Go to the hardware store. Get a sharp file. Use the edge to score the neck all the way around. Wrap in towel or cloth
    and snap the neck.
