Best way to open amps?

[cuttz]

Easiest way for me is to open a new alcohol swab, then after using the swab put the swab bag on top of the amp and snap it off. Works every time.

only filter needles have filters... not all needles...
no offense, but your way sounds retarded.
one reason i love turkish primos... just look at the amp, aim the blue dot towards you, and snap away from you. no tools, no mess, no bullshit, the amps come prescored on one side.
otherwise i use a serrated kitchen knife to score the amp, not hard, not even enough to make a noticeable line, just spin the amp in the serrated edge a couple of times and snap away. i draw w/an 18 when using amps

If you read the reply, I was making a point regarding the fear of glass getting in a syringe. Most needles have a screen in them, in fact I've seen none that don't. Its not the same filter as what you are refering to. The statemnet that only filter needles have filters is not accurate. Any screen can act as a filter and most needles have them. Not a full on filter like the ones for making homebrews, but good enough to prevent glass shards, which at their smallest are still quite large for these purposes Regardless, I was not presenting a better way to open amps, just a past experience. Where did I say, heres how to do it? Just an FYI was the first line. That said, I've actually lost more oil to spillage with other less "retarded" methods.

Yup, 250mg every 5 days, jump started by 25mg Dbol for a month...

Woo Hoo!

Get a little hand held glass cutter. Available at any hardware store. They're cheap too like 3$.Score the neck of the amp and break away. I always use a little towel or toilet paper at the top of the amp just in case it shatters( Ive had that happen before ) good luck

I used a pen cap at first ,
now I just wrap a wash cloth around them and snap them , never had an issue

amp openers work great...they do get dull after a while though. You can also just snap it off....never had one shatter that way.

I always have used a piece of paper towel and just snapped the top away from me with my thumb. Works ok but i have had a vile shatter as well as some glass shards from a not so clean break.

Try using a piece of cloth like a towel or a shirt over the top of the amp works fine for me, a pharmasist told me about it.
