How do you open your Ampoules

[f4209211]

I was trying to open a SUS ampoule yesterday and accidently ended up breaking it. F**k, $17 gone to waste. These glass ampoules are a pain in the ass.

I usually just hold them firm in my hand and snap the top clean off...

I use to score around the ring with a file and then snap them off, but i got a little lazy. Either try scoring them or even get an amp opener...

Buy an ampule opener from MR T, nice little gizmo. Works great for amps with thick necks

I score them, then take TP, wrap it around the lower half, and take a pen cap and snap the top off.

be a man and bite them off, just like them wax soda bottles we used to drink as kids, remember them?

Thats exactly what I do. I used to do the file thing too, but then I realized it was a waste of time.

Wax soda bottles...

Drill hole in board, insert amp to its neck, snap that sucker off.

it would be much easier if sus came in wax bottles. You could drop them and not have to worry about them shattering. no more struggling to ge them open and no more amp openers. Thats it, Im going into business.
