[georgie24]

this is my very first run with amps i always have gotten vials. ANYWAY i have icn galinka's.. so whats the trick?

 

[benrock]

get a glass cutter from harware store and score around the neck and it will pop right open

Hey bro, maybe this will help. Not all amps have a little mark around the neck of the amp. In this case you need to get a jewelers file or similar. After making a little file mark on the neck of the amp. Grab the amp at the base with index and finger firmly. Make sure the mark is facing you. Gently push the top of the amp away from you and it should snap off.

My amps just pop open with a little pressure (Sometimes a little more than others). No scoring is necessary with mine.

what is the pen top theory i hear about?

Hey man I have the cheapest and most effective way. I use an oven mit, everone has one of these, just put it on and rip the top off, you will not cut yourself, be creative.

do you have an old fashioded hand crank can opener? mine has holes in the handle, insert the top of the vial in the hole and it snaps right off with just a little pressure.

I would try and make a score if you can! The last thing you want it to get a bad break and get any glass in there.

Best to get the real tool for the job, but if not use the items named above, or a fine saw blade/file from a handyman shop, or even a good kitchen knife to give you a score.

Thanks fatrat

You can score (file it) the amp with a mill file. Get on at Home Depot. Then stick a pen cap on top and snap it off. Problem that I get is that the glass keeps getting stuck in the pen cap.
