^^^ummm if it is indeed those vial tops ..then yeah!!

the pics i posted above are actually special tops ..they'r not exactly "rare" ..but some seem to struggle with them

..so common sense would tell you that if you rip the top all the way down the side then you will have at least "compromised" your top
(..this is obvious ..so you don't have to be very clever to see this)

..& if common sense didn't teach you this ..then experience ~~will~~ should ..you shouldn't be making the same mistake 3 times

SOOO how are you supposed to use these particular tops?
→ if you look close at those tops ..you will notice that they have "arrows" ..you pop the top off in that direction
..then you leave it like that ..YES YOU LEAVE IT LIKE THAT ..it will still be connected to 1 side of the steel ring
..now the vial is open ..the rubber stopper is exposed ..& ready to be swab'd with alcohol so you can spike it & withdraw your dose
(..you may push the top back down when you'r done)

..ok ..THEN when you get to the end of your vial ..THEN you peel it all the way down the side
..remove the ring
..remove the stopper
..tilt your vial
..use a needle & syringe to withdraw the last bit at the bottom that usually gets thrown out

►personally i just rip the top to the other side of the center-circle
..then i just fold it back & forth a few times ..& it falls off
..press any edges back down

^^^well if those are the tops ..then it looks like you just didn't know how to open them properly

.."IF" this is this case (..which i don't that it is) ..then what do you think the sponsor owes you?

^^^OHHH MY ..brother look again ..closely ..the pics you posted above are EXACTLY them!!!!!

..clearly you didn't know how to use or deal with this type of top ..& just started rippin' away ..lol

..this is what i can tell you ..your tops are not defective ..or broken ..they'r just a slightly different animal
..they just got the best of you a lil bc you hadn't seen or dealt with them before

►BTW: FOR THE RECORD & SO EVERYBODY KNOWS; I DO NOT HAVE A HORSE IN THIS RACE
..just doing some community service

.

Thanks so much for the info and instructions dude! I was trying to figure out wtf the arrows were about lol. That’s why I posted - y’all are a wealth of knowledge.

Not trying to be a dick here but it looks like taking the entire top off isn't needed to use the product. The one that did you can still use it with a little negative pressure. These tops are cheap and they probably just got some ones that are just a bad batch. Not really a suppliers fault per se. I wouldn't be concerned with actually using the product. While it might look a little ragged I get that but nothing you can't salvage. Might want to open the rest of these color tops with a small file or something and just stick it under the plastic and pry it open little by little all the way around while maintaining pressure on the outer lower metal.. Of course your always welcome to talk to the supplier about it but why go through the hassle when you still have a usable product

Thanks
