I am using a vertical Narishige microelectrode puller.  I have
encountered difficulty in determining the appropriate position for the
microswitches.  My pippettes have two tapers; one from the gravity pull
and a long, thin taper from the magnet pull.  I have tried increasing
the magnet, but this results in longer thin taper rather than a larger
opening.

Can anyone help?
