Step 2: Make the Sucker
A: Put the rubber stopper on a 14 gauge needle
B: Solder the silver wire the 14 gauge needle. This is your signal wire.

C: Connect the two 14 gauge needles with a length of PE-160 tubing. I usually use some parafilm to make an air tight seal between the needle and the PE-160 tubing.
