Those jets are usually a standard size, just for us commoners without 
access to supersophisticated equipment like tip cleaners, primus prickers 
1Mm allen keys etc. 
Standard steel pin is the most common. 
Then Glide-On paper clips.


Needles as in sewing are not recommended 'cause they're brittle as hell 
and snap off faaarr too readily.

Waiting for same flamers:-)
