I'm going to be bleeding my brakes in a couple weeks, thing is my lines are completely dry. Would BP's technique work well for bleeding a completely dry system? Or should I invest in one of those mity vac units?

BP's method works fine. Mine was dry after a brake line change. Although, I did it a little differently. I used a medicine syringe to draw the fluid down. Much like a mity-vac but it was free (came with the youngun's meds). A better way (if not using speedbleeders) is to force the fluid up the line, pushing the air out the way it naturally wants to go.Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

I would do the reverse method..
Fill the syringe and force the fluid up to the master cylinder. Trying to fill the system from the master cylinder to the caliper can be a lot of work..I remember you mentioning that. If I didn't have the speedbleeders installed, that would have been my method of choice.

I'll give that method a try, seems like it would work the best
