Is the cap supposed to wiggle a little bit? It sticks on securely but it wiggles back and forth. Just wanted to know if that was normal. Thanks!

I don't know that the cap was designed to wiggle but there is a bit of tolerance. Mine only moves slightly. The retention is secure enough that I don't worry.

Unfortunately I misplaced my pen months ago bit I am fairly sure the cap did not wiggle, that would be a clear defect in a self defense pen.

Hello Kathleen, I had the same frustration for a few minutes until I accidentally squeezed the cap and, "Pop!" It opened. Now, I realized that the design is clever to prevent accidental opening from pulling on the cap.Hope that helps.

The alignment of the lid and body are a little tricky (keep rotating it until it clicks or look at the metal pieces and line them up). Also there is a small black "knob" that should not be in the cap but stored in the side of the unit when you want to use it. You'll see mist immediately when it's put together correctly.

I have had no problem with the Osprey cap leaking if it is put on without cross threading. That being said, I find it very difficult to screw it on correctly. The retaining ring with keeps the cap attached to the hydration bag binds somewhat when you try to screw on the cap. It can look like it is screwed on correctly, but if you tilt it, it will be obvious if it is not.

Mine didn't initially want to go on, but I pressed down on it, hard, and screwed it in place at the same time. Two things, make sure that you tighten it in a clockwise direction looking down on it, and firmly grasp the section just below where you're screwing the end cap on so that you don't accidentally bow or break the handle.I hope that's of some help.

Nope! The top stays on pretty tight. Also, the green part that attaches to the plastic squeeze tube turns to the left to tighten, so when a child takes the orange cap off (which you loosen to the left), they don't also take the green part off (if that makes any sense). We've had ours for about 6 mos. Don't use it every day, but it's held up nicely.

The cap sort of fits on the top, but its not designed to neatly fit on like many pens. That is called "posting" the cap.

I've bought two of these. The first one, I was not able to. The second one didn't really have that problem.My experiences from the first one was that no matter how tightly I screwed the cap on, it would still leak if the bottle was on its side. I never had an issue from either of mine leaking from the cap when it was right-side up. If it leaks from that position, you probably should get a new one because that's not supposed to happen whatsoever.

Mine doesn't snap on either, I don't think it is supposed to. It stays on very securely however, even in high winds.

The cap "clicks" on to cover the writing nib, but slides on securely with no "click" when stored on the other end during writing. It's not going to fall off if that's the concern.

The cap snaps on. It seems like a tight fit. I just took the uncapped pen and shook it hard (like I was shaking a ketchup bottle) 5 or 6 times and on the last shake a small drop of ink came out. Personally, I'm not worried about leaks.

That's a bit large in my opinion but depends on whether you'd be jumping around a lot. After a bit of shaking, the handy cam may well dislodge the clip. The clip is quite tight, even to the point of being hard to slide onto the brim of a baseball cap. In my experience, the weight of my setup makes it necessary for me to really tighten my cap band, even to the point of discomfort. It's the cap that comes loose, never the camera/clip combo. Now if mounted on a helmet visor, where that's not an issue, and the thickness of the visor is even a bit more than my cap, I think you'd be in business.

I believe if held upside down the cap could come off. Unfortunately I can not test as I have donated the item.

Make sure it is somewhat level. Keeping the bottom opening to the high side. When I tighten mine i just barely tighten it and it works like a champ. I also put vaseline on the inside of the cap to help when trying to open. Good luck.

The clear plastic cap snaps on and off. The spray portion screws on and off. Hope that helps!

Hmmm. It should just close when you do that. Try taking the top off and messing with it to see if it closes that way. If that doesn't work, you might have gotten a defective cap.

I have never had that problem with my pen. My cap slips on and off really well.
