Sprays a mist so fine that most all of it goes up the vent, nothing on pan. Just when it starts to spray something out, pressure is gone. Ideas?

In response to M. Hursh, it may be possible that it was not pumped enough to build up the pressure needed before the spray. It does require a few pumps before the top becomes stiff and it does not last long if it sits a while from my short time experience with this product.

First, only fill half way so there is enough air space in the container to hold some air pressure. Pump a few times until the pressure on pump is firm but not tight. Second, hold closer to pan.

Chill the oil before using it in order to increase the viscosity. You can also temporarily turn off the vent or move the pan away from the cooktop before spraying. The latter suggestion is probably also the safest as atomized oil and open flames or extremely hot surfaces are not a good combination.

I don't spray on a frying pan, it with a special covering. It is convenient to cover food in an oven that there was a rkmyany crust. Especially conveniently at preparation of salads. I fill capacity half and I do 6-8 musclemen. It is quite enough.

I use EVOO in mine and don't have the same issue. You can pump that thing really hard without having to worry about damaging it. Pump until it won't pump anymore and try a different oil maybe.

join the club! I've spent a lot of time trying to figure that out and I never did. I cleaned all the hoses and the heater. I even replaced the pump, but it still does not spray. I had only used it twice and cleaned it well before storing.

I haven't had this problem but I would start with soaking the spray nozzle in hot soapy water to get rid of any build- up. Also check the end of the tube to make sure nothing is clogging it.

Am so sorry I cannot answer your question. I bought this as a gift for my son. Guessing you have kind of a vapor lock. Maybe put a very thin knife in and try to release the pressure that has built up. Know I need to do that when I open goods I have canned. Good luck.

I find that if people are sitting underneath the sprayers, they will get water mist on them, which will make them wet after awhile. Make sure your misters are not dripping, and that there is a very fine mist coming out.

There should be no air coming out, probably a bad valve. Try putting a 3 in 1 oil in, valve might be sticky.

You might try pumping less... or take a needle to the spray hole at both the entry and exit points to make sure there is no obstruction. You could also try boiling the spray tip with dish soap to clean it out.

My "guess" ... If the condensation is warm/hot ....it's not sealed correctly... the rubber/foam seal at the top of the body that snugs up to the top of the humidifier must be tight.... If it's not.. steam is able to escape... hope this helps.... Greg

Sometimes I have this problem if I don't completely release all of the pressure. If that doesn't work, use a little oil and run it as close to the seal as possible.

I haven't been able to make it mist. It may be because my goal was for it to spray.

No steam should come out once the unit is up to pressure. It will steam while it is pressuring up, but make sure the valve is in the right position. Once it has built up pressure it should seal itself off!

No it does not...depending on the area to be covered a hand spray bottle works or in my case I used a spray gun/compressor set up...Do avoid breathing the vapors..like any paint etc. YOU DO NOT want to inhale the mist..that said I found this the work very well !! I lined up an awning...bimini top..tent and a few small things and shot them all..WATER DOES NOT GET PAST THIS STUFF...

Mine works after pumping the top down a few times, then I can use the spray. Maybe yours is faulty?

Hello, I have a release valve pressure gauge on my unit. When I press to button air is released into the tire. I read the new pressure and decide if the ire needs more air or not. If air is not being released try pressing the small valve at the stem? If air does not come out then you have a problem with the hose connector. Hope that helps. The unit has work fine for me.

Are you sure your nozzle isn't stuck? Try changing to Nozzle Clean mode, spray, and back to one of the other modes.

Try squeezing the spout to make sure the slits in it are open. Then make sure the vent hole has also gone all the way through. On one of mine I had to poke a hole where the vent is (I used the sharp part of a corn holder). This should do the trick.

Good answers from Ray and Don. I like the extending the wand idea. Personally i would try pumping the pressure to the max and adjusting the nozzle for a stream rather than mist spray. Be sure to wear protective gear as you are likely to get the spray on you.
