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.

I would think a lower pressure would just cause it to spray in a smaller area. Otherwise, I don't know.

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.

I think you have a faulty humidifier. Mind did the same thing. So I emptied it and started all over. I did not leak again but the vapor did not come out of the top funnel, it came out of the seam in the bottom of the humidifier. I returned the item.

I don't think so so far it just seems to mist well, its NOT a high pressure sprayer. I live on a farm and that chicken poop is hard to get off. Probably need a pressure sprayer.

Make sure the spray bottle is pushed all the way down. It clicks when it is in correctly. If there is still an issue get a replacement.

Ours did not work either. Jane finally got it to work. you need to pump the top up and down 10 times to build up the air pressure then it will spray a fine mist for 10-15 seconds, Works great! saves Oil usage. very pleased.

When something similar happened to me I took a dry towel to a hot iron and applied pressure and it came right off. That's the only advice I can give.

I've had mine over a year and its never got condensation in it. I spray it point blank with a pressure washer and nothing..

If it sprays your doing it wrong try holding it straight and don't apply full pressure u can also hold canister right side up at first to start adding then turn over but rem to hold straight and don't apply full pressure spray off Can also mean it's full already as well

Not surprised. Mine isn't producing much mist and I expect it will quit any day now. Unhappy with this purchase and not cheap. I would send it back or email the manufacturer.

If talstar clogs your sprayer then this probably will too. That said you might want to switch to a bigger nozzle. You don't want to atomize this stuff, just put out a stream or mist to dry on a surface. It will minimize the amount you breathe in and maximize the effectiveness

There's a stop valve ;it a bit awkward too operate! You don't have to use it but ;then u loose 15-20psi,just add fews psi that's why mist people do anyways!

It may be possible the nozzle has blockage or it may be the cap is not tightened correctly. It may also be a washer is missing, it's hard to see. I had a problem with the sprayer dripping when I wanted to drain the sprayer into the canister. The problem was I didn't relieve the pressure by removing the canister before squeezing the trigger. That was the only problem I had. I can't give you a more technical assessment, if you are like me, I tend to peruse the instructions, so did have to go back and read them carefully. I'm sure you've thought of most of these things but good luck. I liked It may be possible the nozzle has blockage or it may be the cap is not tightened correctly.

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

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.

If you overfill it, it doesn't produce mist and therefor the water level doesn't go down. Also, make sure you are using tap water, or as the hilariously translated directions say, water derived from the pipes.
