I am happy with the product so far. Do I have to keep the cap that goes on the spray nozzle itself?

I would although I do not know if there is any harm if the cap is lost. Doubt Minoxidil evarporates but if the spayer was dropped it might prevent spillage.

It is important that you keep the cap of the Minoxidil Precision Spray nozzle. It allows additional protection from spilling and drying of the Minoxidil solution. Without the cap, you may risk effecting the Minoxidil solution. -Salonceuticals Customer Service

Hi Jon. I would, but that's just me. Think of it like a marker. Without the cap, it'll dry out and be less effective.

yes, it is a small plastic cap basically which I use all the time to avoid hair spray, etc., collecting on the toothbrush. Works great.

Did you unscrew the cap and make sure the sealer is removed from the bottle and is there a hole on the tip of the nozzle?

Yeah, it comes packed with a non-vented cap, I'm guessing so it doesn't leak in shipment. Take it off as well as the cellophane, and replace it with the vented cap after you add water. You can throw the "shipping cap" away.

No, it has a cap to keep the air from drying it out. Just don't cut the tip too large and be sure to put the cap on tight.

Unfortunately there is not a nozzle just the orange cap seen at the top in the picture. I had to scoop it out with a long spoon/paint stick. The product worked great in my Kitchen Aid mixer. It has been about six months in use and no problems. There is enough lube to do the job one more time.

Yes. Good cap and I believe the pump has a lock down, but I don't have one handy to check to be certain.

No, all you need to do is make sure there is a rubber gasket in the spray nozzle and you're good to go.

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 have saved the cap, taken the applicator off and put the cap back on, wrapping the application in plastic or putting the tube and applicator in a zip lock bag. I have also just put plastic wrap over the applicator and secured it with a rubber band, you can also simply stick a small nail or pin in the open tip of the applicator and that works very well too (something painters do with caulk tubes) ... not a problem and it is a good product.

I think there is a small screw that holds the cap in place. I'm not home so I can't check mine out. Sorry.

First of all, don't leave the nozzle attached to the tube after using. Remove the nozzle and replace the cap. Leaving on the nozzle will cause the whole tube to dry out.I find that the best thing for keeping Goop is to put Vaseline on the threads of the tube. That both makes a better seal with the cap, to keep it from drying out, as well as making it much easier to get the cap back off when you want to use it again.As for the nozzle, it's often a one-use piece. But you can get multiple uses if you place a large screw into the still wet Goop in the nozzle. Put the screw in from the large end, not the pointy end. Then you can "usually" pull out the plug of dried goop from the nozzle using pliers on the screw. First of all, don't leave the nozzle attached to the tube after using.

I would guess it is a safety issue. But why would you want to use it when the cap is on? I enjoy mine & haven't had a problem

It actually only needs to be on tight enough to keep it from falling off and getting lost. It serves only to keep incidental debris out of the port. On larger pumps the exhaust port cap is often replaced with an oil mist separator which helps keep the air a little cleaner, especially in an enclosed space, by partially separating oil from exhaust air and returning it to the pump. In short, it doesn't really matter one way or another whether the cap is on or off. Pump operation is unaffected in either case.

Yes, Every time I have ordered this product (at least 3) it came with a cap. Hope that helps! (Report to Amazon and they should replace it)!

I've been using these products for years and have never had a problem with the caps. I also put them in the dishwasher upside down with the valve open.

I have not noticed this problem myself. The cap comes off pretty easy, at least as well as most other pens.
