Anyone have any tips or tricks on how to change the nosepiece size? I made it too small and fell like it's about to break getting it in the hole.

Hi, I just had this same problem. Firmly but gently tug and pull and wiggle side to side slightly. It will finally pop into place. In my opinion, they could have improved this product a lot by giving 3 separate sized nose pieces like the Speedo Vanquisher comes with, or at least provide a spare!

I had a bit of a problem at first. I would measure the hole and measure the part that goes into the hole. If theyaren't the same, you may have to return it. I think we had to make the receptor hole a little bit bigger but I hadsomeone that could do that for me professionally.

I did have a problem early where the mount cracked at this point after a short period of use. The effected part was promptly replaced under warranty. When I replaced it, it did not feel too snug but it was a snug fit. I would not directly force if you feel its too snug. My recommendation would be to put some hard soap on the threads (scrape on a soap bar), then turn the screws into the mount slowly. Back them out a turn, and then screw in two, back out a turn and screw in two, repeat until the bottom of the shrew head is at the top of the metal.

If you are speaking of the center part that fits over the bridge of the nose. That where all of mine have broken over the last 7 years I have been using it. Its almost as if intended to break so that you have to continue to purchase. The adjustments are just only on that part which raise and lower the mask at the bridge. I wish I could be of more help.

Sorry, I cannot help, mine is not sized. It looks just like the photo that you see here.

Shape and diameter both matter. I measured my nostril and sent that info along with a pic to Woody Knows, and they recommended a size that worked perfectly.

I was not very pleased. It was very painful to use and difficult to keep on. My nose is not very wide so it should have been more comfortable. God bless.Kiesha Middleton

No I didn't. I stuck with this ceramic one and although I still feel like my nostril is too small, I am able to make it work.

This same thing happened to me. Regarding the previous commenters suggesting that it was just a tight fit or that I wasn't lining up the rails correctly was not the case. The filter I received was literally 3-4 inches too wide and was also only 4 inches tall. I think I just received the wrong size.

I have the snub nose and the newer 3inch barrel version and the 3inch barrel version will not fit.

I have a small nose and the nosepiece acted like a window for light. The mask was completely ineffective at blocking light for me. However, I had no problem returning it. Little noses, this may not be for you.

The band that goes over the nose bridge can be tightened or loosened. My dog got it into his mouth n chewed through it in about 2 seconds so make sure it is snug.

i dont know. it did not fit mine, so i plug the nose plug off and slid it on one of my parts that fit. i have severe allergies and this helps a lot. gross, but it helps

I am sure the mechanics have a special tool. I used a needle nose plier, as recommended, but they did not do so well. The tips of the plier must fit into the slots on the threaded bolt and the plier must be kept at the right position. You got to try this to understand. It's "tricky", but it can be done without a special tool.

They are not too comfortable. I returned mine. They lenses were short and I could see underneath them. That was my biggest complaint. I don't believe the nose piece is adjustable and is made of hard plastic.
