Has anyone had a severe blockage open gradually or is it supposed to "pop" noticeably all at once? I've used 4x with no change so far...

I have had the same problem and used it twice a day for weeks with no improvement actually made it worse. Wish I had never purchased it.

I wish I had never purchased this, it didn't work at all for me. Actually seemed to make it worse.

I have tried everything from holding my nose, chewing gum, yawning big and other suggestions. I went to my primary doctor and she said to chew gum and I went to an ENT and she did nothing. This has been happening since I returned from a trip from China in Oct. 2014. I went online and read about the EarPopper I ordered it in Feb. and used it twice a day following the instructions for a few weeks. When I did used it my ears popped opening the eustachian tube but there is still air in my eustachian tubes. That was about a month ago. I haven't used it since. I plan to start using it again for a week. I have tried everything from holding my nose, chewing gum, yawning big and other suggestions.

My blockage popped right away and kept on popping over time and getting better every time.

I never had it do anything for me. Gradually or otherwise. Total waste of money b

My ears did creak and pop and open up a little every time I used it, however, my ear blockage didn't completely resolve for a few more days of using it. Are you sure you are swallowing at the right time? A little water in your mouth may help coordinate the timing.

I agree with the other answer. I had a similar problem but discovered it took a little more effort--and a little squeezing in the right place. If you turn the back so you can see (from the side) the small clips (there are 4 of them) that are holding the back on and squeeze there, on opposite sides, and pull, it opens much more easily that way.

Couldn't tell you where the obstruction is. Mine failed as well. The over-pressure valve initiates every time, even after cleaning the apparatus. My thoughts are the over-pressure valve is loose or faulty.

Hi Kimberly!Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) I apologize for the late reply! The answer is, it should pop right out with gentle corner pressure.

That happens with mine too (difficult to pump).. Probably normal =[ I suppose that's why they cost less than big name. Worth contacting Stant with that question. Let us know what you hear back

Lots!! After you push the "eject" button under the cover and in the top right it will pop open about an inch and then you have too pull pretty hard to open it the rest of the way and it shouldn't damage anything. I noticed that as well but no problem just pull harder!

Both of the previous answers are good...try adjusting the "up force / opening force first as it is the easiest, fastest troubleshoot. Go to your manufacturer web site, type in your model number and look for additional troubleshooting information, including the original manual that will explain all troubleshooting procedures. After all adjustments you should re-check the "down force" for guaranteed safety.

Yes there is a lag time. Don't know if there's a way to shorten it. Don't know about the "Burst" - sorry, wish I could be more help.

Have run 350 tubes of DAP 3.0 and gesilicon II - no issues and controlled feed.It's not presurized but the squeeze is just automated. If you have too small a hole, you may cause exploding. Did not happen with this gun but I've had it happen with Ryobe. Again I believe hole was too small.

Hi yes that happens you also get bubbles in the line. I used it for a little less than a month and then I got an error reading.

So for those of you that got the bump to engage. What did you do when it finally worked? I have tried all kinds of crazy things. Tempted to return. GRRRR

Can you tell me what you told them that they came and did this? Did it do anything for the popping/cracking sound also?Thanks!

Yes... same thing happens with mine. Don't know if this can potentially compromise anything though. Haven't researched it yet.

Can't answer this as of yet, trying to figure out why this open but doesn't closed, or viceversa. Instructions that came with the operator are very voge. So I'm still playing to get the perfect combination to get the operator works as it should.

I am having the same trouble. Not to the extent of your problem. Have you tried WD40? I'm seriously thinking of getting one of the other locking bezels. I should've got the pop n lock or whatever it is. Good luck!

I haven't had that problem. It was a tight squeeze but I did get it on..but the company has excellent customer service. If you are having a problem contact them and I'm sure they will fix it for you.. for free.

I had a similar problem. Turns out it was installed correctly. In my situation, all I had to do was first turn the unlock lever AND lift the gate at the same time to open. Not very intuitive at first and not explained well in the instructions, but soon became second nature.
