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 thought they didn't fit at first either, but I figured out that just need to push it on pretty hard. Don't worry about breaking it, they are both firm but soft enough to attach. So just push it on hard enough for it to pop on and no need to lubricate it or anything, once it's on it stays locked into place and also I learned it's easier to twist and pull when taking it off. Let me know if that helped ;)

I ran into the same problem. With patience, and by turning it gently and carefully, I finally got it to come off. It helps to screw it on carefully, and evenly, however, it was often difficult to remove. I eventually got a different (slightly more expensive) filter and adapter ring. Good luck with it!

I had the same issue too, I could not figure it out. I knew it had to fit because it was the same size at the powder. You have to unscrew the cap on the powder bottle and then it will fit. It is so much better with puff applicator then trying to sprinkle it on.

l put Vasaline on cone end to make it slide on. easier to point where you twist it to lock in place. Regards, Don☺.

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.

There would be a limit to the size of nose the device could fit, but in general it is quite flexible. It also relaxes with time so the first times it is worn it has more tension than after a week or two. I think it would take a longer time to acclimate with a smaller nose. But, the price is right for taking a chance and the benefits are great if it works for you.

Great video on how to size on te 3M site. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M-PPE-Safety-Solutions/Personal-Protective-Equipment/Products/Product-Catalog/~/3M-Full-Facepiece-7800S-M-Respiratory-Protection-Medium-Silicone-1-EA-Case?N=4294930978+5011378&&Nr;=AND%28hrcy_id%3AGS4NR62TD2gs_X9C5QRX8KM_N2RL3FHWVK_GPD0K8BC31gv%29&rt;=d

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

I found the same problem...takes two men and a small dog to hook the things. I hooked them BEFORE I put the thing on. Took a lot of effort but got it on....it felt like I was in a straight jacket. I think the Med/Large is just to small. They should increase the length of the velcro tabs and put some thumb hooks or something you can get a hold on the tabs better.

To "Boog ?" A. Claymaker gave the best answer to my mind. You want it to fit just outside the mask to assure protecting your nose. Pointpilot

For a mini schnauzer I purchased Medium. It says to measure around the nose area in the sizing instructions. I purchased one for our home and a second one for the car!

I recommend trying larger size. Mine put too much pressure and I couldn't wear it much. Not sure if it a good idea. Surgery is answer.

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.

There is a screw just inside the plastic nose cowl. I used a long, thin, Philips screwdriver and loosened / tightened the screw. You have to bend the cowl in a little to reach the screw. Kind of scary but, it worked.

The best solution and easiest was to add weight....such as coins...inside the nose. This moves the center of gravity forward to give it more forward tilt.

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.
