After fitting the lids on and filling cap with water, do you place the small plastic lid back on tight? If so, doesn't this trap the gas in the jar?

YES, I CALLED !!! Place 2 of the flat lids on till sealed then remove the top one and you will have a tight seal. I wanted it for that reason, and was down to the last ok to buy it She I saw your question and the answers you were getting. I STOPPED RIGHT THERE, AND CALLED. I have bought mine.

Make sure it is tipped up enough to fill the nipple part with the air hole on top of course . I have found no problem with gas.

You can probably look it up online but if memory serves, there are two parts which go inside the container and one may already be inside. There is a round plastic cylinder, which stays in when you fill it up with water, and a plastic straw like piece that has a flat round top that goes inside the bottle once the water has been put in. Fill till the water flows over and then insert the straw piece. Then you screw in the metal top very tight, chill the container, then install the Co2 cylinder. FYI I find it a good idea to hold the bottle in its side when screwing in the CO2 cylinder because lots of the gas seems to escape before you can screw it solidly into place. There is a Key shaped plastic piece which you can use if you want to remove the internal plastic cylinder so that you can really rinse out the bottle or for a real wash. You insert the small end into the cylinder and twist and it unlocks and you can remove it. It has to be reinserted the same way and must be flush with the open top when you reinsert it.

Make sure the plastic straw tightly fits the round plastic part, and that both together create a seal at the top of the bottle before you add the top black handle+ charger (make sure that part is tightly screwed in). When you're ready to add your CO2, do it quickly (no gas should escape) and when the bubbling action stops, shake bottle for about a minute. Good luck!

Yes. All of mine have one built into the removeable lid. A simple ring that is attached to a pin that when pulled will release the gas.

Yes. There is a silicone gasket that behaves akin to a wine cork to seal the mouth of jar. When you pull up on the lid you will hear air being slowly sucked in, and in the reverse, being pushed out.

Make sure the lid is snapped on tightly and it is fine. I used it once without the lid and it left a mess.

I haven't had that problem...quite the opposite. The lid was on so tight I had trouble getting it off.

They seem to be pretty air and water tight ... Like with any container, there may be a little leakage, but my lid goes on tight and doesn't move when on. I had to cut holes in my lid for my bread gasses to escape.

As long as you push the lid into groove, it stays on very tight. I am very pleased with mine. I got them about 6-7 months and had no problem.

Always drain the gas, unless you add the preservative, it is hard to drain, but it is. Small tank

Nope...lid holds very tight....the center cap holds tight but seems as if there is enough roo. To allow steam to pass so pressure doesn't buold up

Yes. Every time you open it again, you have to re-gas the bottle before you close it. i usually wait until the end of the day when I know i won't be pulling it back out again.

This is not typical. I have 3 of these and the lid closes very tightly. The plastic snap on cap snaps down hard and tight! So tight that it can be hard to open the white snap cap. As far as the entire "lid" it screw on very tightly as well, no leaks! I would send it back. I can close mine and shake and its very secure!

These are the plastic lids that are sold specifically to cover canning jars but with a hole drilled into them with a gasket to make a straw fit tight. However, it is very hard to put a straw into that gasket so I just took the gasket out. Hence, mine would definitely leak if tipped over. Ball has recently come out with sippy lids that are affordable as opposed to the 'cuppow' lids that are made to insert into canning jar rings. Those would probably leak also if tipped over. At least if one is tipped over you can retrieve it quickly and hardly anything would leak out (hopefully).

I've had 2 of these. My newest one, the lid is definitely tighter, but still a one handed operation. If it doesn't get easier quickly, I'd get a different one. Is the seal glued on properly? Maybe it slipped??
