Just dont crank the lid down tight. They're designed to spin the lid down, and once it stops on its own it's sealed.

My relative, who works in manufacturing of similar items, has told me that the airtight silicone seals are meant to stay in place. Apparently, higher temperatures can affect the effectiveness, and the silicone ring may start falling out of place. I would contact the manufacturer to see if they will send you a replacement, might be easier than returning to a merchant, especially if it has been some time. http://progressiveintl.com/contact

There shouldn't be any air coming out when it's not attached to anything, you should contact the seller. Maybe one of the safety valves, pressure gauge, or fill port is loose?

I have had a the same thing happen, only mine didn't happen until several months after use. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do, but I just "pop" it down with my hand kind of hard and it starts. As Scott said, it started doing that after I didn't get it sealed and it leaked. So I am guessing that there is just some "gunk" in there causing it to stick. If you wouldn't mind, please post what you find out from customer service. I am still able to use mine, but it continues to stick occasionally.

Hi John; sorry to hear about your problem. I suspect, that you have a humidor; with a larger capacity. In my humidor, with a capacity of 150 cigars; I have four of these and my humidity is between 68 and 70%. A second thought; was to ask, if you replaced the shipping caps with the perforated ones supplied. I have had guys ask, why I broke the seal on the caps. You have to, to put on the perforated caps. Moisture is supposed to pass through the tubes' body; but I suspect most of the moisture passes out, through the perforated caps. I don't know if my comments will help; but I sure hope they will. Let me know, if you can. George

Try sucking the air our before you close it that way it's a tight fit and if that dosent work try adding some foam around it.

Make sure the gasket is seated correctly and there is nothing in the lid channel. Otherwise it should just drop on and you twist to seal.

Mine did the same thing. I just pushed them back in and that worked. It was rather difficult to do, but they went in. Just make sure to push at the base of the yellow spigot. If you try to press ON the yellow spigot or the metal piece that sticks out you may damage it and it could start leaking. I hope that works for you!!

Have you tried usimg that white sealant tape on the connections you have to screw on? That is something that is necessary on things like this yet are not usually included. When I bought my pump it used to leak air as well until I used that tape.

You need to make sure that slide the outer hinge out correctly!! I had that problem too, until I figured out how to seal it properly!!

I had the same problem and mine broke. You can try running hot water over the outside to loosen them up, but they are really prone to breaking so be careful.

Hmmm, mine does that occasionally but usually when the tips need cleaning. Try rubbing them clean to see if it unclogs them. Otherwise, I would say it may be defective.

I have had mine for years and never had a problem. Sounds like to me, you have a broken seal. It's getting wet inside. Sorry.

If your bags are losing pressure, there must be a pin hole in the bags, that's why the bags doen't seal properly. If there is any type of liquid, this can happen. I noticed this , so I bought the bags with the liquid absorbing pad attached to them. Hope this helps.

I did not have that problem but I would definitely return them. They could have been depressurized if they were sent to you via an airplane flying at high altitude. This is definitely not normal.

I have had mine for almost 6 months without a drop of leaking. Perhaps try reassembling it.
