one of the 4 pieces I received did not have a pre cut slit. is there anything I can do about this to get water out of the straw?

2 of mine were like that. I just worked with them back and forth until it released the slit. Also try a sharp knife. They are just stiff. Hope this helps!

I was highly disappointed in this product and returned it back to Amazon for a refund.

Either try using a razor blade or sharp paring knife. Look at one of your other valves and make a copy cut on your unslotted valve. Second option, contact Camelbak, they have an excellent customer service process. Based on my experience, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't resolve this for you favorably. Good luck.

I purchased and received the straw but I have not attempted to use it. I suppose I shoud before I need it and find it does not work, but for now I ccannot help you.

It will not work without the straw. Even if the straw is misaligned or not fully inserted it does not work.

You need to make sure the air slit is not wet at all.. if it has any moisture in it the steam won't come out of the top.. the slit is different than where the steam comes out of, its under the top and on a side. Wipe it really well and assemble and try again.

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

there should be a sort of cross slit in the spout, if you squeeze it together you may see it, otherwise it is hard to see it.

you have a problem. the water should drip down the material in the back. take it part (back panel} and make sure nothing foreign is in there. it is how you clean it anyway and you should get familiar with it.

At the top where the water expulsion ports are, there is a plastic divider that moves back and forth, it can get stuck by leaves or debris. Move it back and forth with your finger a couple times and it will usually work fine after that...

Try pushing the straw in deeper. It happens to me when I take it apart to wash and don't put it back together properly. Hope it helps

I had the same problem but doing better with the following procedures: Prior to using I fill a large plastic cup with hot water and immerse the long plastic straw in it and spray the hot water through it. I repeat this a few times. Then when I'm finished spraying the plants IU repeat the procedure and make sure clean water is coming through. so far it's doing ok. Problem is the thickness of the Deer Off.

I'd use some sort of mesh filter or take a piece of 11/2'' schedual 40 and cut slits in it. alot of them will be needed as to not starve the pump of suction

I got the coffee one and it had everything with it. I will double check regarding the plugs for the holes.Maybe talk to the company about sending you the missing pieces.

It is supposed to come with a straw. I did not receive one either, but did not notice right away. Therefore, I just let it be, but I wish I had contacted the seller.

I'm guessing that there is a piece of vegetation inside the mechanism. I bought this for someone else and don't have one to look at. Can you see a way to open the mechanism and clear the obstruction?

I bought one locally and have the same problem. About a half-inch gap allows ice/mix to splash out. A bit messy! They said they'll send a new part. Hopefully, that'l help.

there are no pre cut tabs around the outer edge. my chain goes through the bottom vent hole
