I've used a Misto before and it gets oil down the sides and on the nozzle, making it difficult to hold onto and use. Does the same thing happen here?

over the years we've used several other oil misters. This is by far has been the best. We've had this for over a year and it's still working perfectly.We have not noticed any leakage at all.

I haven't noticed that happening yet. I've only used it about 10 times so far but nothing like that yet. I especially enjoy that I got a few of them and you're able to write which oil it is in chalk on the top. That wasn't a part of description but it looked like it might work and it really works great!

It hasn't happened with me but recommend that the top is secure. That makes such a difference in performance.

I think it only happens when you run low on pressure. Do not try to get every last drop out. Pump it up and it will spray good. This model has a filter at the tip which should help spray even.

I have used two bottles so far and the ball is popping off, thus spilling out a good amount of oil. Has anyone found a different bottle that is better quality. I'm using frankincense neat. Thank you in advance!

Hi there! I tend to slow simmer things for hours and have never had a problem with anything dripping off of it. I LOVE this thing. It is my favorite kitchen tool. :D

Before I actually do a spray, I always pump FIRST. As a result, I haven't had any problem with the follow-up of the actual spraying task. Initially, I had found it necessary to refill with Olive Oil once it reached the half-way mark. That, however, turned out to be the only time. Presently, the bottle approximately has one-inch of oil, and it still sprays the mist.

I've never had a problem with it. Squeeze the handle and it sprays every time. Perhaps you've inadvertently disconnected it or clogged the nozzle. It's pretty simple mechanically, so you can take it apart, inspect, and reassemble it in a few minutes.

You can use JUST olive oil without clogging it but I found that the Misto brand has a better spray pattern than the Prepara. I liked the Prepara because it has a glass holding reservoir; but after testing and using both for some time now the Misto brand is far superior IMHO.

I have not had this problem, however make sure it is not overfilled, and that oil residue is wiped away with a tissue after each use.

One other reviewer said they put it in the top (the circle outlet that diffuses the mist)...I tried using that little slit and I didn't think it was very aromatic. I've been putting the oils into the top part and haven't had any problems. I've had my diffuser for at least 3 or 4 months now. I think the oil I use causes the container to get stained but it's not a very big deal (to me). I use the OnGuard oil from doterra. As a comparison, I bought another diffuser from a different company and that one says to put the oil directly in the water.

I placed the nozzle on and turned it until it felt like it had reached the tightest position only to notice it still felt loose and dribbled liquid on the kitchen counter. I proceeded to tighten further until I couldn't tighten anymore and that seems to have stopped leak. I suggest manufacturer of container go to manufacturer of nozzle and come up with a more secure combination.

It may be possible the nozzle has blockage or it may be the cap is not tightened correctly. It may also be a washer is missing, it's hard to see. I had a problem with the sprayer dripping when I wanted to drain the sprayer into the canister. The problem was I didn't relieve the pressure by removing the canister before squeezing the trigger. That was the only problem I had. I can't give you a more technical assessment, if you are like me, I tend to peruse the instructions, so did have to go back and read them carefully. I'm sure you've thought of most of these things but good luck. I liked It may be possible the nozzle has blockage or it may be the cap is not tightened correctly.

I would strongly recommend you contact Graco. Ommissions from operations and maintenance manuals do not help you or your warranty. More than once a substitution as you're suggesting has made it's way into future versions of manuals ... after confirmation by the manufacturer, of course. WD-40 is a fishoil based product. While it might not harm the sprayer, you may have difficulty with contamination afterward. Again ... I'd consult Graco.

i don't know....does not bother me & i just tried a drop neat. maybe you are sensitive to it. try another oil.

I clean it everyday and let it dry. no problem yet. it doesn't take much good oil in this as it vapors quickly .

I oiled mine right from the box and take it slow. I've not had any problems, but it could also depend on the type of hair you have.

I'm not sure; the problem seems to be viscosity, all of the oils I tried were to thick to spray well.

Perhaps the opening of your bottle is defective. I've used this product for several years and can just put my finger over the opening, tip the bottle upside down then right the bottle and have just enough oil to dab around my eyes, etc. It takes several times to get enough oil if I'm doing my whole face.

Ours did not work either. Jane finally got it to work. you need to pump the top up and down 10 times to build up the air pressure then it will spray a fine mist for 10-15 seconds, Works great! saves Oil usage. very pleased.
