A314 dropper inconsistency

Anyone have that problem, sometimes I get drops and sometimes I get globs when I apply, I thought maybe an air bobble so I’ve tapped the bottle a couple of times, I’ve shaken it, I’ve done everything I can think of at the moment.

Now there are some residue of the A314 on the sides where the plastic is. I’m thinking that there is something that’s bubbling up and making a bigger drop than what is supposed to come out. I have some sterile gauze and I thought of drying it up and seeing if that works. I don’t have much product in that specific bottle left but I’m guessing since no bacteria and nothing else that can contaminate, I can use it to clean out the top right?

Normally I’d just do it but since I have a new bottle also and it might happen again I want to make sure I don’t throw away $110 bucks worth of product by contamination.

Thanks guys

Sorry mate I don’t get that problem. The drops come out in consistent amounts for me. Dodgy dropper maybe?

Could be, I gotta check out the new bottle I got once this one runs out

do you hold it at a 45 degree angle when you use it?

Yeah the dropper is kinda tricky. What I usually do is just hold the bottle to my finger and until I get a drop then I spread it around.

If the bottle is really heated up then the drops will come out much faster which means you’ll need to be a little more cautious.

In cold weather, the drops come out slower so you’ll have a little more control. Bottom line, don’t let the bottle heat up too much or you’ll have problems controlling the dosage.

Thanks for the info K-train

Since I’m near the end of this bottle, I just took the gauze and cleaned out most of it, I still had that problem, I’m probably going to crack open another bottle and test it out that way, maybe I just got a faulty dropper, no wonder why this bottle lasted me only a little less than 3 months.

P51Mustang,

Sometimes I have the problem of two drops coming out, one drop immediately after the other. K-Train could be onto something helpful when he mentions temperature, though. Sometimes I’ve had A314 come out quickly after it’s been in the car for a few hours (but not in direct sun, of course).
