Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I’ve used a lot of these “smart dispensers” now and thought I’d share tips for using it. First of all, after using the old straw for years this new smart straw is awesome. I’m not dripping foam all over the place anymore and I honestly can keep using the same can over and over until I’m done with it. (some of my cans have lasted over 30 days by the way, up to a couple of months). Here’s my tips: Make sure you thread the dispenser all the way onto the valve (see my first photo), like to the point where you start turning the valve itself. Do not unwind it! If you unwind it after you’ve started using it, the pressure in the straw might unwind the straw on it’s own and make a mess. Be aware of that! You can break them. It is made of plastic. The weak point is where the moving straw part meets the part that screws onto the valve. (see the spot circled in my other photo) I think another reviewer showed that same location because it was leaking foam there. That’s because it broke there. It only breaks if you put a lot of force on the end of the straw. If you are going to force the straw into a crack, or are going to press hard on the tip, use your other hand to support the end of straw so it doesn’t tweak that weak spot while you're spraying. In order to get the most consistent bead of foam, I’ve found that if I let up on the trigger slowly at the end of each spray I won’t get a gush out of the straw on the next pull. Letting off slowly releases the pressure in the straw so it doesn’t spurt out on the next pull. Hope that helps. I love this smart straw and I can’t believe they didn’t come out with something like this years ago.
