CheZoom Teal. Thanks for the info, guys; I'll try swapping the nozzle tip from a good can with the problem can and see what happens.
Hope it works out.

It didn't seem clogged, it was splattering big drops quite well. The second can was better but still not spraying the mist as fine as Pactra rattle-cans typically do. Who knows, maybe some air pressure was lost over time as these cans sat on a shelf somewhere for who-knows-how-long before I received them...

You have been around here long enough to know that most good threads have at least one or two smart ass replies. This issue isn't a life or death situation. The sun will rise in the morning and set in the evening and the price of tea in China will not be affected by your malfunctioning spray cans. The information given here comes from the affection we have for these cars and our willingness to help out a fellow nut. So what I'm trying to say is chill and don't piss people off.

My thoughts exactly, most of the charm on this forum is members' willingness to help, their knowledge, and last but not least their HUMOUR. Take the last key word off, and this place is not the same any longer... (rant off)
