I'm getting ready to bottle my first batch in about a week so I ordered a vinator. It showed up yesterday, and I was excited to put it together and see how it worked first hand. I got the same spring problem most people seem to have from reading here under control after a few attempts, but I've got another one that I couldn't find a remedy to by searching.
Everything goes together right, I fill it about halfway up the white base with water just to test it out. When I push the bottle down and the plunger compresses I get a strong spray up into the bottle but when the plunger is returning to the extended position, a bunch of water shoots up from in between the white base and the plunger piece. its not just a tiny flow either, it seriously shoots up enough to hit the bottle and I don't remember seeing that in any of the videos I watched.
Is this user error, or did I get a busted vinator?
