Hi
Did any one hear of a problem with the blue air adjustment screw?
Some one me that it is to short and if I want a better foaming I need to replace it with a similar caliber black screw that comes whit the packaged
Thanks

I never have, my blue screw works just fine.

On some of the first units the screw was too small, the length was actually fine the issue was that there was enough space between the threads for air to get by the tapping of the thread was oversize by a fraction of a millimeter. That hasn't been an issue since the first batch.

The blue screw is so tight, I cannot turn it with my fingers...I have to use a dime in the slot. It doesn't want to seem to close off...it is starting to strip the slot when I try to turn it down.
So I guess I have one of the *fixed* batch? Does this mean that I don't need a longer black screw?

Correct, it should not be that tight though, it is a bit tough to turn by hand but it should still be possible.

Nope, can't turn it by hand. I did follow your suggestion, and lower the water level to 1/2" below the line, and it seems to work *much* better! Thanks!
