Just been put on this and setting it up is different/ weird.

1. When I pushed the tube in ,I don't recall hearing a click. Pulled it out a little and pressed down, still no click.

2. I didn't feel anything when taking it, is that the same for others?

3. ^^ made me check , so sometimes the mist comes out if the cap is off when twisting . Does that happen to others.

Thanks for any answers

( the counter does go down though)

Hi. Sometimes it can be really hard to push the canister fully in. It took me a while to get the knack of it. You need to push really hard until it is fully in. To load it, you have the cap on, twist and the activation button pops up. Then you take the cap off and inhale.

Thanks.Can you feel the spray in your throat/ mouth?

Although might be different person to person

I can’t feel the spray as such, sometimes a sort of taste in my mouth. If in doubt, give it a twist and spray one into the air - you’ll see a fine mist.

It's a soft mist rather than the spray you get with something like Ventolin, so you probably won't feel it. I don't but I'm pretty sure it's working as if I miss it I will notice!

The mist can come out if you twist it with the cap off yes.

When I insert a new canister I bash it against something hard like the bath/wall to get it to go in (have to wonder what old people do with this!) Then the plastic cap goes over the top fine and I can twist it backwards and forwards.

Not what you're looking for?
