This can be due to a number of factors:
* Is the lid dry and clean and properly tightened before vacuuming? This is because it can happen that a lid is just not properly sealed and therefore air escapes. This can also cause the Nanostopper to pop back up. This can also happen if there is food in the jar that is producing gas or is still fermenting.
* Is the lid or the rim of the lid perhaps bent? Trying another lid of the same brand may help. Also, some lids have multiple vacuum rings. Then if the hole for the Nanostopper is not properly centered, vacuuming may fail. In addition, the lid should also have a silicone interior.
* Have the contents of the jar or bottle come into contact with the Nanostopper or the lid? Then the valve can no longer close properly. Thoroughly cleaning and drying the Nanostopper can help. The Nanostoppers can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
