I'm having trouble opening a cap!Updated 3 years ago

If you're having trouble with the flow of oil from a bottle and you suspect it has a flow regulator, here are some steps you can try:

  1. Hold the bottle upright and ensure the cap is securely closed.
  2. Gently tip the bottle downward to an angle where the oil should naturally pour out.
  3. Give the bottle a firm but controlled shake in a downward motion, similar to shaking a ketchup bottle. This action may help release the flow regulator.
  4. If the bottle has a separate cap and flow regulator, make sure to shake the bottle with the cap on to maintain pressure.
  5. Observe if the flow regulator pops open and allows the oil to pour. You may need to shake it a few times or with varying intensity to achieve the desired flow.
