Issue with seal on Bathmate HydroExtreme

Hello all,

I am having issues getting good seal with my BM Hydroxtreme. I worked great for about a month and then all of the sudden I can't get the seal to stay. I ordered and installed a new valve but this didn't work.

I also have the MityVac and it works great but I like to change it up a little bit and was using the BM in the shower.

Any ideas? Any help is much appreciated.
 
Clean shaven? I removed comfort pad off mine and introduced winevac mod to get a better seal and suction
 
I am clean shaven and I have tried turning it around. I will mess with that some more. It is weird because I had no issues for a month but then all of the sudden it won't keep a seal.

I will also try the winevac mod

Did you clean around where the valve does before installing the new valve? I feel like a biofilm or something builds up around the valve and the rest of the cylinder. After a few weeks, I seem to always have to take the valve off and clean on the pump where the valve attaches... and I don’t even use any lube, oils and no soap ever gets in.
 
If you’re still not getting a good seal after everything you have done try to use a smear of Vaseline around the seal and you should not have this issue any longer.
