Why Does My Easy Accent Decorator Keep Popping Off?

[JAE]

I use my EAD pretty much just for whipped topping (Cool Whip). I was making the Profiterole Puffs and shooting cool whip into them , and the tip popped off, over and over. I finally taped it shut with packing tape! I've had this problem in the past with the open star tip too. What is the problem? Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm afraid to use it at shows because of this, and I don't like to talk about it very much because I don't want to sell something that doesn't work right. Please help.

only thing I can think of is maybee you had the barel screwed in the wrong end????

How long have you had it? They had to redesign it a few years ago and made the ring that keeps the tips on bigger. If that's not the problem, I'm sorry, I have no other options other than calling HO and telling them!

I really don't know how old mine is. I've had it for at least 6 years, but it's the same barrel size that was sent as a replacement part for a friend.

I would be willing to bet it's the older style, then. Maybe one of the "experts" on here can shed some light on that. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

I will have to check if I screw it on right.

Is the outer ring "chunky" or kind of thin? The redesigned ones are significantly chunky - you have to turn them a full turn to attach, not just 1/4 turn to screw the top on.

You can order a new one on supply order for much less.

BTW there is no 'right end' - they are interchangeable, or so says the PIG!

God Bless You!

Mine that is about 6 years old did the same thing!!!! All the time - deviled eggs was horrible. I finally broke down and got a new one on my last supply order since it was on the list (and I misplaced a tip or two). It seems much better, although I haven't done deviled eggs with it yet...

I have te new styled one and have had no problems with it popping off. I have done eggs with no problem too. My barrell is a little messed up b/c I forgot to turn of the "heated dry" on my dishwasher and it warped a little but it still works fine.
