Default Libra dosing vessel almost impossible to open

Just wondering if anyone else has this issue, and if so how did you correct it. I used to be able to easily pop of the lids to refill but they are extremely hard to pry off now. They suction right shut.. I usually need to knock upwards under lid with a hammer. Can I put anything on the inside rubber ring?

Try some silicone gasket lube. I can actually bring you some if you don't have any

Hey Janet, food grade silicone grease works well.

I've tried ones from Home Depot from the plumbing aisle. It's more sticky than smooth. Compared with Bk or avast which I like better. Places that sell o rings should carry as well. Fluid seal, new line hose and fittings etc...
