There is a hard plug in the opening of the bottle...how do I get it out?

The oil gets hard at the top of the bottle. Neem oil does not stay liquid. I use a table knife to take it out and add it to warm water.

I just stick an old ice pick down through the plug. It is long and has a handle, so it is very easy.

Try prying it open with a screwdriver or a butterknife.try pressing it down then pry up.

The bottle that I have is a flip top type. You squeeze it to get the product out.

It's that gray plastic plug...just pull it out. I don't remember exactly where it was, but it only took a minute or less to find it and throw it out. Just look for the plastic thing that makes the water passage smaller.

The bottle has a foil seal. Don't remove it. Just poke a tiny hole in the center with a pin, and it works really well. Another thing I might do is transfer some into a small travel-size bottle...hopefully one with closeable spout. Way easier to handle! Hope that helps.

push down on the grey cap as you try to unscrew. This is sorta like the safety cap on a bleach bottle. You'll feel it click into the slot...

the inside of the cap has a spike which makes the hole. after peeling off the plastic ring, close the bottle tightly so that the spike punctures the inside top of the vial. when you then remove the cap from the vial, you'll see the hole is there.

I got the same issue at first. I managed to open it up this way: Hold the bottom plastic/clear at the point (the spout) with one finger in one hand, and your other hand is holding the the stainless/metal part, then pull the clear plastic part away from the stainless /metal part. Good luck. Hope it works for you.

To remove it, just grasp the two extended levers and pull off with slight force. I have kept mine on there in case I need to bring the bottle with me during travels.

I usually push it out using a sliding motion with my thumb. If that isn't working, get some needle nose pliers or tweezers and try that way, but apply as LITTLE as pressure as you can if using the pliers.

At the top end by the handle where the cord comes in, pull it up. It doesn't come easy but that will loosen it enough to just pull the insides up and out. Hope this helps.

Is it hard to pull the bottle off because the no spill cap is creating resistance? I'm not exactly sure what your question is.

I can't get mine out either. I will try what you said and see if I can get it out. Thanks!

You can simply squeeze the outside of the prongs and twist the unit counter clockwise to remove the cork. HOWEVER, I strongly suggest you read my original review and throw this dangerous device in the trash. The device exploded a bottle in my wife's hand, severing an artery and causing her to receive 13 stitches. Using this is akin to playing Russian Roulette

Make sure you don't squeeze the bottle when you put it in so you don't create a vacuum the machine can't overcome. Take the bottle out and put it back in without squeezing it and see what happens.

Per Libman's website: "If the bottle is hard to remove, fill it with hot water, let it sit for two minutes, and then pull bottle out." I personally don't take the bottle out and just fill it up with a measuring cup.

bottle clips to handle and clicks into fluid receptacle. Releases by pressing a button and pulling up/out.
