Anyone have any tips or tricks on how to change the nosepiece size? I made it too small and fell like it's about to break getting it in the hole.

Hi, I just had this same problem. Firmly but gently tug and pull and wiggle side to side slightly. It will finally pop into place. In my opinion, they could have improved this product a lot by giving 3 separate sized nose pieces like the Speedo Vanquisher comes with, or at least provide a spare!

I found the same problem...takes two men and a small dog to hook the things. I hooked them BEFORE I put the thing on. Took a lot of effort but got it on....it felt like I was in a straight jacket. I think the Med/Large is just to small. They should increase the length of the velcro tabs and put some thumb hooks or something you can get a hold on the tabs better.

Mine fit pretty tightly. I applied pressure and twisted it as I put it on. I had to scrape off some dirt build up too. Hope this helps.

I had a very difficult time getting it to fit as well. I don't know what the trick is. Sorry.

The nose cone/spinner pops right off. I just grab it with two fingers and pull, allowing access to the nut holding the prop. If that doesn't work try a small standard driver to pry between the joint.

I have the snub nose and the newer 3inch barrel version and the 3inch barrel version will not fit.

Great video on how to size on te 3M site. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M-PPE-Safety-Solutions/Personal-Protective-Equipment/Products/Product-Catalog/~/3M-Full-Facepiece-7800S-M-Respiratory-Protection-Medium-Silicone-1-EA-Case?N=4294930978+5011378&&Nr;=AND%28hrcy_id%3AGS4NR62TD2gs_X9C5QRX8KM_N2RL3FHWVK_GPD0K8BC31gv%29&rt;=d

The best solution and easiest was to add weight....such as coins...inside the nose. This moves the center of gravity forward to give it more forward tilt.

Mine fit snug without a problem. Maybe you can try to put tape around the part that goes in the hole so it can fit tighter.

Bruce, First what size strip are you wearing??? Anything bigger than a sm/med is to big....I recently got new glasses which come down further on my nose causing the same problem you are having.....keeping my glasses tightened is helping.... I have been wearing breathe right strips day an night for over 10 years!!! Maybe before you put a new one on you could cut a tiny bit off each end....that would shorten it, an may help the curling ends....hope this helped!!! Jean Heming....one last thing make sure you are getting the oil on the sides of your nose cleaned off , I use the blue clean & clear oil absorbing sheets from Wal Mart found in the make up dept, I believe....

I'm not too sure maybe a small? I would try and send a message to the seller and ask them. I read you want the edge of the cone to come past their nose, but my dog being a German shephard has a long nose so his goes slightly past the cone. The cone has a couple Velcro adjustments to go more snug or loose. Hopes this helps, let us know. Good luck

It would probably fit a wider nose then a smaller nose. It kept slipping off of our noses and we have thin noses. But I am not sure.

Try turning it upside down. I thought both ends looked the same and had the same problem. Finally out of frustration I turned it upside down and it fit great.

Your Handguard inside. dia is 1.750" and the nose cone should fit you may have to use some set screws, there the same size as the end cap.

Shape and diameter both matter. I measured my nostril and sent that info along with a pic to Woody Knows, and they recommended a size that worked perfectly.

First, make sure both swivel points are pushed together tightly (at the helmet & mirror). If this doesn't work I pull them apart and lightly take a pair of pliers to the ball part of the swivels and rough them up slightly which slightly expands them for a more snug fit. As a last resort I enlarge the ball with J-B Weld and sand them down to fit snugly.

There's a sizing guide on this page of the website: http://www.woodyknows.com/Products.asp They used to sell cheaper frames (without filters) for sizing purposes, but I don't see that on Amazon anymore. Based on my nose measurements, I initially ordered the IIIR, but I later figured out the IIIS fits better. My "nares" are round, but the interior of my nose is narrower. In short, the sizing is tricky because all noses are different. But it's worth the effort. The filter has really helped me. Best of luck.
