Blast media won't flow properly

[jvo]

I've got a Bad Boy Blasters cabinet and it worked pretty good till I went to use it last night. I can't get the aluminum oxide to flow up to and through the gun very well any longer. The cabinet came with a water trap, and there doesn't seem to be any moisture in the media.

I did however change the ceramic nozzle a while back, and it might not be the same size as the original. Does that matter a whole bunch? I've never been able to get the media to flow perfectly, and have adjusted the bolt on the siphon mechanism up and down and back and forth a million times, in large and small increments and can't seem to find the magic place that makes the media flow properly.

Is there a better quality blast gun that I can buy to replace the original? I'm lost on this, any help is appreciated.

Take some of the media out. We had a problem with the one at work because it acted like it was loading up. I removed probably a 1/3 or a little more of the media and it worked like a charm.
