Any problems with BB domes breaking?

The nozzle at the end of my medium BB domes broke off when I was trying to disattach the dome from the tube---So the nozzle was stuck in the tube. I had to hammer it and get it to break into small pieces then pick them out with a needle nose plyer. So i ordered more medium domes and one of them arrived with the nozzle broken off! The very thing I was replacing them for. Is this rare?
I e-mailed the guy and he responded this is very unusual, like he has a feeling I'm lying about this. So of course I am a little annoyed and am just looking for if this does happen or not. If not, then what a weird coincidence.

I have only heard of one other account of this happening to someone on the yahoo group.
If I remember correctly she was told to put oil on the nozzle before placing it into the end of the tubing to help it to slide out easier. mine have gotten stuck before but never broke off. I was able to get them unstuck by sticking one end of tweezers in between the tubing and the nozzel to break the seal. I guess I should try this oil thing. I know that's not what you wanted to hear but maybe it will prevent it from happening again.

It actually just happened AGAIN to the other dome not 5 minutes ago---and this time I wasn't even changing domes! All I did was put it on my chest, press my hand to it to get it to form suction, and the nozzle just snapped right off!
If this is such an unusual thing why has it happened to me 3 times in one month?
So f---ing frustrating.
Though the oil the does make sense---and I did do that to the other one after it broke off... i'll do it to this one too, though now i'm waiting for the domes to come in! Christ.

That makes sense, maybe a bad batch of domes if they all came from the same seller. If that is the case I'm sure you are not the only one to complain about the problem. So he should be well aware of it and not give you any grief.

I used BB for the last 10 weeks of my Brava session most days (and those BB domes had already done a few months on someone else). I then used a new set of large and then a new set of XL. The first set of large domes developed a crack in the side after maybe 15 weeks worth of wear but I never broke any of the nozzles off any of them.

That's weird that it happened to you too grasscutter--- I did get them from the gismostore, too. And he told me twice he's never heard of this happening before or had anyone complain. So I guess he's lying? That's so ****ty--what's the point? I wasn't angry or upset or anything I just asked nicely if he could send me a replacement since it arrived broken. Geez.
Anyway thank you for your input girls. I've been wearing one medium dome and one small dome until I get the other medium in. The small fills up in about 5 minutes but oh well at least the other boob is still being worked on!
