    I had the same issue. I was capping with the wing model on the right and I was losing carbonation. With heartbreaking competition results.

    I bought the left model.

    I do believe you can wear out the wing model, especially because the gears are plastic.

    If you are having issues, just replace it. Maybe you got a poorly manufactured one. Whatever, if it's carbonated just fine going in (I mostly force carb, and bottle with a beer gun, so I knew it was fine going on) and you are losing carbonation, Chuck it.
