Do you let the lecithin dissolve completely in the water before mixing?  I 
usually let mine set for about 5-6 hours and then whir it in the blender.  I 
also make sure that the AA is thoroughly dissolved.  I don't use any baking 
soda in mine.

  The lecithin mixture I'm using is exactly as instructed...3 tablespoons in 
8oz of distilled water, plus 1 tablespoon of AA and half a tablespoon of baking 
soda in 4oz dw. For the larger, professional machine I had to double everything 
because of the larger tank capacity. I've only ever used James Products though. 
I've now ordered the large Harbor Freight type. I only thought it must be the 
lecithin because it's not water. Is there some sort of feed back to the 
transducer? Does it have to work too hard producing the effect in a thicker 
solution? I can't think what else it could be. Anyway, I'll try the new one and 
see how that goes.
  Thanks
