Are you using tap water or distilled?

Most likely hard water deposits. Soak the nozzle in full strength vinegar. I bet it will clear it up. If this is the problem, just do the same soak periodically.

Using distilled or RO water will keep this from happening. I would agree why it is clogged and ho w to fix with vinegar.

hey guys i have tried with an unclogging liquid, vinegar and soaked it on very hot water and still nothing :S could it be that my pump is not pumping strong enough ? this things is like brand new -.-" and im going on vacation in a week for 10 days :S

Try running the pump without the nozzle hooked up and see if you can flush water out of the tube.

yeap i did that it works fine doesnt seem like it comes out with a lot of pressure but when i put the nozzle it will stop coming out :S and when i take of the nozzle i can feel the air pressure

It won't with the nozzle off. Try contacting Marty

I let my mistking run dry for maybe 2 sessions by mistake once, and after I refilled the reservoir it appeared to be clogged as it wasn't spraying. All I had to do to get it to work was to take all the nozzle pieces apart and then put them back together again.

found it...bizarre that I missed it in the first place.

if you run dry and the pump is full of air, sometimes best thing to do is to unplug the tubing at the nozzle and let the pump run some water. When the water comes out in a steady steam, just plug the tubing back into the nozzle.

Hey how are you?!, the best and cheapest way im my opinion is to purchase a R/O unit, im a salt water freak so i have a 5 stage that i used already and was very handy.
