That looks like the suction cup from the JPL Loop Ups which I have, but can’t suck the caps off for the life of me. Did you do anything else or did you just use the suction cup? @Exmime ---

I just used the JPL suction cup. It was a little cooler as my room is around 67F and I pulled straight up not from the sides. ---

I have nothing of value to add to this thread currently, but I still feel inclined to comment on how nice these look capless lol. The 50g weight is also a lot more appealing… I feel like I need one… ---

Finally got it to work. At first the suction cup wasn’t sucking enough so I added a gloss sticker on top. This gave it a better surface to suck to and came right off. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/7/f/27f20e7cb6ec7fb71ccb40fd1d91f91f4ccd386e.jpeg) ---

what kind of suction cup are you guys using? Mine keeps popping off even with a glossy tape surface (stuck much better than the normal surface) ---

Maybe try putting it in the fridge to cool it down for a few minutes. It was easier when it was colder, and pull up from the top not from the sides. Using the Japan Looping suction cup ---

> [@TheThrowingGnome](#): > > How do you like the play without caps? Kind of in-between a Weekender and a Day Tripper but with a blast. It helps with the kick back on moons and the Duncan Small pad has a different grip so I’m using less angle as well. Smooth and stable though 👌, oh yeah and Talon Starts ---
