Super Lube sucks

MaxPower - I had to read that twice just to make sure I read it right...

My Iwata trigger sticks down all the time. I lubricate with water based lube you get at the pharmacy. Modeling is really only an excuse to keep this and paper towel in the same area as my computer without anybody getting suspicious. :p

The oring in the valve has taken to being sticky. Part of my cleaning regimen is to apply lube to the needle where it passes through the needle bearing and to apply lube to the trigger plunger so the valve works smoothly. But the lube literally dries up and leaves the trigger super sticky, to the point that it won't return when depressed. The needle still move smoothly.
It's a trivial problem to be sure but seeing as how the super lube was supposed to be intended for this exact use I'm disappointed that it don't work much better. I'm looking for alternatives.

I've been using Iwata's Super Lube for a while now and I'm fed up wtih it. After a couple of days my trigger sticks because the stuff dries out. What do you use to needle and trigger lube?

Huh?

How are you using the lube?

I used it years ago when I did T-shirt airbrushing and the trigger never stuck.

Now I use Badger Needle Juice.

I just use glycerine that I bought at the pharmacy.
