Mine works great.

I'm going to circle back and tell you to do a double wrap of quality tape (such as DT Swiss) in your rims keeping the valve hole area a single wrap. It makes a difference and can be as dramatic as ...no way in hell able to seal it with a regular pump to being able to seat it with a regular hand pump.

To do a double wrap while still keeping valve hole single wrap. Start the wrap about an inch on one side of the valve hole, go around twice and end it on the opposite side of the valve hole.
