I use one and have for a while if your bio load is low you will have a hard time getting skim out of it just like any good skimmer it should produce more bubbles after feeding and also at night as the temp drops a bit the water molecule move to wards each other. Unlike anything else water is the only molecule that will condense and then expand when cooled. so I would say your skimmer is working properly you do know it is rated for a 250g tank.
What size of tank are your using it on? If it is a small tank I would recommend that you get some more stock before you condemn the skimmer, by the way it does take time for these skimmers to fully break-in mine worked very well after the 3rd month I had it and after my first maintenance cleaning. ever since then it has pulled realy nice black skim out of the tanks it has been in.

have you checked the opposite side of the airline nipple?....there is little venturi type thing with a bunch of small holes in it which can clog very easily....
