DAE buy a fancy airlock that just didn't work?

I got this glass bubbler airlock for my sauerkraut last month, cost me about $25. It kept getting clogged with kraut bits and would seal shut, which I didn't notice for a few days. I mean, I opened the jar and it had built up a ton of pressure, and the whole batch tasted off, so I had to toss it. Has anyone else had a bad time with a specific airlock type, and what do you use instead?

Oh man, that's the worst! I fell for a fancy three piece airlock once that did the same thing. I felt like such a clown for overthinking it. Now I just use the basic S shaped ones, or honestly, sometimes a loose lid is just fine. My need to buy the fancy gear really backfired that time.

Switched to the cheap S-locks and never looked back lol.
