Maybe the pressurised devices just lose pressure with use - not enough to be completely useless, but enough for no more jet.

As long as the stored gas is in liquid form, the pressure will be sufficient, and when there’s some kind of window to peer into the container, that’s easy to confirm.

The gas stays liquid over a wide range of pressures - you wouldnt see any difference visually. On the higher pressure side, the gas comes out at higher pressure and therefore more mass is ejected per unit time. At lower pressure the gas comes out, sure, but perhaps not fast enough to give that jet effect.
