Gaskets wear out even just sitting there. Not sure how you only replaced it once.

Maybe because of daily use? Things just sitting there can dry out faster then when in use.

I had an aluminum Express when living with my EX. It had a white gasket that seemed to wear out all the time. We both used it daily and we would replace it 2 or 3 times a year. When I moved out I bought a stainless steel Venus, it came with a semi-transparent gasket. I have not had to replace it the entire time I have owned it. Daily use for almost six years. Don't know what the difference is in materials is, I believe both state silicone gaskets.

The white gaskets are rubber and will wear out pretty quick.

The clear ones are silicone and last ages.
