nitrous bottles
I was getting ready to go to Lebanon Valley tomorrow and I filled my bottles.When I disconnected each,I found them both leaking out the an fitting.Am I doing this wrong or am is there a problem with the valve?I fill each one on a postal scale,opening the small bottle first and then the large 20lber and reverse when filled.The 1lb bottles were in the freezer all night and the large was just air temp.Any tips?

The valves on the small bottles are cheap and do not last very long, I've had to replace several. Local paint ball supply shops can fix you up quickly if you're in a hurry.

I just took one apart and found the valve disc cracked.It looks like they are very temperment to overtightening,not much of a seat.

Mine leaked once, then it was okay..........
dont know what caused it, its fine now.........., its only for the airshifter, so it only gets filled like 4 or 5 times a year..........

I just got the new valves today and they don't fit.How many different sizes are there? the stem that threads into the bottle was bigger than my old ones.These are for 1 lb'ers.
