Question about Pressurized CO2

[WyldFya]

So I recently upgraded to pressurized co2, tonight when the timer shut the solenoid off, pressure built up, and I ended up with a leak at the thread connection between reg and bottle. Was this just due to the nut not being tightened down enough?

I think so. Some soapy water will help you to locate leaks.

Make sure you also use CO2-impermeable tubing, that's an easy one to forget.

Yeah, I got it figured out. The nut wasn't on tight enough. It was pretty obvious where the leak was too.... All of a sudden it was just a HUGE rush of CO2 coming out. When I got close enough I could feel the co2 gushing out all around the nut.
