I'm assuming this is on the mini correct? If so.. Either your bottle isn't screwed in far enough, you've cross-thread it as you've screwed it in Or the o-ring needs to be replaced around the top of the reg.

If it's none of those, you may find you'll need to make a minor adjustment to the reg on the mini.
Get a pair of needle-nose pliers & "carefully" screw the depression pin in a little further.
If you're unsure what you're doing, here is the Tut that Invert did:

I had to do this to allow the bottle to screw in past the hole the first time I gassed mine.

Hope that helps.

It sounds like what happened to mine. I just got in touch with Action (it's where I bought it) and they had me ship it back to get fixed. I would email/phone the company you got it from, and explain the problem. They should be able to fix it for you.

Fair enough.
I've added a pic, is the reg leaking from the same spot as the one in the pic ??

If so, just get in touch with paintballshop.com.au (http://www.paintballshop.com.au/) and they should be able to give you a quote. It isn't a big deal, as mine leaked there, and the guys took good real good care of me.

I think it was an o-ring. It was awhile ago, and my memory isn't that great. :lol: It was covered under warranty, so I wasn't too concerned if you know what I mean. ;)

need to get it fixed, action will fix it up for you real quick, its best to get someone who knows what they are doing with regulators if you dont know what your are doing
