using a diablo sabotage and scrwed the adpater on then the co2 cyinlder and now its all fastened tight but co2 is leaking from the two holes of the adapter this can't be a normal thing can it? as I can't really keep it indoor while its spraying it out I made sure the seal is tight but still leaking

just searched the forum and this has happened to two others.. seems like a general problem

Make sure you haven't damaged your o-ring that is situated a the end of your bottle, it should be either a milky white colour if it's urathane, or black if it's rubber. If you've damaged it co2 will vent through the 2 holes either side of where it screws in. you might want to leave your bottle off your marker as this makes it easier to store and reduces the risk of accidents if anyone should feel like mucking around with your marker while you'r out. Urathane rings generally last a lot longer then rubber ones but are a lot more expensive so if you find that you nip your o-rings a lot while attaching your bottles, i would go for rubber ones. hope this is of some help.

there is no o-ring on the airsource cylinder's .. but I solved the problem by using vaseline around the in of the cylinder which made a nice seal
