This probably sounds really stupid but when i put pressure in, tons of air vents out the side of the valve or adjust the velocity with air still inside it releases more air, any suggestions?

If its leaking from the small hole there are only 2 o-rings that can cause this they are the one on the reg pin pull it out u will see 2 orings separated by a split plastic washer somtimes the washer colapses and causes them to leak but first change them and it will proberly stop leaking. thats the responce i got when the same thing happend to me. ;)

Sounds like the back half of the valve is not tight. When you adjust tthe velocity it makes it worse. Take the valve off and make sure the back half is tight. See if that helps.

My brand new xvalved mag just did the same thing about 5 minutes ago... It is leaking out of the hole closest to the body on the left size of the valve.

I AM low on air, could that be the problem for some reason?

If you have less than 800 left in your tank then it won't even gas up.
