Okay, here's the deal: I just traded my impy for a FragMag w/ lvl 10 and X-valve. I bought a Full Freak kit, CP on/off, and CP Drop. Now the problem, I come home, screw the tank into the on/off, but my dumbass bought only one macro at the proshop and forgot my tank so I only had about 100 PSI left in my Pure Energy (steel) tank. When I screw it in, all of the air rushes out of the On/off. I don't know if this is because I ran the macro straight from the on/off to the valve, or because I only had 1000 PSI.

Here is a picture of the way I had it set up.

Btw, I lost my Allen key for the On/Off set screw, so I screwed it in as much as possible with a wrench. Could this have something to do with it?

your macroline to valve setup should be fine, but one of your fittings may be leaking. Teflon them with 2 layers and try again. Try getting some 90* fittings for macroline too.

Heres my tac to show you the teflon on the fittings:

Is the air rushing out of the Macro fitting, or out in the direction of the tank from the on/off? Or away from the tank? It looks like the bends in the Macro may be pretty severe by the fittings, is it the Macro that is leaking?

Yeah, you should really look into some 90* fittings instead of those straight ones.

Yea, I just used what I had lying around for fittings, didn't think about buying 90* at the shop. I'm probably going to get a fill and 90* fittings today.
