I asekd this question in the chat but didnt really get a definitive answer. When i first got my xvalve, it had two shims in and worked great, then it started elaking after about two cases. I figure dit was the oring breaking in, but the oring was not leaking, it was a shim leak. So i went down to 1 shim, worked fine for a few weeks, then leaked (not the oring). As of now, i have no shims in (kinda slow return on the lvl 10) and no leaks, but im worried what will happen in a few weeks if the trend continues? Anyone else have this happen to them?

It shouldn't leak again. If it does, you need to use the same o-ring in a smaller carrier. Or go to a new o-ring.
Also, make sure you have well above 1K psi in your tank. If the pressure isn't high enough, it can leak. -
It's a full tank, lol, I'm not that clueless.Comment

Try the first thing he suggested.

Sorry if you felt I was demeaning you in anyway.
It's just that I've figured out that with most all technical questions you have to think about some of the most simple things.Comment
