got myself a co2 refill last week and have use it a few times, being lazy once i have put a squirt into the barrel i undo it a few turns but leave it on the barrel loose, just went to use it and it empty?? would it be that its been stored vertical or is it faulty?
i dont think the valve was in conact with the barrel at all....

Hi Craggy.

I use the S20 cylinder ( a smaller version of the S30) and I was told by the HBS owner just to run it under a hot tap for a few seconds after using it, as they can tend to leak out occasionally.
