Only thread I could find on this was here so I'm posting here for a bit more visibility...

Having maaaaddd hassle with one of these this weekend. Got some threaded bulbs alright but every time I connect it to the keg the keg is leaking co2 out through the brass part that screws on the charger side.

Is the co2 pressure in the keg too high that it's not equalising with the bulb? Should I vent the keg a bit before trying again? I don't seem to be able the tighten the brass part on to the charger, it just spins.

I got a slight spurt of co2 when I was installing the cartridge I would der could the seals on the brass part have ruptured??
