When I puncture the CO2 cartridge, all of the gas is released immediately. How do I go about remedying this? I've tried 4 cartridges now.

Found two things that help. First, poor design all around. So, be sure to use plenty of oil on the tip of the cartridge. Hoppes No. 9 works well. Second, I drilled a hole in the tightening 'thingy' and put a key ring loop through it. Keeps it from collapsing and gives you more to hold onto when twisting it tight. Hope this helps.

well i know the answer... What happened is: 1. when you screw the cartridge the gas is slowly released until you tighten all the way( I highly don't think this is the case). ***2: The C02 seal of the gun is broken. This happened to me on my Winchester M14 by Daisy (excellent). There are little rings in the gun that hold the co2 in and when they're worn out, you put C02 in and it all just leaks out. i tried 10 cartdriges. its sucks but what i did was i contacted the maker ( for you, corpsman customer service and say that you need replacement sealent rings. Just ask for new ones, replace them, and then all the C02 stays in! well i know the answer...

I found that taking a very small FILE and making sure the puncture pin does not have any fine imperfections (mine had a sliver of metal making it not round and let the air out)

Same thing Happened to me. I even went so far as to send back and got another. But, this didn't resolve the issue because the second one did the same thing. Only way I have gotten them to work is puncture really fast. Its a poor design. Good luck

It will happen but keep twisting it in and it should eventually stop when you have the cartage in all the way, or are you doing this and having this issue?

1st of all, do it FAST! Twist fast until completely tight. Here ia a trick; vasoline all around the narrow top of the cartridge. This provvides a leak prevention and will also stop slow leaks once cartridge is set ;)

I didn't have this problem. I think you have to slam the cartridge in firmly and get it into the handle quickly. I hope this helps, but your problem may be with a defective pistol. Perhaps you should try the manufacturer.

after u start turning the cutting tip into the co2 do not stop i used only one cartridge

Return it. You have a cracked diaphragm. This seems to be a common problem with the Crossman air pistols and why I do not recommend them. For about ten dollars more you can upgrade to the Colt Defender air pistol which is a far more superior air pistol.

I am using it withe the edgstar, I have been having difficulties keeping my c02 working. I am not sure if it is from the Keg or my cartridge. My co2 has been leaking.

I have not had that experience yet...though I did have the plunger on the bottom of the cone that holds the permanent filter fail to stay open. The filter was full to the top with water and some of it went into the reservoir. Would it be possible to buy a can of compressed air and blow it out?

It is recommended to put a drop of oil (like Pellgunoil) on each CO2 cylinder outlet before loading it in the gun, but sooner or later the cartridge will lose pressure if you leave it indefinitely in the gun. Anyway, it is not recommended to leave any CO2 gun indefinitely with a gas cartridge inside because the gas seal may become damaged.

I had these same issues. However, after inspecting this lighter just after refilling it, I found the little round twist at the bottom of the tank. This regulates the pressure of the gas coming out. As you use the lighter, you need to adjust this knob for the correct pressure so that when tank is full, it doesn't have so much pressure that it won't light. Once I learned this, the lighter works perfectly. I've had no issues since using the regulator twist.

I am still using my first cartridge, so I cannot be of any help, but can you contact the seller to inquire about your problem? I see someone else had a problem, so I will be on alert when I change to the new one. Sorry I cannot be of more help. bummer...

Hi - you may have a slow leak, make sure the top is screwed down tight before you insert the cartridge. Also make sure insert the cartridge fast ( screw on the cap) otherwise there is not enough pressure to push all the water out. If none of it works - return the unitgood luck

Put a drop of oil on the tip of the cartridge. Insert into the gun(?) then tighten the screw until it just touches the cartridge (you will feel the resistance). Then turn the screw hard an don't stop turning until its fully seated. I get e little hiss momentarily but it seats just find. I've used probably 30 of my 100 cartridges with no problems. Good value and performs great in my CO2 BB pistol. Hope this helps...AO

Yes you do have to replace the co2 cartridge after each use. You must replace the grenade shell to but they do put off a really load bang. I love the sound these grenades have hope this helps.

Call Amazon and ask for a refund. I had huge problems with mine and asked to return it, but because of the gas it can't be returned.

The cartridge has to stay in the gun after it's installed. Otherwise, all of the gas will escape if it's removed. You can extend the useful life of the cartridge after it's installed in the gun by applying a light coating of pellet gun oil on the end and sides of the cartridge cap(the part that gets pierced) before installing it. This helps to prevent any CO2 from leaking out when the gun is not in use. In my experience, cartridges have lost very little CO2(if any at all) for as long as 6 months or more when I've done this on my Crosman BB pistol.

Did you changed filter cartridges? Make sure your water valve is open all the way!! If is a new install it takes a while to built pressure!! There a lot of air in the lines!! Disconnect tank from plastic hose and drain any water inside also disconnect all three filters and start precidure. Sometimes filter don't lock properly!!

The same thing happened to me. They are the wrong cartridges. The sensors are either incorrect or defective.

CO2 is odorless. The gas may be contaminated. You may want to change a different cartridge source.

It's not good for the seals to leave a cartridge in over extended periods of time. Put a drop of Crosman Pellgun oil on the tip of the CO2 cartridge before inserting it.

I haven't had such issues with mine. BTW, I ran into the same concern with the other customer about the CO 2 refill from the Paintball refill shops. I am not so sure whether or not it can be a health issue. If there is a concern with the Paintball Refill Shops, he/she should try to have his/her CO 2 refilled from the Wine and Beer Refill Stations, instead. They charge a lot more for the refill, though.

I have had know problems with the co2. Like all co2 guns when you first put it in there is that brief second of co2 leak but the faster you are at putting it in the better.
