Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Filling a Marui hi-capa with propane : lotsa waste or is it me?

I recently acquired a Marui hi-capa 5.1 with a few mags (thanks everyone for your advices on this).

While filling my first mag I realized that a whole lot of propane flows outside the mag from the bottle (not a leak). the reason seems to be that there is no seal created between the propane adaptor and the mag valve (I don't get this problem with my Glock. There is a small o-ring at the bottom of the valve where the propane adaptor pushes which creates a seal).

Is that normal? Is there anything to avoid this? Should I just buy o-rings or am I doing something wrong?
