CO2 attachment has slow leak

[power_slinky]

i gots a problem and i need some help. this has happened to me on a used piranha i bought and now it started happening on a green raptor i got. heres how it goes, i attach my Co2 tank directly to the jack under the barrel, i dont have a bottom line. the problem is that when i get it screwed in all the way it sounds like there is a small leak coming from around the connector. i dont know what causes it or how to fix it but if anybody has any suggestions i would appreciate it cuz i need to quit whatever im doin wrong so ill quit goin through guns so fast like this.

anything u can offer is greatly appreciated

Do you have an O-ring on the bottle? If so, check it and see if there is any damage. You can get O-Rings at Wal-Mart.

Get a bottle/tank oring.
If that does not fix it, take off the vertical adaptor (the peice u screw ur CO2 tank into, which u call a jack), and put some loctite or teflon tape on the threads, then screw it back in.
If you do not know what loctite or teflon tape are, basically loctite is removable glue that you can get in a small bottle at home depot, and you put it on the threads of the vertical adaptor, screw it back in, and let it dry for a few hours.
At home depot they should know what loctite is.
Teflon tape is the same as loctite, but comes in rolls, and is not liquid, as it is a non sticky tape.
As both are sold at home depot, i would reccomend loctite; its cheaper, and easier to use.
