When I go to fill it, the seal pops out , the bottle whips around and tries to decaptitate all the unamused onlookers and the guy from H-Pac looks at me with pity.... I tried thread locking in but the same thing happens. what am I doing wrong? I want to be able to remove the reg to fly to the States with it.
