Has anyone ever used a solenoid with one of the small disposable CO2 sets?
I have a solenoid that I bought off ebay a while back (Lunapet) but twice when I've tried it with my TMC 95g set it seemed to work fine on testing and setting up only for me to return after work to an empty bottle.
When I've looked at the tube size / output hole on the TMC reg its smaller than the hole / tube size on the solenoid. So I've assumed it was that rather than a faulty solenoid. Anyone know whether this assumption is likely?
I gave up a long time ago and have just had it in a drawer but I now have a reg for an FE and I would like it timed so I'm thinking of hooking it up - the tube / hole size on the reg is the same as on the solenoid, however I do not want to empty a whole FE in one go!
Another thought is to try and cut out the tubing between reg and the solenoid, but I can't see how to do this unless there is something you can buy? I guess for the sake of £20 I should just buy a new solenoid but I'm very impatient and would like to get this up & running!
Thanks in advance for your thoughts / input.
