There is only one size of thread for disposable cylinders, afaik, in the uk (and maybe the world) for COâ‚‚ which I think is 10mm x 1. I've not got a disposable reg to check it.
I'm no expert but it sounds like you may have some grit or dirt in the solenoid. Can you blast it clear with a compressed air line?
You shouldn't really open the valve on your reg all the way, just turn it enough to get 1-2 barr. The valve on the bottle only needs opening as far as to show...
You can increase the accuracy of your test kit by using a bigger sample. If you use 20ml instead of the normal 5ml then you need to add 4 drops to get 1dkh instead of 1 drop. This would mean you can measure in 0.25dkh steps. You can go even further with it if you want and use a 40ml sample for...
Certain champagne yeasts are the best to use as they have the highest tolerance to alcohol of them all, something like 15-16% or more and so people use it to restart stuck ferments. A general wine makers yeast would be good though and would hit 14% which would be a good lump above bakers yeast I...
Personally I prefer 2 dial regs like this...

You should be able to buy disposable bottles of co2 for that at around £13 tops for a 390g size from a welding suppliers.
A reg with a standard thread, so you can put it on refillable bottles...
I sent bubbles straight into my 2128 for a while but got a build up after a while. I have added a ceramic diffuser now which sit immediately underneath the intake and it seems to be working fine now.
As far as I know the ones that Lunapet (aquarianeversand) sell are exactly the same as the D&D ones. They look it if you compare to the DD one on AE anyway. So I'd have to say everything will fit. You should be able to fit your solenoid 'inline' anyway if it doesn't.
I'll vouch for the Lunapet one, thats the set I have and I can't complain at all. Well actually thats a lie as the non return valve didn't work but that's what... a quids worth? I got my whole set for around £90 but that was well over a year ago now.
Here's just the reg...
Even if you were all it should have done was press down evenly. To crack it like you describe it would have to have been forced outward which means it didn't really fit well in the first place.
Just googling I found this place... http://www.prismplastics.co.uk/spacers.htm who do a range of washers of different sizes. There is a list. Measure yours and see if they have the same size.
They are (or should be) exactly the same thing with the same thread sizes on both items. Standard CO2 thread for refillable bottles is .860 in x 1/14 in. W.. The only info I can find for disposables is from JBL that says the bottle thread is 10x1 mm. I guess they are a standard thread size like...
Should be ok if you put it inline but I can't guarantee it'll fit a reg, you'll have to ask.
Would just getting one of these be best?
You may be able to win a cheap solenoid off them too here. They are quiet and cool when operating.
You can use tubing to join them bits but you don't have to. The whole lot can be screwed together if you place the solenoid after the needle valve.
Here is the link to instructions for fitting. It's in German but the pics explain it well enough.

European and British refillable cylinders all have threads of 0.860 inches OD and 14 threads per inch. That's very near 22mm.
Disposables are smaller although I don't know what size exactly.
