Can you post a pic of the bottle with the valve? Should be a universal valve, just making sure

I am now experiencing the same problem!! I can't get anything into one of mine!
I have 2 of the Holtzman 2.5lb bottles. I also have a 10lb bottle that I fill the small bottles with.
My one bottle is empty (been filled at least 30 times!!) and it won't take a drop of nitrous from my big bottle. Big bottle is HOT, little bottle was outside in freezing temps. Nothing happens when they are attached!
I do the same with my second little bottle and WOOSH, it's full!!
So my big bottle is about 900 psi I bet, and not any of it will go into my one small bottle!

Same problem here too. Holtzman 2.5lb bottle wont take a charge.
What causes the valves to go bad? I only use this thing once a year for my mtn trip and now its poocehd.
What is the best way to store them in the off season? empty with valve open or closed?
Where can a guy get replacement valve. I need one & so does a buddy.
Thanks

I never could figure out why my bottle wouldn't fill. Took it all apart and I can blow through the valve very easily. Put it all back together and still, at best I can get a pound in. Ended up buying a new bottle. At least I'm back to having two working bottles again.

Probably so. The quickest this for this season was to simply get a new bottle. I'll try and figure out where to buy the replacement valve over the summer.

You can try giving us a call at my store,we can see what we can find? We have valves for 10# bottles, and carry a couple brands, but depending on what you have, I'm sure we can find you a valve, or whatever else you might need.
