Co2 Technical problem..AGAIN. This is torture...Need some help

I'd say this will solve your problem about the 20# cylinder only lasting a few months too....a slow leak will kill your cyilnder, but I bet it'll last 8 montsh easy now.
Hey guys, how have you all been? Unfortunately I am having yet ANOTHER problem..this time, I have a video for all of us(not yet uploaded, taking forever..)!
Okay I'll tell you guys what's up first. The 4 port manifold is working properly, that's good, but one thing's for sure... the two last manifolds are not creating enough pressure(I could tell) when the first two manifolds are working perfectly and it's pressure is so great that every bubble counted to the diffuser, but when you are talking about the third and fourth manifold, it's working on the bubbles, but it's not creating enough pressure.....when I know there is no leaks 100% unless you can prove me wrong haha. I am guessing right now that I may just have put on too much teflon tape on those folds/Needle valves, bad bubble counter, brass check valve? or have the needle valves gone bad? Should I take the last two folds apart and the needle valves and retape with teflon tape? Should I replace the NV's? Bubble counters?
Give me 7 hours later and I'll have the video uploaded by tomorrow.

lol what happens when you turn off the co2 for the 2 thats working fine? if you turn it off and they other start working you have low psi coming out.
I second what MG said....turn off co2 to the first two and open up the last two. Sounds like you need to turn up the co2 pressure.
I'm betting on that you have teflon tape partially covering the output for the two valves or when you were using pipe dope before you got some in the valves.
Hum Very interesting..mg, jmhart! I'm in your debts. I have to try this in the afternoon. Thanks buddies. Appreciated.
I reapplied teflon tape, still no good. I upped the pressure to about 40-50 PSI (only guessing, since my low side gauge is blown, I have to guess pass 20 PSI) I turned off the first 2, the last two didn't work to create pressure. I think my 2 last folds are not good...?replacement? more money... u_u
