CO2 regulator help

I have a CO2 regulator that is able to puncture the top of the CO2 tank but there is no CO2 coming out into the tank. I know it has pressure because the gauge went up and I unscrewed the CO2 tank just a bit to see if it actually punctured the tank and it started to leak a bit at the tank but it still wont come out into the tank. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do.

Any way you could snap a photo of the regulator and post it? If the gauge went up then we know the tank has pressure .

Trouble shoot- the OPEN/CLOSE valve. Twist it on and off. Perhaps disconnect the hose then turn the valve on and see if anything is coming out. This will trouble shoot the valve. While the line is disconnected, turn on the valve. If you have gas then move on down the line. If no gas comes out (hissing noise) then either the valve is faulty or something is plugged (debris in the regulator) .

If gas IS coming out check the check valve. Make sure it is installed correctly.

Any binding or kinks in the CO2 hose feeding into the tank?

What type of defuser are you using?

thank you I did all that found out that the value is faulty so need to go out and get a new one

Darn! Was hoping it would have been a quick painless fix.
