Default Do I have the worst luck ever?

I just bought BRAND NEW solenoids from a Sponsor on and the nitrous one leaks. Even with just 300psi. This is ridiculous.

What happened the first time I tried nitrous:

"I bought a used kit. After getting it hooked up, I went to get it tuned. Purge solenoid stuck open, shot all under my hood and cracked the paint. Had them clean all the solenoids (Btw, the bottle and filter leaked also). Came back the next weekend, got it tuned, went fine except the window switch that came with it, was bad. And the best part, I went to try it out for the first time, and the nitrous solenoid STUCK OPEN. I had a small sheet of ice on my T/B. I'm lucky my motor didn't go."
