Heat + Solenoid = Bad?
When you say already, how much use are you talking about? Do you keep nitrous in your lines even when you're not using the N2O? Seals are a wear item and eventually have to be replaced. Performance wise you the closer the solenoid is to the jet the better.

NX said it was probably a bad seal from the manufacturer. So heat was probably not the issue, but made me wonder. My solenoids get really hot. So I was thinking about relocating them to the firewall and off the engine.
At night I do purge the lines.
