nx bottle warmer solenoid hey guys i just finished putting my nitrous kit back on my car and also hooked up a nx bottle warmer. i haven't had the nitrous on my car for about a month now because the cars been at the shop. well anyways when everything was hooked up, i tried the car out and everything went fine. i mean the nitrous was turned on right where i set the window switch at, and the bottle warmer was doing it's job. so after trying it out, i went out to go and play with some cars. also, i remember when i was hooking up the nx bottle warmer that the solenoid for the bottle warmer has this very small hole in it. well the problem is that when i opened the nitrous bottle, n2o started shooting out that little hole from the bottle warmer. dude, i freaked out when i saw that! 
so i pulled the car over and turned the n2o off. i thought i forgot to tighten the nitrous hose from the bottle, but it was coming from the solenoid. my question is that why do u guys think this happened. i mean, is the solenoid still good? was the wiring from the bottle warmer hooked up right? (its kind of hard to remember what goes where when u don't have the instructions for nx bottle warmer kit) remember that the bottle warmer was heating up the bottle, so i really don't think it could be the wiring. i could be wrong though.
right now i'm just running the n2o hose straight to the bottle, so nothings in the way. if u guys have any ideas or suggestions it would be appreciated.

When you say Noid I think you are talking aout the pressure transducer, it mounts to the front on the bottle fitting using a small manifold. There may be a hole directly on the other side of the trasducer, it is another 1/8th NPT port it needs to be plugged, it should have come with a plug.
Here is a picture of the part I am speaking of

but there's only one little hole on it and the kit didn't come with any sort of plug. if anything a guy asked if i could plug it up using some sort of epoxy. do u think this would be a smart and safe way to do it? if not, what would u recommend? thanks

If the transducer little hole is leaking the diaghram in the unit has gone bad. Itmay still be under warranty. Call in and talk to josh for a rga.
