Ugh, I feel like a total noob asking this question, but here it goes. First, a little history, last week I was at the field and there was a leak from my hyper 2 reg on my beloved dmc. It turns out I just needed to screw it in more! Worked for the rest of the day with no problems. Aired it up today and it's leaking again, same general area. I complete unskrewed it, then skrewed it back in again, but it doesn't seem to catch? I've had this prob before, always assumed it just wasn't supposed to stop, is the reg stripped? Biggest thing now is that the leak seems to be coming from the part of the hose that connects with the reg, what can I do to tighten it? Sorry for my lack of knowledge, only had the marker for 2 months and haven't had time to play much, I'm assuming it's an easy fix, so lmk what I need to do, thanks.

Alright, so I realize I'm being kinda vaugue, the leak appears to be coming from between a small metal ring between the elbow the attaches the reg to the hose, and the hose itself. Normally this should be snug up against the elbow, but it isn't, and you can tell when it's under pressure that it is being pushed away from the elbow. Not sure why this is happening, in guessing it's not tight or the reg is somehow no skrewed I right. Thanks in advance for all answers.

for the macro connection: I just air it up and play with it until it stops leaking. IDK what the guys around here do, but I've never had real luck with macro.

edit - the collar should be pushed away from the rest of the elbow, that's how it locks onto the macro. push your macro in farther and see if that helps.

Thanks for the help, I took out the macro and then put it back in again, for some reason this helped the leak, then after dry firing it a bit the leak went to zero, thanks again.

Might've been some dirt in the fitting.
