Skout Epoch leaking from regulator when trying to fill

Any thoughts out there as to why my Epoch leaks from regulator when trying to fill? I’ve had a call into Skout Tech Support for days but nothing yet.

Remembered I had a spare HP reg and it happened to be the newer type. Installed that and so far so good. Back to SD’s of 1.4

If it's leaking when shut off at the bottle it should just be an oring, I've replaced mine a couple time on the old style shutoff, I threaded in a tiny metric screw into the valve for leverage to turn on/off. I was told the old style valve was only replaced because orings were being blown out from turning it on to quick. A tiny fraction of an oring can only take so much pressure, 4k takes a piece out quick. Slow and easy has been working.

I didnt know you could get Into the new air valves, but then again I didnt really look Ill have to check It out . Thanks .

If it was leaking from the LP regulator , first make sure you have not backed it out too much in order to achieve a higher psi setting (been there).
Assuming that was not the case , there is a small plastic part called the reg seat, it get's shredded and you need to change it, it's part number VRG 106 on the attached pdf's.The above is for the Evo but i am sure it's the same on the Epoch, if you replace the part i am sure your reg will be as good as new.
