Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - TM hi-capa 5.1 Mag issue

Hey I just received 2 brand new TM brand Hi-capa 5.1 Magazines for my pistol,
and I am having some trouble getting them to fill completely.

What is happening is when I compress the canister against the magazine, gas sprays everywhere and only capturing a bit in the magazine itself. I than put the magazine into my pistol (WE Hi-capa 5.1 Gov't Model) and the amount of gas it captured is not enough to cycle the gun/slide fully.

I have made sure that I am holding them upside down and that the valve and nozzle are meeting correctly.

Magazine: Tokyo Marui 5.1 Hi-capa magazine
Gas: FIREPOWER High Powered Green Gas

Because the mags are brandnew is there anything I need to do to them to fill the first time? Do I need to adjust the valve? I dont want to start messing around with it until I have some idea as to what the issue is.

Any help and/or input is appreciated.
