You could buy a new ASA (air source adapter). That used to be a problem with mine before. I just uncrewed the tank and put it back on and then it engaged like it should. But getting an on/off ASA would be a good idea.

Haha. Everyone makes mistakes, it's alright. Atleast you learned something from experience.

 Of course it comes empty! Takes a lot of special permits to ship pressure cylinders that contain gasses (or gas in liquid form).
