1. Are you sure it was completely full?

2. Was it ridiculously cold?

3. Could you hear any leaks?

oh forgot to add,  the first time i recieved the tank, it didnt have an o ring on it.

And its really hard to put it on without the co2 leaking out. 

Any suggestions?

go buy some orings. put them on, fill the tank because it probably wasnt full and then try it.

i got an o ring on it.  But the guys at the store asked me if i wanted to fill it when i bought it
and i said yes and filled it

300 shots later and i guess the leaks got the best of it

honestly i have heard of this happening and the store didnt really fill it all the way.  it sucks but it happens.  i would say try again and also the leaks very well could have gotten the best of it since it would have been constantly leaking.
