Basically I had a response trigger and tried to switch over to a e trigger for my A5. However when i took my first shot with the e trigger the whole co2 tank emptied out the power tube hole on the right side of the gun. I thought maybe something broke but to make sure i switched back to the response trigger and the gun worked perfectly fine. I have attempted the e trigger several times but each time i get the same result. Does anyone have any ideas?

There should be a plug that came with the RT kit initially to screw into the power-tube tap once you remove the RT kit. If you've lost it, or can't find it, a similarly threaded small machine screw from the hardware store will work. That only takes care of the exhausting issue, if you're experiencing an issue with the hammer remaining forward on the valve long enough to dump a whole tank, then you have an issue with how your e-grip has been installed, not sure what would force the hammer forward like that though.
