Ah that sucks. Your check valve is probably messed up which is why the guy sold it in the first place. OTT sells them. That would be my guess. Maybe some other guys can chime in.

idk the guy i bought it from is a respectable poster here. he did say that everything was working when he sold it to me, said he took it off when it was time to ship it to me....
the check valve i read is only for one way free flow so basically the air cant get into the tube once its primed, but may freely leak the other way.
there is a selenoid that stops flow either way to prevent siphoning but i dont see why i would need that if others with the same kit do not have it.
yes others please chime in

meth line is tapped after the throttlebody. in a spacer
so a selenoid will deffinitely fix the issue or should i try my luck for 15 dollars less and buy a new check valve.... moreover do i need both?

The issue is where you have it tapped. Behind the TB will cause it to draw past the spring pressure. You need to get a stronger check valve or put the check valve right next to the tap with a real short piece of tubing.

I bought a better check valve from coolingmist.com when my Devil's Own was literally fell apart. The solenoid option worked for a short period of time, but also got screwed up. The coolingmist unit is one stout part and worked flawlessly for me.

What do you guys think of the quality of the Devils own kit? Like if OTTP sells it I assume its great quality. You say the check valves are crap? Can you purchase better ones from them or someone else? I am new to the whole meth injection and I am looking into purchasing the Devils own kit but I want to make sure Im not buying a shi* setup. I got way to much money into my car to add a piece of junk if thats what it is. Anyones input would be appreciated.

mine is now working fine. i love it. as for the check valve, i free'd it of debry and stretched the spring a bit to provide more holding power
