Bernzomatic oxygen bottles to oxygenate beer

I bought a cylinder of Bernzomatic Oxygen on the advice of my local homebrew store. They sold me an adapter kit (w/ air stone) and I got the cylinder from Lowes (tool section).

Firstly I tried attaching the adapter directly to the cylinder which caused massive leakage through the threads. Applying teflon tape (lots) helped but it was still leaking a bit. Exhausted the entire bottle for less than 5 minutes.

If anyone is using O2, how is it done?

I took the attachment back to the homebrew store and they replaced it and attached trhe replacement themselves. Since then I have used the bottle for several batches. I guess it was a defective gasket.
