Also, to tell if your tank is full or empty is usually a matter of weight and "movement" when gently rocking the tank it should feel like it's full of lightweight sand or semi fluid, it's hard to explain. A good indicator is also weight, as tanks are measured by weight it's always a good idea (if you have the option) to weight your tank when first purchased and record the weight. That way you can then use that starting weight and once you have subtracted roughtly the indicated weight of the fluid (usually 1 or 2 pounds for common tanks) then you know you are empty and can dispose of the tank.
Hope this helps.

No worries. I've been filling correctly as I've been using it for weeks with no issues. I would normally assume that it'd just be empty, but the fact that I literally have not filled more than 20 magazines full and that air still comes out of it boggles my mind how it's already empty.
I have shaken the tank and it does seem like there isn't that "sand" feeling to it any more. I have also pressed on the nozzle base on the adapter with a screwdriver and the air that comes out is very low in pressure (not much stronger than me blowing out of my mouth).
Maybe I just picked up the wrong tank and it was close to empty? :P
