Think about the flow of the design. With this setup you will always get better flow from the front rather than the rear. That it why people use evenly split manifolds. There is an alan key on the side of the regulator that can adjust the output.

Try boosting the pressure and maybe yours will work. I know it's hard when you keep buying the same thing. Just I wish the one who sold you the others would of under stood that the supply line must be a least twice as big as the outputs for this idea to work properly.Just think of a spray bar out let for a canister filter, the idea wouldn't work if the out flow holes where the size of the tube. But if you blast it with a lot of pressure you may be able to over come this problem, of yo can go to the hardware store and buy 1/8 brass pipe fittings and make a rear feed line. But that is a lot of fitting and a royal pain, I'd probably just up the out flow pressure.

My only point is that if the feed line is twice the size of the output you will have better flow to all points. Imagine the spray bar of a canister filter, if the holes where all the size of the tube you would have the same problem the first one or so would have flow and the others would not. Orlando I'm sure that you have had more experience than I ever will with co2 manifolds, it's you job. I just wanted to explain the difference between a bunch of fittings and a manifold. But you are the expert so I'll leave it there, may be there's something I'm missing.
