Default Difference between Weber Q and Q from as seen on TV?

I broke down and got the Weber Q. I love the thing! I've had waaaaaayyyy
too much steak these last couple of weeks. At 1/4 the cost of getting
one like it at the restaurant. I'm a happy person. I purchased the cart
that goes with it, an adapter hose, and a 20lb tank(it normally uses those
small Coleman tanks). The cart is great!

The tank and adapter hose is another story. For starters even when I first
got the thing, the grill never seemed to get as hot as with a Coleman tank.
It doesn't seem to be spitting out as much propane. Lately it seems to
randomly not want to start. I've checked the tank. It feels at least 1/4
full(I've only had it for about a month). The adapter appears to have a
tight fit.

I've turned on the gas slowly(apparently there's a valve that detects if
there's too much going out at once. It just spits out gas for a couple of
seconds and then shuts off.

The tank is part of one of those exchange programs (I think the company is
called PNE).

When I take off the adapter hose and replace it with a Coleman tank the
thing works like a charm.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

Thanks in advance,

J
