I dont think the disc was defective. jdiddyws6 posted that he knew the guy and the bottle came out of a truck that was in a fire. The fire weakened the bottle to the point that the it couldn't hold more pressure than the disc could so the bottle just burst instead of the disc. This is also the reason to buy a bottle heater and not to use a torch. The constant heat cycling with the torch weakens the metal.
