I just used up my first tank of nitrogen, and it didn't make it through one keg.
It is a 22 Cu. Ft tank which is in between a 5 and 10lb Co2 tank in size.

Is this normal or should I be looking for leaks once it's refilled.
 
You carb'd with CO2 and dispensed with the beergas/nitrogen right?

if so, yeah you have a leak. you can carb and dispense around 8 kegs with 5lbs of CO2. If you only dispensed 1 keg with 5lbs of nitro, there's a leak for sure.
