We had a number of extra valves that we used to start the line that we just used in a pinch to close off the ends.  We use Robert Marvels P6 flat tube to drip line valves.

 

This year we are using AquaTraxx and are hoping it works better.

We have had a similar experience to Frank.  We have used T-tape and Jain/Chapin in the past and used either the fold method or used screw on (tape lock) end caps.  This year we also got Bowsmith from Robert Marvel and the starter (barb x tape-loc) as well as the end caps (tape lock or fold and slip method) both leak a lot, not the amount of one emmiter - but more like 10 times that.  We're trying to figure out how to resolve the problem at least for this year with the drip tape we have.  Frank - what kind of valve did you put on?  anyone else have ideas on how to help fix this problem?
