Air America Black ice regulator

[yellownestle]

Ok, I just bought a black ice regulator on e-bay yesterday for $26,00 (retail $110,00) but i bought it at the last 8 minutes and I had no idea if it would fit on my Pro/Carbine.
Will it fit?

Can I use this regulator with co2 /w an expansion chamber?

Thanks

read the ultimate sticky at the top of the page, all your questions answers lie there.

you wil need to buy a v/a kit from www.countypaintball.com and you can run a x-chamber w/ that, you will need to get ur tank anti-siphond.

[yellownestle]

It said that it can take up to 800psi can I still use the regulator with co2 w/expansion chamber?

[Tippmann Owns]

theres no point in having an expansion chamber and a reg. expansion chambers are over rated POSs. just get an anti siphon, its better in every way

you can still run the x-chamber, but it will have to be positioned before the reg.

[yellownestle]

Well, I already bought the X-chamber, do I NEED to have an expansion chamber and an anti siphoned tank to run the regulator, isn't good enough with only the X-chamber /w regulator? (ACI 4 stage) good enough?

What happens if the regulator does get liquid co2 in it?
Why is it so bad?

If I need a VA for the xchamber and a VA for the reg, how does that work can i get 2 or what?

[E r y k]

ok tell me this. if the reg goes into the vertical adapter, where are you going to put the x-chamber?

[yellownestle]

thats my question what can i do? if i take off my trigger guard then can i have the x chamber directly where the co2 line is right now?

ok well i need to clean the car

[smegle5]

no theres not enough room, youll have to buy a vertical adapter kit and instal it.

[yellownestle]

But if I need a VA for the regulator and a VA for the x chamber, than i cant do it right?

whatever i think theyre will be enough space for the x chamber without the trigger guard if there is and I only need the VA for the regulator that means I can have both right?

sry bout all these questions

here, theres a pic of smegles pro-carb...

do you see how he has the expansion chamber like that? well theres only room for 1 thing unless you can do some custom jobs...

you wouldnt really need an x-chamber if you got a reg... anti-siphon and a reg itself will be plenty fine... but if you ran an x-chamber it would be like extra protection but not needed.

[smegle5]

ah man the memories, but yea exactly like that, but if you want it 15* forward like i have it ull need to do a lil sanding of the front shroud.

[yellownestle]

Well, thanks alot guys, for your help throughout the day!

Exactly. Compare the $3 you can get one for on ebay to a $40 x chamber kit. I bought an ant-siphon and installed it my self and using a 20 OZ CO2 I got about 1000-1500 rounds out of one tank and still had a little after I played.

installing an AS=asking to have your teeth knocked out by a C02 tank thats packin a bad attitute and the same forgiving qualities of a ballistic missle once that valva lets go.

im not saying that no one should do it, but you should have some experience and instruction from someone who knows what theyre doin

That and use a helluva lot of thread sealer. Have a pro install the a/s line it'll be much better and safer for you and everyone else involved.

Black Ice is one of those tempermental CO2 regs, it might work, it might blow all the seals. Definitely get A/S before you even think about trying it out though.
