I just got my vapor bolt from shootpaint like 20 minutes ago. It doesnt feed very easily in my gun. does it need to be lubed? it doesnt seem like its lubricated at all. if it does, what lube do you suggest? would any lube do it, like gold cup, or do I need dow 33 and stuff like that?

No, don't use any petroleum based oils on a BKO or any electro gun, use lithium you can get it from home depot for like 3 dollars for a huge container. Or dow33 or do55 are great also.

Take the orings off it... When its really humid, mine swells, so I just take the orings off until it returns to normal.

I was reading up on greases, and people suggested litheum white, but others suggested litheum clear, I was wondering if theres a difference. also I only lube the orings, right? not the whole bolt

Well, you shouldn't have to oil it at all... Its delrin...
Just try taking the orings off first, see if that works.

no, its good to put a little bit of lube on the o-rings to make sure they seal well and dont dry out.

nothing with oil in it. Dow33, Dow55, Shocker lube, Slick Honey, they all work. I've heard lately that clear lithium is better but dont take my word for it, I've never used anything other than Shocker lube on my gun.
