in front you will want a vert reg, to help you tuck in. Try the eclipse FRM

either an Eclipse or VFF. I like the VFF Better since it adds performance as well.

yes, but with the vff, he has to spend the (is it $150??) money to get the reg with those threads for fitting into the vff, the FRM makes the bottom reg work as a froegrip

Yah i HAD to get a verti Max Flo cause my old one had a serious prob with air flow...that part that like...pulgs into the air thingy...leaked( yah try and make sense out of THAT!) so i got a vertical max flow and its godly...espacially cause im a front man.

no no not the macro line fittings...you know that thing that goes into air thingy(where you put your tank in) and if you unscrew the fitting off and you can disconnect the reg yah it was leaking through there and i put teflon tape and an oring and all kinds of stuff...i mean i could get that working id sell it off in a heart beat and get an upgrade on my gun

This might help.

Or just get an on/off valve pin on your tank


#9 How do I use a compressed air or CO2 tank without an ON/Off?

The problem was that the old manifold had a long pin in it. The pin would open the pin valve in the HPA tank before the tank was sealed to the manifold. The results was a major leak of air.

A secondary problem was that if the air entered the gun too quickly there was the potential to "shock" the solenoid. That is why in step #2 you turn down the operating pressure

This is referred to as “The O-Ring Trick”.

Place an extra o-ring in the ASA before screwing in your HPA or CO2 tank.
Lower the output pressure of the Max-Flow by unscrewing the velocity cap about 5 turns. This should lower the output pressure on the Max-Flow to under 100psi.
Screw in your tank. This does not have to be done slowly. You will actually have greater success if you screw the tank in quickly.
While firing, slowly increase the output pressure on the Max-Flow.
The o-ring trick is not always needed. An Impulse with a vertical max-flow will have a standard ASA under the grip frame. This ASA will seal the tank before the pin in the ASA engages the pin valve on the tank. Smart Parts also redesigned the manifold, so on newer Impulses with a bottom mount Max-Flow your tank will also seal properly to the manifold.

Even if your tank seals to the manifold or ASA you should still turn down the operating pressure before screwing in your tank to avoid "shocking" the solenoid.

The leak has nothing to do with that ;) it screws in just fine..takes like 5 millisecs..then starts leakin in the part where the air is transferred into the regulater

but thanx for the suggestion:)

yeah, I still want it. I think I know what youre talking about, and plan to use it with an FRM anyway, so that part would be replaced.
