Tippman Owner New To The ION

Cpt. Morgan · 03-04-2006, 09:53 PM

Well, I personally do not own an Ion but one of my friends does. We were playing paintball a few days back and he was less consistent then me. I'm using a marker with no regs but he is using a 68/4500 tank on a max flow reg but yet he was less consistent then me. I may be a Tippy owner but how the hell is he less consistent then me. He asked me to fix the problem and said he would pay 20$. What is wrong with his pressure? He should be very consistent. I know how to change the pressure on the stock reg but how on the max flow reg.

hhmmm, is his ion new? maybe he just needs to break in the regulator

its used, the reg should be broken in. His velocity was jumping from about 215 to about 231... I was doing between 218 and 226... now tell me... does that not seem odd considering the type of air sources our markers are using. Unregulated CO2 more consistent then highly regulated HPA... I don't think so. What could be wrong?

hhmmm, i'm not quite sure.... tell him to clean out the regs and lube the gun.... that should help

Lube the reg, and put in some new batteries.

The max-flo might be starving the normal reg with a really low pressure.

Yeh, is it the maxflo reg as in the tank reg, or the reg on the gun.
