These Expansion Chambers are unique in the way CO2 is distributed. It enters the bottom chamber and travels through a series of diamond-shaped cones where the liquid and air are mixed evenly, giving a more consistent flow of pressure to the valving of the marker. Unique to its design, the housing works in any position, even if inverted for remote set-up or crawling situations. If excess liquid is pulled through the system due to rapid firing rates, the diamond-shaped cones act as a centrifuge, slinging excess liquid outward to be recycled through the system.

great for stopping liquid, great feel as a foregrip (i still use it, even though i run nitro because i like the feel of it), rotating housing for optimum hose positioning
Weaknesses:
nothing really, kind of long?
Conclusion:
good if you run co2, cold temps or not. but get a anti-siphon too, for goodness sakes, or you're gonna make your front hand freeze.
i used it with regular co2 tank on my automag (notorious for dislike of liquid) never got liquid, no matter how fast i shot (even shooting it shooting it straight down to suck liquid into the x-chamber. i would get bolt stick though because of the cold co2 vapor. never ruined a o-ring like liquid does, though. my gun was so cold, my dye grip frame was freezing cold too
this expansion chamber is amazing! i bought one for my TL Plus and it performed oustanding. It's very gas efficient and the pressure stays stable. It incresed the accuracy and consistancy on my spyder
Weaknesses:
If you use it for a front grip it sometimes comes lose and ypu have to tighten it, but that is no big problem. Besides that it works just fine
Conclusion:
if you own a spyder or any marker that takes CO2 I recommend that you get one of these. i bought mine for 50 bucks at a local field and got every bit of my money back. I gave a ten because i think that this little accesory is very handy and out performed many expansion chambers that i have seen
It's awesome with my TL Plus. It greatly increaces CO2 efficiency, and keeps the gun from firing snow.
Weaknesses:
Nothing really. It only made my gun better and it's cheap.
Conclusion:
If your think about getting an expansion chamber, get this one. It works great, and for around $40 is pretty cheap. It is a must have for TL Plus owners because the so-called "mini-expansion chamber" it comes with is fake. I would reccommend it to everyone.

Review:
Does exactly what it is supposed to do; expand the liquid CO2 to the gaseous state and provide more bang for your tank size. It is also very reliable and durable in every aspect. Mine is a little scratched after 4 years of play but thats a sign that it has been working. One of the best out there. It maybe a little big for some people but Im not what you'd call small (offensive/defensive lineman). Works great for my Spyders.
Conclusion:
I can't really find anything that would make any other product better. If you have a Spyder and have snow (especially on the TL Plus) this will fix that in a snap. Excellent product.
This is a must have if you decided to get an X-Chamber and you are running on CO2. You save so much gas with this you can shoot @1800 shots with a 16oz. I love the feel of it. It is much better than the gas thru I had before.
Conclusion:
Get it if you want an x-chamber. Don't pay over $40 for it. I got it for $25 so I'm happy with it. I'm probably getting a Palmer Stabilizer to upgrade but this was a lot cheaper. If you don't have $90 for a CO2 Reg. get this, it will help with gas consumption.

I bought this expansion chamber thinking it would help me out a lot. When I got it I installed it and shot frosties for the first hundred shots. After that I would shoot frostie after every 10 shots. I thought I had it installed wrong so I took it off took apart everything put it all back together and it still didn't work. It didn't do anything for me except maybe a forgrip.
Conclusion:
Don't buy this. Save your money and get a Palmer Stablilizer
