First problem is:
Long story short, I have 2 HPA bottles. Both are without regulators.
I made a trade and got a MaxFlo (the big beast) that was just comletely rebuilt by SP.
I have a GuerillaAir F U K U reg - FOUND HERE (http://guerrillaair.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=128) - on the way and should be here in a few days.
The tanks are:
114/45 and 88/45
The MaxFlo is set up for remote coil and the FUKU is a normal "screw-in-the-ASA" model.
I do not have in-field access to SCBA and have to get my air before my renegade games. To refill is an hour away in one direction.
The 'problem' I'm having is...which bottle do I put what reg on? Either reg will go an either bottle, I'm just having a Hell of a time deciding.
The 114 is definately the bigger of the two tanks, which will yield more shots available "on-gun"...but if I put the Flo on the marker, it's staying there because it mounts with a rail. I won't be able to change bottles in-field. Putting the MaxFlo on one marker (my Ion) is going to dedicate that tank/reg set up to that marker...
...but putting the 88 on the marker would definately lighten it up but I'll have less shots "on-gun" and need to change/fill it sooner than the 114.
I already have a coiled remote for the Maxflo with the remote fitting in an ASA plug/adapter.
Should I put the FUKU on the 88/45, so I can remove it in-field and the MaxFlo on the 114 on my back with the remote attached? All I'd have to do is unscrew the 88 and throw int he asa plug w/ fitting into the Ion's on/off and go.
Help me decide. Thanks.
2nd problem is:
I screwed the MaxFlo into the 88 and it went in easy as pie...almost too easy. There was almost no resistance when it "seated" on the bottle...like the ORing/seal isn't contacting the bottle neck properly. The reg is definately tight but you'd think there would be some resistance with the ORing/bottle neck to know it's sealed.
Should I use Dow55 to swell the seal that meets the bottle neck?
Thanks again.
