I need to replace the Tickler on my Pneumag. I bought a Crossfire tank recently, and it worked great on my Mag - better recharge so I could really go to town on the trigger - but that was when it was filled to ~1300psi from my scuba tank. I got it filled before playing last weekend, aired up my Mag, and it wouldn't fire. It's like the output pressure went up just enough that the Tickler couldn't handle it.
I've had this problem with my other tanks as well, when they are fully filled. It is definitely the Lpr - it just basically locks up. You can hear it hissing when I fire, but it won't trip the 3-way. This is with it turned up all the way. (Actually, it never works unless it's turned up nearly all the way - yet the ULT barely requires any effort to trip - it's just that the Tickler only works on the "full pressure" setting.
So anyway, what should I look for in a real Lpr? (I will not try another Tickler - mine works fine when the pressures are lower - but as we know with Mags, you don't want to go on the field with a half-filled tank.)
I have an AKA SCM III on my E-cocker, which is an amazing Lpr for that application, but I haven't been able to find out if it can handle full tank output. Nobody seems to know, lol.
I've also looked into the Palmer's Micro Rock. Can they handle a full tank output? I've also entertained the idea of just using a full-on inline reg turned down to 40psi - but I'd rather not spend quite that much.
