What's the best way to drain a preset HPA tank?
What about the flatline tank? Is it recommended to just disconnect it and open the on off? Ever notice how cold it gets?

When i want to let all the air out of my raptor i just open it up a little and let it bleed out slowly.

Preset: Depress the pin on the pin valve.
Flatline, Disconnect & open on/off partially.

Try to drain is slowly. If you vent a tank on full blast, you'll freeze thing up and freezing isn't good for seals.
On a screw in, screw the tank slowly into an asa that isn't hooked up to anything. Just don't screw it in all the way, and it'll vent out at around 1/2 pressure or so.
With a flatline or such, just open the on/off partially.
If all else fails, dry fire like a mother.

I just shoot the rest of my tank out, then I take a quarter and press the little stem like thing where you screw it into the asa and hold it their to get all the extra air out.

That sounds so harsh and painful for the tank.
