Co2 in shockers?

[automags4ever]

What's up guys. I'm pretty sure i've heard that co2 performs really good in shockers but I would like to make sure of that. Is there anything I would have to put on one? Would it go through a max flo good (I know regulators are for n2)or would that be bad, ect.


Thanks

The original PVI shockers were designed to run off CO2...or at least that was the rumor, they certianly couldn't be run off the availble 3ksi systems for very long. I ran my PVI shocker of a remote 20oz for years, in some VERY cold weather too. Froze the tank up more than once, but the Max-Flow and the shocker never flinched. I would say shockers should be run off CO2 rather than N2 all the time since they are such horrible gas hogs.
