    First lube everything, especially the on/off (don't forget the little 'ring in the on/off bottom- unscrew the on/off assembly to get to it)

    My Emag valve did the same and I found that my on/off pin was slightly too long. Basically when releasing the trigger the on/off pin head only came out of the on/off top o-rings slightly therefore restricting flow thtough the on/off. During high fire rates this showed up as velocity dropoff.

    It also seems that some retro valves take a long time to break in the o-rings (4000 shots through mine and it's only just starting to get an acceptable trigger pull)
