    Smoking barrel?

    Ok this may be a dumb question but Ive never noticed it before from my mags. Im running a n2 system and Im getting that white smoke like vapor out of the end of the barrel when I shoot like you see alot from co2. Is that common and I just have never noticed it before? I seem to be just as proficient air wise but just started noticing the vapor this weekend.

      Its not oil, i forget exactly what it is. Somthing to do with rapid represurization or somthing. Its normal though, nothing to worry about.

          Thanks all. Guess I just never noticed it before. At least there isnt anything wrong to worry about.

              Just used 2 drops into the QD before hooking it up. I do that everyday I go to use it.

                its just condensation from the rapidly expanding air in your tank. Normal, nothing to worry about.

                  The decompression of air is causing it.
                  The air in the tank is compressed, hence the molecules are closer, causing more friction and heating. The air in your tank is therefore warmer than the air outside the tank. Now i'm sure there is somthing do with this temperature and the humidity which is causing this.

                  Not the Oil.
