    X-valve "chuffing" problem or is it my N2??

    Ok I just got back from playing a scenario game and put about 3 1/2 cases of paint thru my brand new X-vavle (for a total of about 5 cases thru the valve). At the end of the game sunday my mag started to "chuff" if i tried to rip on the trigger. The first shot would fire fine, but if i didn't give it a half-a-second to 'recharge', every subsequent shot after that would only chuff. At first I thought my LX might need tuning, but after I got home and cleaned my gun it still did it. So I took the couple month old 70ci 45k WGP Worr Gas preset bottle off of the X-valve and tried it on my classic Mag (w/LX). It did the same thing, so I was wondering if anyone knew of anything I should check on my mags or has possibly had a similar problem before?

    To me it almost seems like the reg in the bottle doesn't have enough time to recover to full output pressure.

    sounds like the tank reg, maybe the piston needs to be greased.
    Do you have enough air in the tank, if it gets low (1500psi)it will not recharge as fast, this can cause incomplete cycles, also with level 10 it probably wont shoot at all around 900psi.

      It's doing it when there is 4k in the tank. Now could I grease this spring myself, or should I just send it in to get done? My next question is how do I prevent this from happening? (any special tips?)

        take it to your local shop, if they can't fix it, send it in.
