    PSI problems

    I have a nitro duck mega reg tank that I'm using with my x-valve. I used to be able to get about 950psi with the classic valve, but now I only seem to be able to get 850. What's the deal? Is there something I need to adjust?

    I'm not quite sure what your asking.

    Are saying that since you put in the X valve the tank only adjusts up to 850psi?

        Do you use the same gauge? If you have two different gauges that aren't of the best quality, they might show very different readings for the same pressure.

          the only gauges that I use are the ones that come on the mega reg...they're the same ones I've always used

          I also get inconsistent velocities by 10fps

            I think it must be coincidense that the tank has developed an issue during the swap.I can't see how the valve could have any effect on the tanks ability to output a given pressure.

            Try the tank on another marker and see if it will go higher,for that matter you could try it on a blocked ASA,and add a gauge to the ASA and see if it matches up with what the tank gauge says.

              I'd love to, but I don't really know anyone at school who has a gun that uses HP...I also don't have an ASA that I can block. I suppose I could try to get someone in the chemistry department to help me out. They might have something...

                Practically all markers can use HPA

                  well, I have a spyder and a tippmann 98 here in my room...I know the tippmann can use hpa, but I don't have the hoses and what not to hook it up

                    Ok, but connecting your HPA to another marker wont change the pressure it outputs. My guess is that something is wrong with the reg, but I have no experience of a mega, so I can't help you there.

                      Well like I said, I think you'll find it has little to with the valve.
