    co2 and x-valve, educate me

    i did a search but found contridicary facts about co2 and x-valve

    does anti-siphoned co2 work with the x-valve?

    i noticed that the ULE custom is a great way to save money, yet i would have to wait a long while after i get the ULE to get HPA, which i still have to waite a long while for
    or wait a very very long while and buy everyhting together, which would run arounf $900
    see, i'm the kind of person that wants the best thing, and nothing less
    but i might have to compromise...

    No, CO2 will not work with the X-valve. It recharges too fast. After the 2nd shot, liquid will get into your valve and it will freeze. HPA starts at about $50 for a 47/3000 tank. Check the classifieds here. You can get a good 68/3000 for a little over 100 bucks.

      well yeah, but like i said, i like to go all out when i buy stuff aka. an adjustable system, which would run me at least $170 even in classified
      don't feel like getting a medicore tank and wasting the money when i buy a better one

        Out of curiosity, why would you want an adjustable HPA system? The X-valve, iirc, needs an input of 600-1000psi, putting a high output preset tank right in the middle of that desired range. An adjustable reg HPA system would seem to be a waste.

          It gives the person more control on the reactivity of the trigger, I guess.

            because with an adjustable one, you can adjust the output pressure, therefore, you can adjuste the amount of RT the valve gives you

              anything preset to over 800 is great other than that adj is nice to gt faster reactivity and or more bounce

                .........the higher the input pressure, the more reactivity you get

                        Yeah I know it's a pain in the butt but an adjustable tank will give you the best overall control in tuning and adjusting the kick of the RT valve. A preset will work just fine though if you are short on the cash.
