    Mag noob needs help

    Okay, here's the deal: I just traded my impy for a FragMag w/ lvl 10 and X-valve. I bought a Full Freak kit, CP on/off, and CP Drop. Now the problem, I come home, screw the tank into the on/off, but my dumbass bought only one macro at the proshop and forgot my tank so I only had about 100 PSI left in my Pure Energy (steel) tank. When I screw it in, all of the air rushes out of the On/off. I don't know if this is because I ran the macro straight from the on/off to the valve, or because I only had 1000 PSI.

    Here is a picture of the way I had it set up.

    Btw, I lost my Allen key for the On/Off set screw, so I screwed it in as much as possible with a wrench. Could this have something to do with it?

    your macroline to valve setup should be fine, but one of your fittings may be leaking. Teflon them with 2 layers and try again. Try getting some 90* fittings for macroline too.

    Heres my tac to show you the teflon on the fittings:

      Is the air rushing out of the Macro fitting, or out in the direction of the tank from the on/off? Or away from the tank? It looks like the bends in the Macro may be pretty severe by the fittings, is it the Macro that is leaking?
      I went like this :shooting:
      He went like this :tard: then like this :wow: then like this :cry:
      Now he shoots a Mag too...

        Yeah, you should really look into some 90* fittings instead of those straight ones.

          Yea, I just used what I had lying around for fittings, didn't think about buying 90* at the shop. I'm probably going to get a fill and 90* fittings today.
