Lvl 10 air efficiency

[MMaglpc]

Hey, I have come to realize that my lvl 10 is a gas hog. I have a minimag with a hyperframe an x valve, ult trigger kit, and i use a 68 ci 4500 psi pure energy tank. I am only getting like 700 shots on my tank. Is there anyway to get more shots without going to a bigger tank. Can i do anything to my lvl 10 to increase efficiency?

Thanks- Please reply!!!

Use the loosest carrier (that doesn't leak) with the lightest spring.

[MMaglpc]

what spring is the lightest
the short or long one

[Dayspring]

Shortest. The longer and harder the spring, the more force needed to compress it. More force requires more air.

Mine eats air too :-P

My Level 10 used to eat the gas but sinice I've had it dialed in pretty good for awhile now I'm pretty convinced I'm getting better efficiency. The big thing is to get the regulator disk pack that prevents venting out the back when you turn the velocity up, my stock one(s) did not and that meant I had to tune the Lvl 10 to a bad place to get it too work.

Once I gothte right disk pack I was better able to tune the Lvl 10 working the carrier/o-ring combiantion to the minimum one that did not leak. Since then I can track the wear out of the o-ring with precision and my gas consumption has improved. I run a 68 ci/3000 psi tank and get through all of the paint I carry (about 600 rounds) with gas to spare.
