Serious Problem With My Mag!!!!

[Soopa Villain17]

ok i have a mag with x valve , level 10 and ult, using a jj edge kit and diablo balls and a 72/3k tank , im onlygetting like maybe 350 shots from a full fill, with my old tac one with the same setup and a 68/3k tank i was getting close to 700, i dotn have a chrono to tell wut fps im shooting at , but at 4 dollars a fill and only getting 350 shots i cant afford it as im saving up for aone7 , any ideas wut could be wrong why im getting such crappy efficncy? i never had this prob with my tac any help would be great

maybe the gauge on your tank is off...mine is.

[Soopa Villain17]

Sounds fishy.. Talk to one of the bigger mag peopel hrere (tuna, rogue, yoda, etc)

[D-Block]

Are you dry firing? I can watch the pressure go down if i dry-fire.

[Soopa Villain17]

little bit of both, dry fire and with aint

[Wheelman]

Dry firing give crappy efficientcy, you should get a little better than that if you just shooting paint.

[cdacda13]

check yout reg seat. If its worn out, it should cause you to use more air.

[Soopa Villain17]

the mag is brand new , ive shot less than 600 shots threw it, nothing should be worn out

[athomas]

Dry firing and a high velocity setting can have a bad effect on efficiency.

[MadPSIence]

oil it up, dry fire off 100 shots take it out an start shooting paint. if it's brand new you need to break it in. my gun got maybe 300 when i first got it, it gets over 700 now

[chairChimp]

If it's as new as you say...

Then it'll cost you a couple of tanks but you gotta put some cycles through the marker. As MadPSience said, it needs dry firing out of the blocks really. I'd lube up, put a couple of oil drops into your air inlet on the valve and fire a whole tank off, just dry firing. Then repeat with a second tank and halfway through switch to firing paint. You should find that the more the mag 'settles in' the better your efficiency will be.

What may occur is that as you fire it you'll get leaks as the o-rings bed in, so listen out for them or just leave it gassed up and make a note of the pressure and leave it for an hour, if it's leaking it won't hold tank pressure.

Good luck,

when i first got my xvalve, ult and lvl10 setup the efficiency on my gun was horrible. just like what your describing. I shoot about 1800-2000rnds of paint for a whole day and use about 10-11$ of air. I just make sure everything is oiled up and not leaking
