    Is there a way to vent air?

    hey, i'm having a bit of a troubling problem. nothing too serious, its just that every time i want to take my macro off, i have to depressurize the line. and the only way i know to vent the air out of the line is to take my whole xvalve off so that it leaks down the barrel.
    i am using:
    cf emag
    xvalve
    lvl 10
    45/4500 flatline tank (i would like to clarify, NOT a screw-in tank)
    6-8 inches of macroline between 2 90 degree fittings, looks like this:

    basicly i am looking for a way to take the air out of the line once i turn my tank to off. unfortunately it doesnt have a bleed feature, but its such a good tank in ways that matter more, that i dont really mind. If there is no way, i guess i'll stick with pulling my xvalve out all the time, but i would rather not have to do that. thanks

      Just get a quick disconnect, it will be a little tough tough to open. But much easier than doing it with macro. I have no problem disconnecting with about 550 psi in the lines, i have an apoc2k.

        alright, so i can conclude that theres no way to vent air using macro then?
        also, where can i get SS hose and a quick disconnect for my marker, and how much would it cost? i mainly shop on pbgear.com, but dont want to spend $10 shipping $20 in parts, and i'm low on cash at the moment. thanks

          Your on/off doesn't have a purge?

          WEll shooting works most of the time for me. I notice that sometimes I have to shoot, sometimes I dont.

            shooting only takes it down to around 400 psi before the gun wont cycle anymore. i want to get the psi down to like 20 or less so i can take the macro off, becasue i put the barrel condom string around my fitting, i use a qloader, so putting it aorund the feedneck doesn't work since i have a big ol' hose there.

                you want it down to 20 psi, it takes more pressure to pull the quick disconect

                  The Flatline On/Offs don't bleed pressure, they're not a screw in on off...

                  I remember seeing pictures of macro WITH a QD, I'd ask around some of AO's Airsmiths might know, like Tunaman!

                  AGD Did someone call me?

                  You should go to each gun manufacturers forum or call them up. Ask the OWNER of the company why his gun is better. When you get your answers come back here and tell us what they said.

                  You should buy my gun because I have 5000 posts that say I care.

                    The best thing that I have found to use is a Pro-connect. They are a quick disconnect and a shut off in one.
