Don't know if you haven't noticed it, but there is an issue with the invert mini's poppet. More pointedly it leaks out of the box in some occasions. If you look at the invert forum and look at the main complaint it's the poppet leaking. Yes I know theres the rinky dink velocity adjuster fix/replace poppet if fail fix but it's at best a stop gap solution to fix the problem. It's probably the number 1 tech support question that the PBS guys get for the mini. I know a fix is coming, I've been hearing rumors and hearsays about the fix and it's not lurker27's poppet that I'm talking about it's a pretty simple fix and I'm gonna try and pump the guys at the KEE booth this weekend if there is one at HB. My mini works fine and I'm pretty sure yours works well too but I've seen more than a few mini's with leaking poppets at some of the local shops and I'm interested in what the Invert guys are going to do.

true, however im being naive and hoping i dont have that issue when my 2nd mini gets here


but back to your second post where you say you believe KEE already has one drawn up ect. why would they not release it now? there is a market for it, and it would sell. so when you go to HB also pry at them about the regs and if they DO have them. pick one up and ill paypal promptly (within reason)

/going to bed now *yawns*

Is there really a market for it? The reg works well and nobody has complained about it's consistency. The only gripe people seem to have about it is the lack of an on/off purge. Solutions are out there, the 420SV, the NDZ TSO, and the use of a low pressure tank. End Users have already found their own solution to the problem and you want KEE to release an aftermarket part that will kill sales of accessories for it's marker? They'll wait a while and put it in as a feature on the mini's successor to make the ones who have mini's now want to sell their old models for the new one. Sound familiar? It's planet eclipse's strategy and for some wierd reason they can add a minor tweak and the agg kiddies go "ZOMG thats so 3@#% I so have to have the new model!" Think about it dude, when and if they release an on/off regulator on the mini it will force a new buying trend which will confuse me to no end just like the sales of EGO's make me scratch my head and say WTF?

KEE/Invert is not AGD and they won't make the gun 100% perfect right out of the box. I suspect that there's probably going to be a new version of the mini that will solve the minor problems the mini has and there's probably an on/off reg already designed by their R&D team. It'll probably be on the next iteration of the mini and it's probably why we're not seeing Invert come out with an aftermarket product. We'll see it when Invert decides to release a major new version of the mini.

Yeh, AGD produces everything perfectly the first time.

No detent threads drilled to far in the early ULE bodies.

No superbolt fiasco.

....

AGD made good on these but still, this idea that they have so many fewer issues than others is innacurate at best.

I stand corrected.
