    Mad props to Guerrilla Air!!!!

    Recently had an issue with my reg piston getting lost from my 'Geddon tank. After much searching and looking for parts and coming up empty, I began to believe that all was lost.

    Then I found out that the folks at Guerrilla Air used to run Air America. Gave them a call, and they offered to take a look at it if I sent it in to them. So, I did.

    Today I got a wonderful box on my doorstep that contained my tank, with a completely rebuilt and working regulator. WOOT!!!!!

    What it was lacking: any form of bill. So all thanks and gratitude to the folks there for helping me out!


    On a slight side note, when putting a reg back on a tank, does it REQUIRE loktite, or just suggested?

    the locktite keeps the people who dont know anything about regs from PLAYING with it... all new tanks come that way from the venders. most techs do not use any locktite as its not suggested or needed just vent it before removing it so it doenst heurt u makes it easir to travel with ur tank just unscrew the reg just be carefull and fully vent it first

          When I was at Living Legends 2 I had a problems with my Myth Reg and spoke with the guys Saturday night that where there from Guerilla... Explained the problems I was having and he remembered me from Oklahoma D-Day 2008 when I talked to him for about 2 hours during one of the many rains storms about the company and their regs and tanks... I ended up buying one from him... Anyway he said can you come back in the morning and I will have what you need to fix your problem... I came back Sunday morning between the morning game and the final battle and he whipped out a brand new reg he had built for me that night back at the shop (I asked for a higher output pressure so I could the RT going again in my Mag) and replaced it there right on the spot... I asked him how much I owed and he said it was just good business and then said get out there play and have fun... He also said to give him a call and let him know how it worked out for me... They will have my repeat business for sure...

              Just goes to show that customer service goes a very long way.......hearing things like this makes me not hesitate to buy their products in the future.

                Very true.

                I would recommend loc-titing the tank to the arm portion of the 'Geddon. With the Arm being stainless steel and the piston housing being aluminum, the threads can gall together and you may unscrew the tank from the arm portion without realizing it. Make sure you put a dab (very tiny amount) of white lithium grease or similar on the threads every now and then to prevent galling.
                I have nothing good to put here...........

                  my only complaint with guerllia is with the myth regs, they are too small!!, i have been using a crossfire for 6 years now, and i cant pull my myth tank out of my bag and screw it in because the bottomline needs to be re-arranged, i can screw my crossfire into a gun setup for a myth, but then the whole setup is too long

                  aside from geometry, guerllia makes s great product, and i love hearing about how companies are doing something right (all too often its the whiners that stand up and say something), just wish they could make me a reg with 3/4th's thread so my nitroduck tank can exist as something more than a decoration :)

                    Hrm, usually I just use autolube there, but I also tend to store the 2 parts seperately anyway.

                    Hrm. Now I need to go find lithium grease. I don't think I actually have any here.

                      autolube is ok, but you need something that sticks to it better. Dow 33 or 55 will work also if you have that.

                        Ironically, even after working for Dow, I still don't have any of that either. I'll find something.

                          Autolube and tank threads can make an explosion. You do not need to use anything between the reg and the bottle threads. Just an oring.

                          Anyway I am now going to purchase one of their tanks. I have been holding off, but think I am now going to pull the trigger.

                            Ahh yes, but this is in the Reg threads. 'Geddons have 2 piece regs.

                            Don't plan on putting anything on the threads between the bottle sleeve and tank.
