AGD Flatline....slow recharge?

[felony]

good golly ms. molly..

probably would have kicked me outta here if i started a new post on it..

i never blamed the flatline for anything. I asked if this was normal, not "what the crap. this damn flatline sucks. i shoulda just used CO2.."

whatever, was just looking for some info.. thanks footemps

dazed and confused..

That was more aimed at Trex than you Dan. He thinks he proved something with compairing two tanks...then he quit right there and assumed too much. Notice the comment "...but the results speak for themselves". When in fact there are inadeqate results and the do not speak anything at all. What they realy speak is his Flatline was malfunctioning. And he concludes its because its a Flatline. See?

cphillip, down boy

cphillip did you miss your meds? Or perhaps you have difficulty reading. I clearly claimed NO expertise. "I'm not even going to pretend to know the reasons why . . " is exactly how I stated it. I am not making ANY assumption, rather I am stating the absolute fact that changing from a flatline to a hyperflow solved my problems immediately. Again, I clearly stated that I don't know the reasons! I do, however, have some reason to think this is a flatline problem, and not just with my tank. Me and 3 of my friends have RTP/Xvalve'd mags. 3 of us had 3000psi flatlines and 1 has a hyperflow. Only my friend with the hyperflow could "sweet spot", the rest of us got nothing no matter what output level we set. So, he disconnected his tank and we each tried it on our own guns. Immediately we could easily sweet spot. All 3 of us! We've all made the switch to the hyperflow and all are extremely satisfied. Am I saying that the flatline is a bad tank/reg? Not at all, just responding to a thread question with my .02 based on my limited experience. Isn't that the purpose of this forum?

P.S. ALL flatlines suck!!!

you might want to put in an classic valve spring pack to bring down the flatlines output pressure.

and thats why i bought a conquest for the same price

my flatline was acting up when i first got it, but i changed the reg seat and its been great.

all around i couldnt ask for anything else in a tank.

cant wait to get my 4500

My 2 cents... I aint got a single peice of paintball equipment that keeps working as well as my Flatline. Its had a few "replace this, grease that" issues, but never ever been a continuous problem. I've slapped that tank on 3 different markers, at 3 different input pressures. I never think twice about it.

hmm.. then why have several people been complaining that they dont get nearly as much reactivity with flatlines than with max-flos? i for one have experienced this. had an axvlaved mag running with a flatline, not getting much recativity. switched the flatline with a max-flo, same output pressure, much, much more reactivity. you could get some 3 shot bursts going with that sucker.

their talking about recharge rate not air flow

THe flatline does seem to recharge slow. it drops down on each shot, rises quickly almost back to its original stat then finally clicks back up.. this normal?

if i shoot fast, and output is set to 800, it will only come back up to 6-700.. until i let up, then i get what i spoke of above again..

You can't judge shootdown or recharge rate just by looking at your gauge. they aren't all that accurate, you know.
