    C02 and an Eblade/Torpedo reg

    At the moment I am a bit short handed on tanks so I am wondering, how much damage would a co2 tank do strapped on to an e-cocker with a torp reg/tickler? I can't imagine there being much chance of liquid co2 hitting the noid, but I don't know much about the eblades.

    For that matter, does the torpedo handle co2 well?


    Thanks for who ever can point me in the direction

      This has been asked 1000 times about every marker imaginable.

      Run a properly situated anti-siphon co2 tank through a co2 friendly reg (Stabilizers, older Max-Flos, Sidewinders, and WGP Ergos are generally considered some of the best), and you'll be fine.

      I can't say about Torp regs though, I've never used one. If you *must* run co2 on that setup, make sure you're using anti-siphon and the tank isn't over filled.

      Dual-regulation is nice, but it isn't always necessary.

      I'm sorry I can't give you a definitive answer, but if you take the proper precautions I wouldn't worry about blowing a noid.

        I have used co2 on a Torpedo regulator before. It Frosted over after firing rapidly. However, if you wanted to just test fire the cocker I bet it wouldn't hurt that much. Just don't point the marker down so liquid co2 doesn't run directly to the reg and into the marker. I wouldn't try to play a day with co2 though.

          Just don't do it. If CO2 can mess up a tippmann or a typhoon (both of which I've seen), then it can screw up anything.
