Want to get more out of your CO2 tank? In this article I will tell you three ways that can help you get the most out of your tank in terms of performance and life.
Does your CO2 tank have a standard pin valve? If so, you are missing out on a huge improvement called an on/off valve. By installing an on/off valve on your CO2 tank you can screw the tank in your gun and then turn the valve to gas up your gun. When you are done playing, just turn it off.
Pin valves are annoying because they shorten the life of o-rings, and they are unpleasant to take off the gun. When you unscrew a tank with a pin valve, any CO2 left in the gun will blow out around the valve, which will sometimes ruin your o-ring. With an on/off valve all you have to do is turn off the tank, shoot out the remaining air in your paintball gun, and unscrew it. There is no unpleasant hiss, and it helps your o-ring last longer.
Installing an anti-siphon to your paintball tank will help you get the most out of it. The main problem with CO2 is that when it is inside your tank, it can exist in liquid and gas form.
CO2 exists as a liquid and a gas in your tank, and when your gun starts running off of the liquid, its performance will suffer. An anti-siphon kit will help make sure that the gas goes into the gun and not the liquid.
To keep your tank scratch free and in pristine condition, you can buy a neoprene cover to protect it. It will protect it from dings and from normal wear and tear, and can even help it grip your shoulder a little better.
To get the most out of your tank an on/of valve will add convenience. You'll be able to easily turn on and off the air to your gun, and you'll also increase the life of your o-rings.
Installing an anti-siphon kit will help prevent your gun from drowning in liquid. It will help your gun perform better and more consistently.
Once you have all of that on, protect your tank and keep it looking new with a neoprene cover.
