CO2 adapter, liquid or gas
Does the valve system for the co2 adapter rely on processing liquid or gas through the valve? Should I get a siphon or antisiphon tank, is probably an easier question.

no they just set it up to my gun…at 16 i didn’t have the smarts to ask questions when they needed to be asked..as far as pulling the tank apart it will be a while as it has been packed up and stored waiting to be moved to the new house eventually… 👿 i hate moving 👿 👿 👿
SS, did the shop give you a mark on the tank as in ‘UP’ ?
only way I can figure it to work.
Walter….
if you get it apart a pic would be swell.
after looking at the link i think i should pull my tank appart and see how thing are clocked now???..?? 😕 😕
Sub, would you explain how to do that? I have a 9oz to use on a QB79 and would love to have it anti siphon. My question is how to orient it correctly as in have it pivot up into the gas space?

my understanding is that they fill the co2 tanks by weight not pressure so that their is always a void in the tank for the liquid to expand into gas…the tube is there so that when the tank is on its side or even pointed valve down the liquid is not allowed to leave … yes some may still get through even with the anti siphon tube but it wont be the volume as it would have been with out it…as far as install its not much different as tinkering with the AF valves…the hardest part is just getting the damn thing off the tank with out screwing up the tank, after that its just a screw it in and re-assemble the whole thing and get it filled up…Having said this i DIDN’T do mine the shop that i got the anti sipone tube frome did it for me (i didn’t have the know how or the tools to do it my self back then) and it only cost me about $25 for all of including the refill…

It will boil off into a gas as it passes into the reg I should think. The fact that the bottle is on its side when on the gun leaves no room for a gap for the liquid to be gas. Therefore, it must become a gas as it enters the reg.
no reg on CO2 Pabs

when i first got my tss i used the co2 adapter and a 20oz tank that i had from my paint balling days..it had an anti siphon tube in it due to the havok that co2 reaps on o-rings in the gun…when i got a second tank to have on hand i notice that my poi would vary more with my spare tank (most likely due to liquid co2) but i dont know for shure since i just got my chrony 2 months back…but my 2 cents is that if you have the know how then i would install an anti siphon tube in your tank to give you all the help you can get…hope this helps
I don’t use co2, but I do know co2..

Yeah I understand that, but I still want to know if the valve system is designed for liquid injection into the valve or if it’s been designed to run on a gas system.
It also comes into play if I want to run a remote setup and relocate the bottle for better balance.
I’ll run the tank upside down for liquid, or vertical for gas. Not to mention I have tons of paintball equipment including regulators and expansion chambers.
Anybody?
Go to your local paintball store, I got a 12oz. tank and it gives me hundreds of shots. The size is very close to the Talon air tank.
16-18gr. pellets average 650fps. Not really fast, but out to 40yds. it’s plenty for pest control and tons of plinking.

I had the same question regarding whether or not to use an Anti-Siphon Tank. They are actually quite easy to install, have the tank screwed into the adapter and then screw it into the gun. scratch a mark on the top side of the valve so you know which way to bend the anti-siphon tube when you have the valve out of the tank and so the tube is facing up when it is re-assembled. I saw a newer style anti-siphon valve that threads in and acts like a filter so you don’t have to worry about positioning the tube.
