CO2 leaked out while since last used, what happened?
I took my Talon SS out of the safe last night, and put in a pellet and ‘click’ nothing happens. It has a CO2 paintball tank and AF CO2 valve on it, and the CO2 had leaked out. 😮 I guess something was wrong, or maybe I should leave the paintball tank off when not in use.
Went back to SCUBA air for now. 8)

With CO2 in the tank and the adapter attached immerse it in a bowl/pail of soapy water. You will see the bubbles and know where the leak is.
Good luck.

I lost a tank once due to no lubrication on the o ring.. 😥
I’ve been leaving mine on hoping it would stay cleaner. Like not getting dust and rec room debris in there.
Mine sits for a few days at a time (at most) between uses. I haven’t noticed any major shot count shifts between bottles so I assume it’s holding. But then again I’m using a 20oz bottle and don’t really keep accurate counts over the 650ish shots that I get. This bottle will be less I assume. Just put the .22 barrel in and turned the PW all the way up.
Well it is either Condor valve leaking.
Take the tank off and leave them separate. If there is a bit of debris on the valve seat it can leak.
I leave my co2 tank on all the time and no leaks. SoFar.
Put some oring lube on them O rings Should stop leak?

Very little effect but I can definitely see it in POI. Now is that a more consistent hammer strike or increased CO2 volume? Maybe both?? I’m pretty sure you get more CO2, just like you get more air. You don’t get as much benefit from the extra volume, but it seems to be there.
I’m no expert, hell I’m usually wrong (just ask the wife, kids, boss, etc.) but I can tell that something changes when I change the PW.
