Tests for TK’s new Minni Compressor? How to "break"
In case you have not been following a paintballer has introduced a new mini compressor for 390$. You can get all the details here:
Look under info and what not. There are also several threads on it on:
automags.org
Anyway I have one on the way (as I think one or two other forum members do) in the next week or two and I wondered what you all would like to see done to the thing? What tests beyond the obvious “how long to fill my tank?” can you blow it up etc. would you like me to try? I am thinking it will be worth attempting some upgrading, filling scubas etc.
Anyway if anyone is in the Tacoma WA area and would like to get together some weekend I am dieing to get out and shoot and testing the compressor would be a good excuse.
Thoughts?

And how much is this thing like 400 bucks or something?
I am impressed that it can run non stop for 4 hrs….
topped up my 800cc Vulture tank from 2,000psi to 3,000psi in 45 minutes
🙂 🙂
started at 2900psi and pumped it to 4000psi in 4 hours and 40 minutes.
That seems pretty good to me!
Shoot that’s great!
Ran the compressor last night hooked to my 80cuft 4500 CF tank.
started at 2900psi and pumped it to 4000psi in 4 hours and 40 minutes.
That seems pretty good to me!
Not sure what that cfm would be but I can live with that. Found the auto kickoff changes its setting from cold to hot. Had it set cold at 4500psi and it kicked off at 4,000psi when all heat up. Gonna come up with a different kickoff……

someone call doucheman!!!
Man that was a tough day… she was wearing a thong and had used biological detergent…. I was as red as a Rudolph’s nose on Christmas Day. A little preparation H soothed me right out though.
Look she is scratching her Gimmick!
gimmick,
Now I read your posts and smile, Thank You.
It’s a lot better than thinking you want to cause conflict all the time. It’s all about perspective. 😉
Gimmick in Green… Voltar_1 in Blue.
Every group needs a resident asshole, it keeps things entertaining….to a point. Just don’t overdue it.
I tried changing my nickname to asshole but it won’t allow me… so I’ll have to act in deed rather than name.
Actually I’m thinking of poking one of my eyes out so Hoot doesn’t feel so lonely on this forum. Between us we’ll have three assholes and two eyes.
Wish I could get a second spring and have one set for each presure. gonna do that 🙂
Finally got a blow of moisture as the humidity was indeed higher here of late. Raining all the bloody time. Running for about 3 hours netted about 4 droplets of water at the blowdown.
Gonna check into it more and the clearing of the water upside down is a pretty good idear! thanks!!!!

Walter,
I should be getting close to ship date of my compressor. When you work out the details of the adjuster let us know. I would be interested in a parts list and specs.
I know Tom can’t endorse it for liability reasons, but it sounds like you have come up with the perfect setup for how I will be using mine.
I’m getting an American flag at Home Depot later today so I can wipe my face with it as I throw my Styrofoam container out of my Hummer 1.
gimmick,
That video explains it quite well 😆
Next time you post trying to “save” us from the ATF, high pressure tanks, fine tuning a compressor or whatever comes up next, I’ll just smile and say “That’s just gimmick being an asshole again” 😆
