found another problem the seal between the punch and the bottle arnt flush.

 

ok so i contacted the seller to see if they will send me a new one.

2 possibilites here
either the emergency co2 unit is faulty and a new one will correct it

or

its not ment to with hold that pressure for a long period of time. the paintball co2 unit is ment to add about 40 paint ball shots in a game if your main co2 source runs out.

 

any updates on this?

I was going to ask for thoughts on this one... not that I'm planning on using it, my fermenter is running very smoothly, but ya never know... I know it's a single stage, no solenoid, etc...

 

holy crap what does that fit on?

 

that looks like a 20oz. valve.

I made one the day before yesterday
Ive got high pressure with nothing but parts I had here, bottles, air line, ect.

I am on 6 bubbles per second, I have 4 2 liters for mine and an accumulator between the bottles, the accumulator has increased pressure quite a bit in this system opposed to my old one without. I dont have bubbles I got a stream of Co2 coming from that to the bubble counter, then a ball valve then another bubble counter, first counter is a stream of Co2 coming in then the ball valve is the regulator and that takes me to 6 per second.

I did start to OD the tank but a few minutes of tuning and its perfect now.

 

I'm not that familiar with paint ball cans... but here are some more pics..
"SIMPLE REGULATOR *1
**can't fits paintball cylinder**" ... not sure if they mean CAN fit paintball cylinder or what...

 

Won't fit US tanks as that is metric threaded you would have to find a metric to US adaptor and the only place I know that sells one is ADA for the ADA Speed Regulator to US tanks and it runs about $35.

thanks white devil and big fish. this should help lots now if i can get that dumb emergency co2 thingy to stop leaking co2

 

Yeah, I'm actually having the exact same problem with the emergency 12-gram cartridge unit. I thought I'd try and use liquid sealant to try and stop the leaks, but now every fitting is literally covered in hardened glue-stuff and the leak is still there..

I came across the exact same ebay ad where it says "can't fits co2 cylinder", and I was tentative about ordering and trying it out simply because of that. I was thinking about trying this:

http://www.rap4.com/paintball/os/90-degree-adapter

I'm not sure which direction the airflow is on that piece- ideally one could cap the male end and force the co2 out of the smaller "90 degree" fitting, but I'm not sure if that works or not. This problem is getting to be kind of ridiculous, though, because I have HC that is slowly dying and I have no way to give it consistent co2. I thought this little DIY would be the perfect solution, but alas, nothing is perfect. Plz update and let us know what you end up doing.

 

well the seller never got back to me after several emails so i donno if i wanna get another one or not. almightydolla didnt have this problem. i wonder if it is hit or miss?

hmm

 

my seller never got back to me so i donno maybe its a hit or miss thing with these units.. almighty dolla didnt have this problem

 

I honestly just said screw it and went over to the ADA store in SF and bought the adapter they carry to connect a 20oz tank to a 5lb regulator. Then I went to a brewing supply store and bought the regulator, got a 20oz tank filled, and drove home a happy camper. I already had the glass bubble counter/diffuser from ada setup in my tank (remnants from the co2 cartridge battle), so connecting and getting it started was a snap. Now hopefully my HC will stop melting

 

lol good for you
but im still determined to make this a cheap set up

 

stupid no good #$#%^$%ggin metric to american damn #$$^%# fadfa ARRRRGh!!!!

 

COMMIE THREADS....

thank god the cold war is over Metric IS SO much easier.... (did I just say that out loud? )

 

metric.... are you kidding me ok ok but still reduce no good metric to american friggin $$% assdflk$%@$ aslkfjasd fl;sd threads AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGNHHHHH!!!!!

 

Were you able to iron out the problems? I was contemplating making one too.

 

no its not worth it.

its kinda dangerous since its unstable and im not gonna blow a bunch of money i dont have on buying a new emergency unit to see if the one i have is defective.


aaaand the seller just ignored me when i told him/her that the unit i had was defective and that was the only person on ebay that sold that type of unit.

good luck
