no luck as far as troubleshooting. Replaced all orings. What is the rear feedneck oring?

no luck as for trouble shooting on Machines website. What is the rear feedneck oring?

If I remember, I will take a pic when I get home, but if you are looking down the feedneck, there are two orings, one closer to the barrel, and one closer to the drive train. Replace the 017 oring closer to the drive train.

I will try that. Thanks!

First off, the vapor is mid-low pressure only (350-550 is ideal). If your tank is high pressure, there's your problem.

As for barrel leaks, there are only two orings that could be leaking; the rear feedneck oring (take the engine out and then look into the breech; you'll see an oring by where the bolt just was) or the front bolt guide oring.

It was the rear feedneck oring BANG! Nice job guys and thanks! This baby is smooth. Running lp traded my g6r ripper for it.

I also recommend settings your ABS dwell to 2, and the ABS timer to 2. This should keep your vapor shooting nicely all weekend, even in this soon-to-get-worse frigid weather.

I left my vapor in the trunk of my car all weekend and after one or two dry-fire shots, I had no bolt stick or dropoff throughout the day....first snowfall means it's around 32 =D

I did a shooting video in my backyard yesterday and it was 20-35ish degrees and it worked perfectly fine. Not even a barrel break with ridiculously old and flat paint. I have my dwell at 10ms, shot like a champ. Had my doubts with the vapor but its starting to impress me.

EDIT: I have all v2 parts. If that changes anything.

Some help please, My vapor is getting roughly a hopper and five pods per fill. I have a 68/45 ninja tank and i took the red shims out to make it LP. My settings are default and I have a pooty bolt installed. Anyone know why Im getting so little paint through per fill?

Thanks

Is this a full 4500 fill?

I get a full hopper and 4.5 ish pods on a hot fill at 3k psi

Dan0102 · 11-15-2012, 08:17 PM

Just bought a Vapor... figured the only logical thing to do is post in the Vapor thread.

Can Machine have its own forum yet?

^^ you guys; Take out the drivetrain and remove the backcap (use an oring pick, toothpick, or paper-clip to push down on the plunger in the little hole on top of the backcap) the plunger, spring, and post should come out...then you can use an allen key to remove the two screws that hold the endcap in place. Beneath that you'll find the efficiency valve; make sure it's clean and lubed....and make sure there's no debris in there blocking it or preventing it from closing.

Ha! Good call; Go post over in the Vapor Vendetta if you'd like; we tend to chill there the most. And as for Machine having it's own thread, I doubt it'll happen. Machine would have to pay PbN to have their own sub-thread, and it's not worth it considering there would be no return for them.
