I have 4 vapors and no anno wear but do email them if it is a brand new gun and you have a receipt they will switch out the gun for you

hey guys, I just got a vapor this weekend and I noticed playing with it, it has a hard time keeping up to the 12.5 cap.
here are my specs

Dwell 9-10
bolt return 27-29
bolt delay 6
feathertouch is 1 turn out from all the way in
using a spire with new batteries

any help would be awesome

What exactly do you mean? Give me some symptoms.... is it having shootdown problems?

My anno was definitely not the greatest. Mine was also bought brand new. Splotchy as well as some wear on the body when I received it.

Where did you order your gun? Was it order straight from Machine?

LuLuTheMonk · 03-06-2013, 01:26 AM

I ordered it through pbn_autotrader

Like its not feeding fast enough, no shootdown I'm getting +-6-7 at 290 constantly...my clock shows it shooting at 10-11 bps, I have used the same spire on my luxe and it shoots 12.5 streams no problem

So your saying it sounds, like its not shooting that fast and when you throw it on the chrono it's shoots alittle "slow" could be a chrono error but if it doesn't sound normal, I would pull drive train put and thoroughly clean and lube it. Had something similar to this.

Also up the sensitivity on your spire. I've seen spire not actually feed but every 3 ball on a vapor because it didn't know it was shooting.

n3s7 · 03-06-2013, 10:07 AM

Ill try upping the sensitivity on the spire and see what happens...

Sounds good, my sensitivity is all the way up on my spire.

So i just got my V3 parts today installed my new can, this voltage regulator where does it plug in, i havent read all the post here in this thread so if its here what page is the info on thanks

PbN_AutoTrader · 03-11-2013, 08:15 PM

It plugs in where the solenoid plugs into your board.

At the top, unplug that, plug it into the female end of the voltage regulator, then plug the male end of the voltage regulator where that was. Put the voltage reg in the frame so that it doesn't interfere with everything (obviously)

win

EliteDM9Assassin · 03-11-2013, 08:22 PM

ok so i guess you cant run it when you run the ROF chip cause that is where that installs also i got to many wires in here now lol

EliteDM9Assassin · 03-11-2013, 08:37 PM

ok so i plugged it in with out the ROF chip and with the ROF chip and now i get no clicking of the noid when trigger is pulled when i plug back in the way it was it clicks with this new regulator does it make the noid quieter lol maybe its a dumb question

ProMod · 03-12-2013, 12:09 AM

That's normal, it's meant to lower the voltage going to the reg, but keep a more consistent current. Try airing it up, it'll work fine.

EliteDM9Assassin · 03-12-2013, 04:59 AM

cool man thanks a lot

A customer traded in a Vapor that I'm trying to get fixed. (has some extreme breach wear and a few other issues) I was told it had v3 parts but does not. Was going to register the marker in order to get the parts, but the gun does not have a serial number anywhere on the frame or body.

Is there any other way to obtain the parts? With all the wear, I really don't think this is a reanno'd gun, but I guess anything is possible.

The Mince · 03-17-2013, 06:49 PM

I think you can still register it on the machine website and not put a serial number in the box.
Ive read it someone that its possible but not exactly sure how it goes.

Send an email to the machine customer support.

Register on www.MachinePaintball.com (the serial should be under the left grip; it might be anno'd over if it's one of pooty's vapors; if you can't make anything out, put "NONE" in the serial number box and then send an email to Tech@MachinePaintball.com
