That 1 and 1/2 turn of the feather touch fixed all my chopping problems

[limevaporeldaniels83]

i still even after the feather touch adjusting was choping I figured out that my detents were to hard so I used a softer shorter spring haven't broken one in awhole case

read the tuning guide; if it's leaking from the front of the bolt, it's either the rear feedneck oring (017 that seals against the outside of the bolt) or the main seal (013 that seals on the inside of the bolt)

I also tend to lube my detents slightly so they don't bind, and that seems to make a world of difference

[dpmielech]

got a question. I'm following the tuning guide and pulled out the rear feedneck oring and for the life of me can't get it back in. is there a way to put it back it thats easy? because i cant make it work.

[dpmielech]

scratch that, replaced it but now its still leaking. worked for about five shots and then stopped. it always would leak on first air up, then id turn it off, back on good to go. Now its constantly leaking. i pulled all o rings out, and replaced the rear feed neck o ring. any idea whats wrong??

People with little fingers seem to have an easier time of it, maybe let your wife or the girl next door try it... Or do like i did and just finger f%#* it for a half hour.

[Gorillak]

Ugh got no chance of getting them out with the size of my hands... Gotta wait for my pick >_<

[dpmielech]

i somehow worked it in there. Getting it out is easy with the pick, but getting it back in was a nightmare. I finger banged it for awhile

future reference:

To get the rear feedneck oring back in, put the engine/drivetrain back in and turn it 90* to one side. This will pull the bolt back far enough that the oring groove will be lined up with the front of the bolt. Now, when you drop the 017 into the feedneck and push it back, it should sit in the groove without falling back into the shot chamber.

1) My Vapor was shooting with kickback/recoil on Sunday, and 2) not chrono-ing over 6-7bps.

I'm thinking I'll need to adjust the FT screw; (I didn't have an allen wrench that small). Any thoughts?

Replace your battery; it sounds like there's not enough juice to charge the noid. I'd also check your board settings and make sure your FT isn't locked down all the way.

Invest in a GOOD set of allen keys and keep them for youself. you'll thank me later.

lol I've got a great set of allen keys... just don't have that one tiny size that fits the FT screw.

And yeah... I'll change the battery (hadn't done this after sending it off to Machine... )

Thanks Tony.

edit: After changing the batter and adjusting the FT screw I'm back to being in love with my Vapor... actually proud to call it "my Vapor" since it's the nicest shooting marker I've ever touched.

Hi from Panama
i just receive my Vapor last week,the first one in my country so everybody is waiting to shoot it, but i have a couple of issue.
1.when i air it up, have a leak between the frame and grip... solved 1x3 oring
2.break a lot of paint...but after following the Promod tuning guide it shoots laser.

just need help with how to fix the loose grip.. or where can i buy one..

im in love with my Vapor...
BTW sorry about my english.

[dpmielech]

If your issue with the grip is what I had with it leaving the battery kind of exposed, your grip screws are in the wrong spots. The screws are smaller on certain holes so you just have to line the right ones up.

[Vissa]

2 screws are shorter, 4 are longer. Watch out with that.

[ProMod]

So there's this thing called a solenoid...and it takes up a fair amount of space within your marker.

What you want to do is put the small screws in the top holes, closest to the back of the marker (right by the Vapor logos). If you put the longer screws in the back, they'll stick out a good amount because they're bottoming out on the solenoid.

The two longer screws go on the bottom, and up front by the trigger.

[lucas05pty]

i already have that screws setup. i refer to the gap that is just below the trigger frame. it seems like the grip is to big. that gap make my grip a little loose in the front side.

[ProMod]

My grips don't have a gap anywhere. One common problem I've seen on vapors/egos/etc. are when people over-tighten their grip screws and crack the plastic backing inside the grips. That causes the grips to sit loosely. I don't mean to downplay any issues, but I normally side on user-error more than anything else.

Regardless, I'm working on getting a few other manufactures to make flat-panel grips for the Vapor so hopefully we'll see an influx of products in the near future.

[lucas05pty]

nice.. thanks guys.
