I knew luxes were gas hogs but this is rediculous...

OK so I took my luxe out for the first time yesterday. The first game I shot about 2 pods and a hopper. I was already down to 500 psi out of a 68/45. I don't understand why it uses so much air. Is there any way to help this.

I'm thinking you have some air creeping somewhere. Clean and lube all of your seals, and maybe replace them.

What bolt do you have? And check for leaks inside the bolt and airways.

I cleaned and relubed everything before I went. I have a 2.0 bolt. at my field there air will only fill to 3500. But even then it still shouldn't be using so much air. I will check all the seals. And my filter on the top of my reg is stuck is there any way to fix that.

Dwell doesn't have an effect on efficiency of the Luxe, it fires from a set volume of air.
I would check to make sure you have a snug fit on your inner back cap oring, the 3rd inner can oring, and make sure you have a snug fitting bolt sail oring. Also make sure your bolt guide is screwed in tight.

^ sounds about right
to check ur inner can orings put the bolt in contact with only one oring at a time and it shouldnt fall out of your can when you shake it lightly same with the bolt on the bolt guide

Just inspected everything and I found 2 orings on the bolt guid that were lose and causing a little leak. I will change them and see if that works, also what settings do you guys reccomend for FSDO and Dwell
