Hey folks I'm new. Got a custom Pro and I use a full 20 oz bottle in 200 rounds maybe more. Lots of gas comes out of the barrel when i fire. Velocity screw does seem to change (no chrono available). Gun is new. Feeds and fires fine.

200 rounds from a 20oz...That sucks.

A reg might do the trick.

Your valve spring might be too weak.

I don't know what it is, but something is definitly wrong. You have to be leaking CO2 somewhere. Take the marker apart and check your o-rings and your line.
NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.

Just by the sounds of it, they just didn't do a good job at filling it at all, or it might be too cold and all of the liquid might be escaping (also if you have your gun pointed down).
