ion only use nitrogen?

i heard the ion can only use nitrogen gas and not co2, is this true because i want one

yes..co2 will kill the ion..

so if i happened to connect a Co2 tank to my friends ion....is it dead now????

and if i do will it damage it?

you can use a CO2 tank as long as it has an anti-siphon tube installed. However, it is highly recommended that you use nitrogen, or you risk damaging your marker with liquid CO2.

sure u can use co2...but it will kill it...murder it.. tear its heart out..strangle it....scratch it....

basically..its will kill your Ion slow and painfully.

have u ever see a deer get hit by a car...pretend ur hunting and the deer is the CO2 and the car is the marker...sure u get the deer killed but u risk damaging ur car...its just safer and easier to use a rifle...hope this helped..

in case u dont understand it...the Co2 will damage ur ION, most likely beyond repair

a friend uses an ion + P-stab with anti-syphon co2 and it works absolutely flawlesly. The only problem is that with the money he spent on the tank and stab he could of got HPA.

sooner or later the ion is going to break regardless.

if i had an Ion i would run anti siphoned Co2 in it in a second....why, because i already have a boat load of Co2 tanks AND i currently run anti-siphoned Co2 in my R/T'd 98C and in my E-Bolted 98C and have no problems. at high rates of fire the gun dosen't even get cold, granted the tank will completly frost over but the gun suffers no ill effects. all the hooey about Co2 being "dirtier" than HPA is all crap IMO it's commonly used for welding and if it's clean enough to shield a molten puddle of metal from contaminating elements it's clean enough for a PB gun. and saying that Co2 will fry the solenoid on an Ion dosen't make much sence either because the Co2 gets nowhere near the "noid"......unless you run un-anti-siphoned tanks the condensation from the freezing marker would damage the solenoid and probably other things too.  and while saying for the price of the stabilizer and tank you could buy a HPA bottle is probably true, but some of us already have a ton of Co2 tanks and play in the woods so we need to travel with alot of propelant, if i had to buy enough HPA tanks to supply all the shots that Co2 gives me i would have to refinance my house!

long story short, you can run Co2 in an Ion if you take the proper steps to prevent freezing your gun. if you play on a field that has air readily available then HPA is probably the way to go but if you find yourself in the woods Co2 is king IMO.
