I screwed around with my old valve, and it shoots about 10 feet then drops, tried co2 and nitro, with the flatline and with a jj same effect. So i switched my valve with my friends extra one, I see the the valve spring is much lighter(so is this a give away that its the low pressure one?) and when i run co2 on it, it works great, but when i use nitro(xstream gives offf 820) it lobs horriably. If i buy a new stock valve and run nitro will it work fine? |

If you're using a low pressure valve and feeding high pressure into it, your velocity would be horribly over 300 fps. Don't use the gun AT ALL until you can get to a chronograph. Replacing the valve with a new stock one would be a good idea to be safe, but if it isn't a LP valve you may have wasted your money. But, seeing as how there are problems with the possible LP valve, I would go ahead and buy a new one. A note to you for your future valve- make sure you keep it well oiled. A valve will only last so long when it's grinding itself away. You can oil through the ASA, or you can drop oil directly into the valve. |

Well i think it is the low pressure valve(can you tell me if it is) and I ran 820 psi into it and it lobs badly like 100 fps, and does countrypaintball sell power tubes not just valve

umm no, you got it backwards.
If you had a low pressure powertube, and you ran 800 PSI into it. It would shoot insanely fast. The LP powertube is designed to let a larger volume of air through. If you let high pressure through at a larger volume, it will blast the paintball out of thereSOOO fast, it will probly just break in the barrel. You probly shouldn't have screwed with it. |

Exactly what they said is right. Do you have an expansion chamber? A good expansion chamber will restrict the flow of HPA, and maybe Co2 gas giving off a lower pressure. I hope you messed around with your velocity screw. Drop some oil in the valve too. Your best off getting just a whole new valve. |

the low psi valve has more material removed,for more gas to flow thru,weareas your high psi valve has much smaller groves cut into the valve body.
