You wanted to oil your vortex mod?

cause the one you posted is for "air soft gun/marker". You need these "Gold Cup Paintball Gun Oil 1oz".

edit:anything that move, just put some oil on it.

From what I have read you need some sort of grease (I think you guys call it lube, though Im not absolutely sure on this) because oil isnt sufficient.

Now I would use normal grease for this but Im not sure you can. I bought this lube product from tippmannparts, because that is all they have.

Are you having problem with it? If you just recently installed that vortex mod or TechT's mod, and when push the pin doesn't click back. You need to play and keep pushing couple of times. thats what i did, and its working perfectly now. You don't need lube, trust me. just oil it and every thing would be good. just remove your cyclone from your marker and play around by pushing the pin couple of times and put your finger in your cyclone and twist it fast. Do that couple of time after using oil and you'll be fine. make sure also that you didnt screw the nut on the cyclone really tight.

TechT - "We suggest grease like Dye Lube, or Shocker Lube to do this. "
