Well, after shooting today I tested my gun again and noticed that the Cyclone would NOT fire....so first thing, I've had this problem before so I changed back the 1\16 hose and the fittings w\o the QEV...worked like a charm.

Then went BACK to the 1\8 hoses with the Palmer QEV....did not cycle at all, if you took the hopper off you could actually see the air coming up through the cyclone houseing..this is ver weird, seems it's pushing air in, and not pushing it all out, some air will come out of the QEV but nowhere near the amount of air that is shooting upwards out of the cyclone houseing via the two vent holes.....I guess Palmers QEVS really do STOP working, I've heard of this before, but never experianced it until now... :( Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I did try adjusting the QEV, nothing happened

I wouldnt be surprised if your QEV is simply dead. I mean ive never seen it happen, but ive heard of it and if you think of it mechanically it is very possible.

....what the heck are you talking about? All you do is screw it in, there's no "installing it wrong" you simply screw it in, and attach the hoses. And besides, I didn't change anything from when it was working to make it STOP working. Anyway I will contact Palmer on Monday.

For buying a crappy... Palmers QEV? Cause it ain't the Cyclone or the A-5. Anyway, I'll call Palmer l8er on and see if they'll send me a new one.. if not, I'll just order a Clippards one.. The cyclone is working fine since I have the stock-hoses and fittings on, it only stops when I put on the 1\8 hoses, fittings, and QEV.
