EGO9 - High or Low Pressure

[Will L]

Been out of the game for over 2 years now and was very much a Dye man before that. What do the EGO's (specifically the 9 if that makes a difference) run best off? High or low pressure?

Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I think the EGO9 is set up for High Pressure, but you can buy a low pressure piston for the HPR so you can put a low pressure bottle on it.

OR get a Violent Series regulator (similar to what is on the EGO11/GEO2.1/Etek4 etc) and it allows any pressure, even SLP.

As far as I know HP is recommended for Egos but they should be fine with a good LP bottle as long as it's not too low and has a good recharge. I use a Crossfire LP bottle on my Ego 8 without issue, when I spoke to Planet at the time they said the Crossfire was one of few LP regs that'll work ok.

If buying a new bottle there's no reason not to go with HP, very few guns prefer LP. Older Angels for example, which is the only reason I have an LP bottle which I used with my A4 Fly.

Oh right, thanks. Would I be correct in assuming its the same for a GEO/GEO+ ? High pressure?

 

[H]

Indeed, if in doubt HP all the way.

 

[WildWayz]

As H said, if in doubt then HP all the way.

Cheers fellas.

Check the spring in the GEO

If it looks like this then use Low Pressure Only

If it is silver then use High Pressure.
