I've got both a HP and LP air bottle. Is it better to run a SP Ion with no extras on HP or LP.

I've also got an Ultralite barrel and clamping feedneck, any other up's worth doing. It's just used for rec-ball

Cheers in advance

Ion runs at 180psi so why do need to run it on HP:confused: :confused:
I've an Angel A.I.R attached to my Ion which is set for low pressure but thats how i bought it,is this right:confused:

Runs on both HP and LP, but i reccomend HP, better for the ion.

The vertical reg, regulates the pressure down to around 140/180 psi from an input of around 450(lp) and 850(hp)

its to do with recharge and drop off, if you have a higher input pressure then you are less likely to suffer drop off if your reg isnt recharging quickly enough (because there is more pressure there already).

its a kind of cushion if that makes sense

ive run lp on many markers and never had a problem but HP is recommended as already said

that generally happens when youre air tansk not in properly:confused: adn on/off drop forward soon sorts that out:D

so was I (i think, the one on top of front grip) that drops off if you dont screw air tank in al lway, doesnt happen all time, but i found if i had it in all day and not fully in as gets difficult to screw in once is air tight then can get drop off towards alter on in day, so i use an on/off drop forward;)
