ION with QEV HELP

[phil alpha1]

Hi all

I have fitted a QEV on to my ION (some people would say this was my first mistake) but i don’t seem to be able to improve my setting much from when i bought it....

I have been told so many different things about how to set my marker up with a QEV that it all gets a bit confusing any help would be appreciated.

At present i have got my dwell set on 30 my ROF on 5 and the psi on my marker is set to about 190.

I don’t know if everyone with an ION has the same problem but as soon as i start firing and get say past 6 or 7 balls per second the psi drops down to about 140, this then makes my marker fire short...

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Phil

Do ions have a recharge rate?

Do ions have a recharge rate?

If you mean delay to allow for recharge then yes, that's what the ROF setting is but most peeps set it on min without a problem.

Dwell sounds very high for an ion with qev, should be somewhere between 8 and 18, do you need the dwell that high for it to shoot?

You've probably already done this but fit a new decent battery, Duracel or Energiser.

set your ROF all the way down to the bottom and you dwell about 12-14 and your pressure should be about 120-150

Ya i have tried a new battery because that’s normally the problem with an ION and the do seem to eat the batteries.
i tried the dwell at 10 when i first put the QEV in and i had nothing but problems with it and slowly put the dwell up i found at between 25 to 30 it runs well, but everyone i speak to says the dwell should be around 10 to 15 so i don’t know if i am doing something wrong lol.


i also put my pressure up from 140 to 190

my ions a weird one, put qev and it wouldnt fire with dwell of 15..... put it to 20 and the psi was around 110, fires sweet now, (rechrged is set to 0, rof is set to max me thinks) unless they the same thing lol

With the air off how does the gauge look, i've seen it a few times on mini gauges where the disk with the numbers spins and you end up setting it to the wrong pressure.

Do you know anyone else with a working ion so you can put your reg on their gat to test the pressure?

hi mate there is only 2 settings (apart from fire mode ie semi or ramp) the 1 is the dwell and the other is the ROF (rate of fire) so im a bit confused you eather put it to its max or its min .
some i spoke to at lincoln last month said they had put there ROF up to its max as well.

thats a good idea 3 other players in my team all have IONS i can see if i can borrow one of theres (none of them have got a QEV fitted) and test mine.

ROF setting is like a delay before next shot so the min setting gives max ROF.
