Hello gents. Just bought a shocker with 3k max flo set up but I want to use c02 on it for the time being, is there anything I'd have to change before I stick c02 on it?
Cheers.

No, just ensure that you have an anti-syphon tube fitted to your tank...Shockers prefer CO2 btw...oh and remember to lube everything up with Dow 33 and if not fitted an air transfer tube filter would be a good idea...it is a long tube of foil mesh that goes the length of the body.
. If that's the case, will I have to buy a whole new reg?
you shouldn't have to. the max flow is the only reg that will work with air and co2. and the 3kpsi bottle will more than handle co2 pressures.
oh wait hang on, if u have a 3k air reg how are u supposed to fill the bottle with co2, as co2 fill rigs are screw in type ones.
The only problem is that the max-flow, if its the old style 1, uses a backwards bottle thread (lefty). The best thing to do is to use the air valve on a co2 bottle, or fill the air bottle with co2, u need to buy a converter for filling though (as the fill is right hand screw, and the valve will be left). Smartparts europe does them I believe. Hope this helps.
I'll be using a c02 bottle, not one for air. Does that mean I won't need to change anything on the max flow, or will I have to buy a thread converter?
