X-stream wobble

[ThunderCat]

I just got my Nitro Duck X-stream and fitted it to my bottle. it has a bit of a wobble, it wobbles around the edge of that huge adjusting bolt that no-one has the wrenches for.

Is this normal or should I be worried?

Do you mean the Reg is loose on the bottle? Or the Reg is loose on the drop?

If the Reg is loose on the bottle - then that is VERY bad, for gods sake don't fill it - take it to a shop and get them to look at it.

Mines the same!!

I can hand tigthen the adjusting nut, that solves the problem, but puts the output pressure up as well.

The bottle is not loose on the reg, but the adjusting nut does seem to cause a "loose" feel. And how come I can adjust the pressure by hand, thought you needed the "missing" spanner?

I have mailed NitroDuck.....but not had an answer yet!!

I'm curious - if the pressure output can be adjusted by hand, then that means the Air system cannot be used for tournements.

Is there no way of locking it off?

I havnt actualy tried changing it by hand and checking the results. According to the NitroDuck website, twisting the adjusting nut with the "missing" spanner....alters the pressure up or down.
I tightened mine by hand to stop the wobble. Then just used the air system all day. I had to turn the guns reg up a bit actualy, to get 280fps.

The Timmy it was on was supposed to take 500psi from the bottle, but with tightening the nut, the guage now reads 800psi.

Anyone else had the same problem?

yeah it is loosness around the adjusting nut, the connection to the bottle and the connection to my marker are fine.. I couldn't move it by hand though, will see what I can do when I get my hands on a spanner..

The one I reviewed was fine!

As soon as its under pressure its fine! Its when the bottle is empty that it wobbles! *EDIT*OK so... mine doesn't do that!

Mine wobbles without air in it... so does this go away when I put some air in it then?? Not had a chance yet to fill it up...

What nut Gary? Or do you mean the adjusting collar thingy?
