Yeah, mine too. Big targets are easier to put pellets into, eh?

"GX are slow" is a very subjective quantity. I can take a 9L tank from 3200-4500 psi in an hour with a CS4, and about 20-25 minutes with an E-5K2.

How did you come up with 400 psi differential? I'm seeing that at 3000 ft, standard pressure is approximately 13.2 psi (ignoring temps), while at 12,000 feet it's about 10.9 psi, for a differential of 2.3 psi.

Yeah, life has a habit of getting in the way, and I CANNOT recommend the E-5K2 to anyone who doesn't have money to blow. A) Because it's expensive, and 2) Because it's HEAVY!!! You won't be lugging this beast to the range to shoot, I assure you. That's where the CS4's come in. When I decided...

Yeah, that E-5K2 is a beast. It's HEAVY, but it's on wheels, sitting on my garage floor. My CS4/4-i will take my 9 liter SCBA tank from 3000-4500 psi in about an hour. I can do that same fill using the E-5K2 in about 18-20 minutes.

CS4 - $495 shipped from GXO CS4-i - $603 shipped from GXO Having owned both, and currently holding the CS4-i and an E-5K2, I would advise you to go with the CS4. Why? Lower price, and the external power source is EASY to replace should it fail. Earlier failures of the internal PS for the...

Wow, you stumbled upon it too? Dude, we should get together and start an Enterprise!

Did you mean tanks, as opposed to valves?

Won't hurt. I added the valve, but even before I did, I just "burped" the bottom filter (hardly any moisture at all), then the compressor (98% of the moisture, carefully calculated using an advanced algorithm that most here wouldn't understand), and then the top of the filter to take it off the...

250 is 250, period (ignoring individual gague inaccuracies, of course). Whether your gauge max is 250, 300, or even 1,000... if you fill to 250, you're GTG.

All compressors can fill SCUBA tanks, and some can fill SCBA tanks. How long does it TAKE is the question to ask.

Care to share that trigger video with us? I have a .25 SLS that needs some lovin'.

I can assure you that's NOT the case. When I first got my compressor, I opened the crankcase, and all moving parts were well-covered in grease. No squeaks coming from the metal components!

Thanks for sharing the video, @1900colt !! You are a wealth of knowledge on the GX line of compressors!
