2 hours run time.... about 25 fills each on two impacts and 25 more on a Crown Continuum... thus far I am impressed.. my only complaint is it fills too fast.... fill to 250 bar when the dust settles is really 230 bar... due to a "hot" fill... this unit goes from 150-250 bar in about 2 min..... whatever they changed with the recall when these first came out they have fixed in spades.... this fills FAST

Got to ask so I and others don't make a potentially dangerous error.
Would filling to 260/270 (so it settles to 250) not work? surely the 250 bar tanks and their relative guns connection point have a safe margin of error built in.
thanks for the Hill info.

Very cool. Mine is on the way and I should have it by mid to end of the coming week. First one in South Africa if I'm not mistaken. I've had fantastic service from Mark, the Hill rep here.
Can't wait to fire this one up. Should compliment my Bauer wonderfully

Yep, gas laws in action. Has nothing to do with "time" unless you expect the rifle or receiving vessle to act as a heat sink

Got 2 hours on mine. Initially I had an issue with the relief valve but solved that very quickly.
Topped off my 97 Cu Ft Great White 4 times (200 to 290 bar, takes about 30 min). Filled my Omega 100 cu in to 300 bar, 7 times.
Fills a 580cc to 300 bar in 4 min.
Loving this compressor!
I did put a Lasko squirrel fan blowing on the piston for extra cooling. Goes a lot longer before it stops to cool.
One thing, if you gents are using the EC-1000, you definitely need a good water/oil separator. I opened mine up and tons of moisture was at the intake end.
I set mine to 260 bar (for a 250 fill) to skirt around the pressure drop (heat) phenomenon.
