New to compressors -- is there supposed to be a smell

[DESERTSHOOTER14]

Just used my GX Oil-free compressor. Worked like a charm. But smelled like something awful. That smell is also present now when firing the gun, to a much lesser degree. The first fire, it was pretty intense. I fired into a towel and didn't notice anything on it. Anyone have any input for me? Much appreciated.

As far as performance, it worked like a charm. It did take the better part of a half hour to fill my 580 cc tank to 3600 psi but I think that's to be expected

Oil smell is normal. Get use to it or do it outside. I only run my compressors when wife is out. Cause she always complain about the oil smell. As for fill time. Half an hour to fill a 580cc is pretty long. Shouldn't it fill in 4 minutes? Cause even a cheap $300 yong heng can fill a thpse gun bottle in 4 minutes.

Try big filters with molecular sleeve and others moisture catches. If the air in your Airgun smells, is not a good sign and overtime might be a problem

The low speed GX compressor does not have water cooling. It is slow. It will smell of grease. Do not ever start it with pressure on the hose. I run mine for 5 seconds before I close the bleed valve.

You cannot compare the YH to this model.
