I have recently found that the slow fill tank valves such as ones sold by Joe B will not allow an external reg to cleanly reset each shot when tethering ….at least not on my 22 cal slug guns. Using the Air Tanks Plus Reg Man or the Huma external on a slow fill tank valves would require 2-3 shots before the reg would reset even if the plenum volume was reduced to the minimum.
I have scba tanks without fill restriction and one Joe B with restriction. I had days where everything worked great, and others where it was a struggle. Luckily I finally figured out the problem. Once I removed the restriction in the Joe B tank the regs worked like they were supposed to and day to day performance leveled out.
I wasn’t really looking at tanks as an item that could make or break performance…but it turns out that they can make a big difference in external reg operation.
