@impact701, are you using the bottle valve adapter from the 250bar bottle? I received the wrong adapter and had some issues until I switched it to the 300bar adapter. 

Hopefully you won't have any problems if your reusing the 250... Love that filling station set-up you have!

Yes, I removed the valve from my 480cc bottle and installed it in the 700cc bottle. 

What problems did you have ? 

I am planning on ordering a 300bar valve for my other bottle as that it will go on my M3. 

Thanks ! It makes clean dry air . 
 
Yes, these bottles come bare (M18x1.5mm threads). The threads are the correct ones for a direct fit to airguns like Daystates, and for the installation of an FX valve.

I highly suggest the Saber Tactical Degasser Kit to do valve changes correctly. That would allow you to degas the bottle from your Crown, remove it from the OEM bottle and install it into your new 700cc bottle.

An alternative is to purchase the valve from FX-USA. Cost is $50 + $9 shipping for one. Same shipping cost for 2 each. I don't recall whether the new FX valves (which are 300 bar and M3 compatible) come with a sealing o-ring, so you should probably check with FX. The 700cc bottle from Alsafe does not come with an o-ring.

Anyway, when installing an FX valve on a new bottle you don't really need any special tools, as since it is an o-ring seal you just need to get the valve snugged up and not really tight.

The valves from FX did come with an O ring.
 
Purchasing these bottles is not that easy, at least for me. Helen sends the order to your alibaba account and you should be able to pay it through your account. My problem is that the order she sent doesn’t show up anywhere in my alibaba account. Not sure if anyone else has had this problem. I would love to buy one , but I just can’t figure it out 
 
In my case Helen put through a 'payment link' which took me directly to AliBaba to make the payment.

I got the email from AliBaba (from [email protected]) titled "?Action Required?Your Trade Assurance Order No. XYZ is awaiting initial payment"

About 4 minutes later I got an email from Helen:

Helen Payment Link.1636677578.jpg


So it should be easier than you are finding it to be. Did you check your email SPAM folders just in case?

Same here. I got a payment link from AliBaba and used it to make my payment, using a credit card. I did don’t need to open an Alibaba account. Within a couple of minutes after making the payment I got a confirmatory email from Helen.
