My mail to Pyramyd just now:I bought the Notos based on your recommendation.It leaks, out of the box. It stops filling at about 2200 PSI - you can hear the leak. Then, when the probe is removed, it sags down to about 1500 (barely in the green).I'd already taken the time to mount & bore-sight a scope. I should've tested the gun first.Very disappointed.

I now do this after every 10 fills or so.

(My FX Wildcat uses a similar probe and doesn't have such issues.)There are reports all over the net of these things leaking out of the box. I'll give Pyramyd a chance to fix it, otherwise it goes back.

I'll give Pyramyd a chance to fix it, otherwise it goes back.I'm not referring to lubing the probe's o-rings. Apply a liberal amount of silicone oil to the center of the probe where the air exits. This causes a spray onto the o-ring in the air tube when the air is pushed in.
So the other thing is that today my 7-8 yo Nomad compressor died! Pumping my Impact after the Notox, it gave up the ghost. So I can't try this just yet.
