eBay compressor

Ken,
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but from previous posts I assumed that  you have the Yong Heng compressor? It looks like a different configuration than the Tuxing. Is there a similar video out there geared towards rebuilding the Yong Heng? I am presently torn between the cheaper Yong Heng and the more expensive Carette. I think the Yong Heng would be great for topping off my PCP guns but if I decide to get a SCBA tank, the Carette might be a better choice. Decisions, decisions.

Elguapo99 I do have the yong heng compressor. The tuxing compressor and the yong heng are different compressors but function the same. Figured if I have to repair mine, should be similar in disassembly. I haven't searched you tube on the disassembly of the yong heng yet. Hoping there is a video or I might have to do a you tube video on mine if mine conks out😳 As far as whether or not to get a yong heng or a small compressor, yes works great for topping off pcp guns and a filling small guppy tanks and topping off a scuba tank. The carette is also a good option. Better compressor will fill up scuba tanks and made in china😳 Ali has the carette. Ask your self, how often are you going to fill assuming from empty scuba tank? When I bought my omega, I bought a scuba tank. Fill an empty scuba tank and haven't filled that tank from empty since. Just top it off. What I'm saying I'm glad I do have a back up compressor the omega. Had the small compressor been available couple years ago, I would have bought the small compressor I have now which is now my go to compressor. Small easy to move around, cheaper, parts are available. If the unit burns up, it's not that expensive to replace imho

I personally regret buying the Tuxing compared this this model of Yong Heng.  https://m.aliexpress.com/search.htm?keywords=4500psi+compressor#/
Many sellers call this the boutique model.  The reason is the dual oil water separator/bleeders.  If oil is coming from anywhere it is from stage 1. I think the young Heng of this configuration would do better at getting rid of oil from that second stage where it becomes crucial that no oil, even the proper iso vg 150 oil, gets there. Also the condensate has more area to pool up in those separators. Only downside I can see is that I bet that high pressure bleed screw gets hot, real hot.  Otherwise the guts are the same, just different channels between stage 1 and 2, and 2 and tank/gun. 

Mind you I don't have a Yong Heng so I am speculating on videos and available parts I have found. I may get one in the future and run 2 small compressors in tandem for faster fill times for medium sized tanks or just a back up.

Jeremy, we bought the compressors that we bought. Hard to say if brand a or brand b is better or worst? I am glad that there is parts available for both.  as more reasonable priced compressor are on the market now, it makes it affordable for us airgunners to enjoy the dark side of pcps. I do like this compressor in the link that you provided https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/32747591930.html
Has the water tank on top. If I had to do over again I would buy this one  or the yong heng

I like that one that has the water tank right on top and has a larger drier. I don't see those available in 110v though.

I like the idea of the self contained unit but I don't think the water capacity is enough to keep things cool for very long.

Definitely not enough water on this unit.  Good initiative, Bad judgement.

Water on top of an electric motor...what could possibly go wrong there?

 Have others bought this compressor ?   I purcheased this one.

Bountyhunter1976 had good things to say on page one of this thread.

I like the looks of the motor cover on the yong heng. Looks much easier to get into than my tuxing.

[redtrucker610]

I just ordered a 110V Yong Heng. I hope I have good luck with it. I imagine it will be a week or 2 before it gets delivered. Where is the best place to order the chemlube for it?

You know good point there😳 Seems like a good idea but never thought about the electric motor under there. Good call👍🏾

keep our audience posted on the compressor

I have the newer model Tuxing 220v compressor using a Simran AC-5000 transformer to power it.  So far it's working very well.  It will fill an M10 from empty to 3000 PSI in just a couple of minutes and top it off after shooting in about a minute.  I bought a 16" Husky locking plastic tool box from Home Depot for $7 and drilled holes just slightly smaller than the coolant line diameter just below the lid with a small notch in the lid for the pump power cord to pass through.  Coolant hoses are passed through those drilled holes and I use automotive vacuum line squeeze clamps to seal the coolant lines to the compressor head and those clamps stay on the lines when not in use.  3M trim tape was used to attach the pump to the bottom of the box.  The coolant hose was a pretty loose fit in the top of the pump so I wrapped scotch tape around the hose until it was a snug fit into the pump then used a little superglue to seal it.  I have the return hose just an inch or so long into the box and fill with water just below that level so I can see that water is flowing with just a quick look.  When finished I can just disconnect the lines and the pump power cord, latch the lid, and carry it without spilling water to empty it if desired. 
 
Overall I'm very happy with this setup so far.  Only time will tell how the compressor holds up but it is a relatively inexpensive way to fill PCP's.

Kurt,
Which Aliexpress store did you buy your Yong Heng from? I see several different stores selling the same compressor with different prices and a wide range of shipping times.

[redtrucker610]

I ordered mine through Chon Electronic Technologies. They seemed to have a good price with the compressor and shipping. I have been happy about the way they have responded to my inquirers. They have responded to all my questions within 24 hours except for one, but that one was over a weekend. They answered that the following Monday. Someone by the name Joan Shi has been the person answering my question. I figured that they have been willing to answer all my questions over a couple week period was a good sign. The day I got the notice it shipped they sent me an email about what language I wanted the instruction manual to be in. I answered and in a few hours I had a reply with the instructions attached. I also had asked about a larger separator because I didn't see any listed on their site. They sent 2 pictures with 2 different larger ones. Said they could ship with the compressor to help save on shipping. I ordered the largest one. I will have to wait to see if it comes with the compressor.

Tracking shows it arrived in Memphis at 2am on Sunday from Anchorage. It's still there as of this afternoon.
