...and that gorgeous GTA sticker is a priceless upgrade.

I need a GTA upgrade for my Shoebox, or a Pot sticker.

Looks like I need an upgrade for my camera.... Or a training program.

Hmmm.... might be a loose nut behind he wheel.

That looks like more a camera issue than operator issue... motion blur is generally worse, that just looks grainy to me.

Maybe you have it on a low resolution setting? once you shrink down an already low res image to less than 350kb it don't look better....

Oh SHOOT Mike!! It didn't even dawn on me that was the "super deal" compressor. I forgot all about that. Glad you got your money back. I'd be careful on the $268 one as well. Some guys are getting a shiny new coin for their money. I hope they all get their money back as well. Definitely go through paypal and/or ebay for one of those.
I gotta give credit to Mike at MRodAir for running this compressor through it's paces before shipping it out. It has a scratch here and a ding there that occurred during the boat ride but it functions (so far) flawlessly. We are way into the "break in" stage and I'm going to change the case oil this just to have a look. I'm also going to move my second (smaller) tampon dryer to the whip between the tanks and the guns. I want to be able to check what comes out of the tanks and into the guns.
I do have a question for some of the experienced compressor owners...
I have the "gold" dryer coming because I wasn't able to cancel in time. Would there be any benefit or downside to putting this on the low side of the compressor? Would it restrict airflow into it?

Bill
I have been watching the reports of the ebay sellers and the coin trick they are playing. I have had good results with the few disputes I have had to start on ebay for poor seller performance and always received my money back. Really wanted the compressor though, the ones I am watching now all have ratings in the thousands with 99% plus rating so feel pretty comfortable buying from them. I believe the ones sending the coins are very low rated sellers and likely will be banned for their actions hopefully.

I would not attach any thing to the inlet air side of the compressor since it would restrict the air flow for the compressor to use and likely create more heat and wear on the compressor. It would be ok to use the small black filter between the tanks and guns but as "bizill" has stated you should already have clean dry air in the tanks now going into the guns so no real need. It would be best on the inlet side to the Mrodair HPA filter or the gold filter to catch oil and water that does migrate out of the compressor and lessen the load on the big filters again as "bizill" has stated. One thing I would do with your setup is to not open the tanks valve until the HPA filter has at least 2000 psi built up so the filter can absorb the moisture properly. They work much better at high pressure than at low pressures. Or get a pressure control valve that would go before the HPA filter that will not allow flow into the HPA filter until 1800/2000 psi has been reached in the line to the filter. Just my 2 cents.

HI Mike,
What brand of compressor did you see on Ebay?

HI Mike,

Michel
I have been looking at the Yong Heng compressors on ebay, the one that I ordered for 69 bucks that never showed was a Yong Heng as well. It seems more buyers have gotten that brand/style than the Tuxing style so that has swayed my choice and the few that got the Tuxing have had some issues versus the Yong Heng. Here are some links for sellers with high sales and good ratings.

Got a text message from DHL that my Ali Express gold inline dryer will arrive on the 14th. I ordered it on the 5th and tried to cancel it on the 9th. The website had in listed as still processing. I got a message from he seller that it had already been sent to the "warehouse?" and couldn't be cancelled. It's all good, I believe I have a use for it. If not, it has been spoken for.

Hey brother Bill,

How is the dryer you got from me doing ?

Looking for some feed back on these.

Ease of use ? Effective ? Enough parts/fittings included ?

I want to make sure these are the right thing to use, easy to setup and priced right.

Its not easy to compete with the Chinese with their own products ya know.

From the samples we've been sent and others I've personally ordered, this one stood out as best built for the bucks.

What is your opinion as a customer bro ?

avator · « **Reply #92 on:** August 11, 2017, 07:53:31 PM »

To be honest I haven't had much run time on the compressor. I only have the 2 tanks and the weather has limited shooting.... either screaming hot or raining. I was able to top both tanks off and every thing seems good. I need to gather a few more connectors to set things how I want them. I'll be scanning the web for various foster fittings. I definitely need a male threaded female foster or two. And I want a male to male foster. The inline I got from you seems to be doing what it's suppose to. I have a white board to hang near the compressor to keep track of things on. My plan is to do a setup where my 80cf tank remains connected to the compressor. I'll branch it off to fill guns from the tank. When the tank drops below 3k I'll be able to top it back off without swapping whips around. I'd also like to pick up a carbon fiber tank for road trips.
These things take time.

Mike,

I don't want to derail Bill's thread, but, think you could provide more info and maybe a video of the new 12v compressor in its own thread? Precious little info on these units...

Bizill · « **Reply #94 on:** August 11, 2017, 08:23:40 PM »

I can just see some moron draining their battery down while they are stuck in the middle of nowhwere. I still think it'll be a nice niche product for the right person. I'd like to know more about them as well.

avator · « **Reply #95 on:** August 11, 2017, 08:24:47 PM »

Think I'll contact Joe at AirTanksForSale and see if he can put my dual valve idea together for me. That way there would be no question on safety.

Mrodair.com · « **Reply #96 on:** August 11, 2017, 08:59:53 PM »

This new 12 volt portable job, is pretty cool.

It won't drain your battery.

Built in low voltage detector, cuts it off well before then.

These are much different than the 12 volt units I've seen others post about.

From the others I've seen, this one would be a gen VI or gen VII version.

The best part is, SPA makes these and that's a big bingo for me.

Wired in LED display and "smarty pants" features built into this one.

I will do a video soon, but man the machine work is piling up around here and I'm working thru the weekend trying to get all that done, so it will be a week before I can get one shot and edited.

I'm more worried about keeping enough in stock after the reliability is reported on.

This unit, takes no tinkering, no extras, nothing.

Pull it out of the box and even the hos has fosters on both ends and a small dryer installed.

Truly a plug and play deal.

At the price I have currently, even the Chinese will have a hard time selling them and ship them to you cheaper.

This first order, is to get a few out there and let them sell themselves..

I'm pretty confident after using this one the last 6 weeks myself.

Joe B is a great guy! I bought a valve and hose assembly from him to set up a pristine condition SCBA tank I had. He was awesome to deal with. He only sells USA made quality connectors and hoses that are made from the correct materials. I have a hydraulic supply house a few miles down the road where I can get most of the same parts, but the price difference is negligible, and I would prefer to support Joe's business.

avator · « **Reply #98 on:** August 11, 2017, 09:18:56 PM »

Thanks MikeH. I'm definitely going to contact him. He is the only one that pops up on my radar for this.

Bizill · « **Reply #99 on:** August 12, 2017, 01:35:05 AM »

Good thing the 12 volt unit has a fail-safe, dummy lockout mode. LOL. Obviously with the amp draw this will have to be used with the vehicle running, actually, perhaps not if you're only filling a small airgun cylinder. I was thinking of filling a smallish tank whilst out in the field. Perhaps it's not targeted for that duty. Either way, I wouldn't run it without the vehicle running. Most have no clue the condition their vehicle battery is in until it dies on them when they're already late for work. You wouldn't want anything extra with a high amp draw leaving you stranded.

Thank you to our advertisers!
