Cyclone feed system problems Tippmann A5

Question

Every time i run low on CO2 my cyclone feed system stops working. Any ideas why. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

the blow back piston on it stock is a little wimp. TechT makes a really great replacement that should help. Or just don't run co2, CA or N2 is the better way to go. Also specialopspaintball makes a similar kit for about 10 bucks cheaper but i can't vouch for that one cause i havn't used it

Answer 2

Because the stock cyclone needs the pressure from a full tank to continue to operate.

Every stock cyclone will stop working when a Co2 or HPA tank is almost empty.

The Tech-T cyclone upgrades reduce the operating pressure of the cyclone so the cyclone will operate even when the tank is almost empty.

Answer 3

if you have a feed like mine because you are running low the co2 discharge from firing the paintball is what drives the feeder so maybe there isn't enough discharge to power it.
