Noob question regarding APE e-grip and CO2 usage

I just ordered the egrip APE-preinstalled package drop in solution from tippmann pros. I do not have an expansion chamber and i do not use compressed air. will i see problems with freezes or whatever just using regular co2 with the e-grip?

also, i'm not modifying the cyclone yet either because i cannot afford it. is this APE egrip going to cause problems with the stock cyclone system? should I keep it around 15bps or less so i don't get a milkshake in my cyclone?

thanks in advance!

Well, I think you'll be fine with CO2. Don't quote me on that though because I have a WAS egrip. I don't see why it would be any different though.

As for the cyclone, I would keep it at least 17bps or lower. Try it out first though, if you start choppin paint go to 15 bps.

If you set your ROF too high, you may see some freezing. Being that it is summer time, the warmer weather may help prevent that a little. I would say the max you should set you ROF is around 15bps until you get either an expanshion chamber or a stablizer. I would recommend from my research getting the Palmers Stabilzer, from what I've read up on, it does a much better job then an expansion chamber.

Re: Noob question regarding APE e-grip and CO2 usage

Also, keep an eye on your Cyclone ratchet. That is one piece that can and will wear much faster with an e-grip or R/T. If your Cyclone stops working, take it apart and check the ratchet for wear. If it is chipped or cracked even just a little bit, replace it. Unfortunately the ratchet is prone to breaking, so your best bet here is to get a TechT Vortex or JCS Jet Click to replace it permanently.
