Yes, Ions only run on High Pressure Air (aka nitro or nitrogen) CO2 will not work. actually if you get your hands on a regulator off a vibe or sp1 the ion will be safe to use with co2 since the vibe and sp1 are the same as the ion except with a different (and co2 friendly) regulator, however it is almost required that you have a Anti-siphon tube installed in your co2 tank in order to get the whole system to work well together
There are two ways to test if your Co2 tank is a siphon type tank. (1) Look on the side of the brass valve for either an "S" for siphon or "DT" for dip tube that would be used to draw the liquid from the botom of the tank. Either of these would indicate a shipon type valve. (2) If you do not find the "S" or "DT" on the valve there is a good chance that it is not a shipon tank. You can do a second test to verify this. With the tank upright and securely supported, open the valve and watch the discahrge. If it looks like snow and falls to the floor you have a siphon tank. If you get just gas and no snow, it is not a siphon tanks. Caution Co2 is very cool and and burn skin. Be sure to protect yourself when performing this test.
If you remove the siphon tube from a CO2 fire extinguisher, the extinguisher will not work properly. The siphon tube is responsible for drawing and releasing the CO2 gas from the extinguisher. Without it, the CO2 gas will not be able to flow out effectively, rendering the extinguisher ineffective in suppressing fires.
Carbon and carbon dioxide, CO2 are not the same. They are not even similar. Carbon is a black solid. CO2 is a colorless, odorless, gas.
Yes, but it is highly recommended that you use HPA instead. CO2 with this marker may cause re-cocking issues as well a pressure spikes. It will defiantly cause a decrease in pressure consistency. It is recommended, if you need to run CO2, that you use an anti-siphon tank or a vertical tank with remote line to decrease liquid intake.
No, Compounds with the same empirical formula have the same elements in the same ratio. SO2 and CO2 contain different elements. SO2 is a compound of sulfur and oxygen while CO2 is a compound of carbon and oxygen.
Yes they are all the same just different brands.
Yes indeed! CO2 is in fact the same as carbon dioxide. The "C" in CO2 is the elemental symbol for "Carbon". The "O2" means that there are TWO oxygen molecules.
Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen (O3).CO2 is the carbon dioxide.
All Co2 cartridges are the same, they are just different sizes.
It can if the CO2 tank you have is anti-siphoned, but your taking a risk. It is best to run the marker on HPA (compressed air, Nitro, whatever you want to call it.) The CO2 could ruin the solenoid.
No, paintball co2 is much higher pressure.
