Has anybody really experienced an EOTD?
I've run a Redsea Paintball Regulator and Needle Valve (not exactly high dollar) for two years and routinely ran the bottle empty. The only time I would swap the 20 oz bottle before it ran empty is when I was not going to be home to swap the bottle for a full one. When the regulator would show the co2 tank pressure in the red (low) zone, the working pressure would increase about 5 psi. 5 psi isn't an EOTD in my estimation. I currently use a Draught Technologies regulator (Ebay), input changed for Paintball and an inline Fabco nv -55 needle valve. Right now the regulator's tank pressure gauge is in the redzone and the working pressure increased from 16 psi to 18 psi. When I get home from work I will swap the empty 20 oz tank for a full one, not anticipating EOTD issues. If anybody has experienced an EOTD, could you post what brand or model regulator and needle valve you were using? How long ago this happened and what were you using to diffuse the co2? I'm thinking that EOTD is just a legend, am I wrong in this thinking?
By the way, the 4 kdh drop checker is yellow green so I am not allowing to much leeway in co2 saturation either.
