    hrmm sounds like the co2 gas is freezing up inside the valve due to the speed your shooting at.

    yes but other than slowing down what can i do to stop it its a 32*ex.chamber im thinking maybe thats my problem but then again with a remote almost anything could beat the liquid couldnt it?

    Liquid is the plague of CO2. Evil stuff it is.... Ok, the best way to get rid of liquid is to get an anti-syphon tank and an ACI 6-stage expansion chamber. And, dont point your gun down, that'll just flood it with liquid. Oh, and if you do get the anti-syphon tank, you cant run it on remote.

    When in doubt, duck. When certain, don't bother, you're already screwed.

    if youve got ex chamber and a remote, and you think it still is the liquid CO2 why dont you try an anti syphin tank im sure your local paintball store would let you try one out in the store.

    get a vertical regulator, there was one that was suppost to stop liquid from getting in.... can't thing of the name right now, but if you do get a reg u can also set the pressure as a bonus.

    the heat packs wont be hot enoug to counter the instant freeze of liquid co2, and youd just look funny.

    Or get a littel crazy and:
    Use an Anti-siphon on a 20 oz.
    replace the pin valve with a regulator set to 800 psig.
    Put a Palmer in the vertical ASA set to 600 psig.
    Run your gas line from the Vertical ASA over the feed into the valve.

    And by the way with a Anti-siphon tube installed in a tank you can shoot down, the tube is bent upwards and to the back, so the liquid would be down by the neck of the bottle and the inlet tube would be in gas.

    why would an anti-siphon tube be better than my remote?

    Easy answer, it's not. It's all preference, I personlly don't like useing a remove, I like a back bottle setup. Remotes do act like a very long expansion chamber and do work well.

    So what if there is smoke coming out o the barrel! When I use co2 there is some, and when I use Nitro there is even more smoke. I dont think the co2 is the problem. IMO its prob something in the valve stuff. However, it still could be the co2, but I doubt it.
