I didnt look through the comments... someone probably already said it. Put the bottle your filling up into a bucket of ice. as you mentioned... the bottle was hot after filling, with higher pressure... but pressure normalizes when it cools off. Ice just keeps the bottle from getting overly hot, makes condensing easier because of lower temps, and allows you to fill easier and more efficiently. We use this technique with refrigerant recovery. Just hook up the tank set it in a tub (or bucket), and fill with ice. You may have to play with what pressure to stop the pump at, as the ice may cause the opposite effect.... You might pump in 3K, but when it warms up it may be at 3.25K... but you should be able to fill tanks slightly faster with this method. Im probably 3 years late though... and someone probably already led you to this path. Lol.
@airvelocitysport discovered that using "Seccolube" an HPA specific oil, and running a oil/water separator would help eliminate smell, AND prolong the life of the compressor because of oil piston blow-by. Its pricey, but a good idea if you want to optimally run any HPA compressor I personally also like to run a cotton/charcoal/cotton filter after the oil/water separator for max filtering
You can't beat these for the price if you are just getting into Airsoft for PCP airguns. I've since upgraded but I will always keep a Yong Heng around as my spare.
I see you don have a filter to collect the moisture in the compressed air. have you had problems with your guns from corrosion from the moisture. UPDATE never mind i see the filter now.
That depends on the output pressure of your compressor. I have not found any consumer stores (home depot, lowes etc) that sell compressors that are capable of filling an HPA tank
I came across a video of someone reviewing this compressoe stating that there was some minor oil build up in the tank. Is it safe to use because I've also hesrd that oil in a hpa tank is essentially a bomb that can combust on fill ups spontaneuously?
You must keep up on the maintenance with this compressor. Inspect the fill whip filter after every fill up. Also, make sure the oil level in the compressor is proper.
We have not tried any larger tanks yet, but we have heard of people filling scuba tanks with it - you will probably have to fill it in sections to allow the compressor to cool (ex: 4min intervals)
I have this compressor and have used it for my paintball tanks, I’m now getting a Slp (super low pressure) tank for my airsoft pistol setup and I just wanted to make sure it can be used with this air compressor before I hook it up… but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work
We ordered ours on amazon. You pretty much have to buy online since none of the big box stores are going to know about /carry something like this. There are other alternatives but this is the cheapest compressor for the money that we could find. Pays for itself in the long run
@@OrdoAirsoft yeah.. I've been noticing some now with no oil, no water and compact and portable but highly concerned with their durability. Tuxing, GX... what do you think of those?
As of now, we don't have any experience with those brands. Ours is a two-stage compressor so it gets very hot when operating and water is is must. I would research those other ones to make sure they are reliable
I’m thinking of getting something like this .. I get my 88ci/4500psi tank filled at my local dive shop but when I pick it up it’s quite warm, once it cools down naturally the pressure drops … Does the water feed on these things stop the tank warming up and giving the maximum pressure at room temp?
The tank will still be warm after filling but not as warm as getting it filled at a scuba shop. The water feed is to cool the cylinder head on the compressor, you are always going to have some pressure drop after filling once the tank cools to room temp.
@@OrdoAirsoft Yes I understand that you’ll loose a bit but I mine was quite hot when I collected it and dropped to just above 3000psi once cooled down, so lost near on 1500psi give or take … The tank is 100% fine, nothing at all wrong with it. Can you allow them to cool and then top them up??
You can allow them to cool and keep filling, the reason they get so hot is because they are filled very quickly with the method they are using. Also, you should not fill them up to the max psi rating maybe fill them to 4000 psi instead.
Hey bro i am still pretty new to hpa but got the topa hydraulic version it's exactly the same as the entry level Yong heng and just has a plain blue outside and my tank is a 4500 68ci aussie made gladiatair carbon fibre tank and i just fill 1500psi then wait 5 or ten minutes before going again so im not doing a hot fill but what i want your opinion on is the small canister tampon filters lol that they come with, should i invest in a bigger longer one they are only about 70aud or is the small standard one fine ,also though about running both of them together, just so i don't get any crap in my air tank but some guys are going to the trouble of desicant filters and double cylinder moisture removers .any help and information would be greatly appreciated
@@OrdoAirsoft can i get a link where to get the exact one? i'm scared if i bought the wrong one and afraid of getting my tank explode, i've never tried refilling myself any tips about not to do and to do? thanks
With this compressor you can fill to whatever psi you want up to 4500. So if you want to only fill to 3000 that will work perfectly fine. We can't give you a link because ours was ordered from ebay and those listings are always changing. Order the one that doesn't have the auto cut-off feature because I have heard those are nothing but issues. As far as filling tanks goes just watch the gauge carefully, and follow the steps we went over in our video.
@@OrdoAirsoft hi, ive been using same compressor like yours. Once i finished with the refill process, i released the valve, supposedly it should be releasing all the air from the compressor, but turn out it is also releasing the air from my fill nipple. After all the air has been released out, i found out the o ring has broken. is it normal for the o ring to be broken or ive missed some important step.
Replace the o ring first, but also your fill nipple may need to be replaced on your tank because its a 1 way valve it should not let air back out of the tank.
NO NO NO DO NOT. WHY DO YOU THINK IT HAS THE HUGE FAN AND HAVING TO USE A BUCKET WITH ICE WATER AND THEN THINK ABOUT THE MOISTURE ITS FEEDING YOUR MARKER. NOT TO MENTION IT IS A PUMPING TIME BOMB BRO. " MONITOR YOUR HEatgage! Really? People are so desperate... Just wait and save a little more cash. I really cant believe im seeing this video!

Pretty sure it's 55c degrees celsius is the max heat ,if you put ice in the bucket it helps cool it a bit more
I paid £150 for my one for filling airguns , had it 3-4 years now , worth every penny great little compressors just change oil regularly.
You can't beat these for the price if you are just getting into Airsoft for PCP airguns. I've since upgraded but I will always keep a Yong Heng around as my spare.
Amazing video, great information! You made it very clear and easy how to use it. Now I feel comfortable getting one.
Would love an update video, I didn’t even know these were a thing! Game changer for sure, where did you get it?
Yes, it definately pays for itself in the long run! We got ours on amazon
Thanks for the video. Very informative and covered all the maintenance and fill procedures.
How long roughly would it take to fill a 48ci to 3000psi?
I see you don have a filter to collect the moisture in the compressed air. have you had problems with your guns from corrosion from the moisture. UPDATE never mind i see the filter now.
Man this is getting expensive. I'm already up to $600 on the launcher itself with upgrades, now another $200 for this
This will pay for itself though!!
will this ever run out?
Confused as to what your question is? It just compresses outside air and fills the tank up.
It’s a must
Worth every penny
Can I use my air compressor at home to fill these ..I have a 120 gallon
That depends on the output pressure of your compressor. I have not found any consumer stores (home depot, lowes etc) that sell compressors that are capable of filling an HPA tank
Where you order it from
Novarossi did you race off-road on road or drag race??? Maybe heli???
Off road truggy
How is now after one year,still working whitout problems?
Still no issues just regular maintenance.
What is durability of this china?
So far so good should be durable enough to pay for itself before breaking. Have not had any issues yet.
Will this compressor fill a 90 cubic inch 4500 psi carbon fibre tank? Love the video btw!
Yes it will fill a 90 cubic inch tank, it will just take a bit longer. Just watch the temperature of the compressor to make sure it doesn't overheat.
Ok, thanks for the information!
Can't you just use a air compresser from like home depo?
No, these tanks can go up to 4500psi, normal shop air compressors usually run 150psi.
How long does it take to completely fill an empty tank?
About 5 minutes of running the compressor.
How long does a 3500 psi tank last or how many bbs
All depends on how much psi you are running and what system you have. For us about 2 days of gameplay.
What model is it, I need that
They propably have an updated version of this now. Look on ebay thats where we ordered this from.
Can you put an inline air filter or like a separator on it where the fill line whip comes out?
It has a built in filter at the end of the fill whip that is replaceable, but if you wanted to add another one I am sure you could modify it.
@@OrdoAirsoft I wouldn't recommend it unless the fittings are all HPA rated. Most pipe fittings and filters would be for normal
I came across a video of someone reviewing this compressoe stating that there was some minor oil build up in the tank. Is it safe to use because I've also hesrd that oil in a hpa tank is essentially a bomb that can combust on fill ups spontaneuously?

Have you filled any larger tanks? Would it fill a scuba tank?
We have not tried any larger tanks yet, but we have heard of people filling scuba tanks with it - you will probably have to fill it in sections to allow the compressor to cool (ex: 4min intervals)
Do NOT use it for diving. This is not properly filtered for breathing.
Order some RED LINE oil, tha absolute best oil available.
I have this compressor and have used it for my paintball tanks, I’m now getting a Slp (super low pressure) tank for my airsoft pistol setup and I just wanted to make sure it can be used with this air compressor before I hook it up… but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work
Yeah it should work fine
still working?
Where can I buy
We bought ours on Ebay.
will 1 tank last all day?
Depends on many factors, but unless your running an LMG chances are 1 tank will last the day, at least these 68 cubic inch ones will.
Where did you order this compressor? If we're in Canada..how would we order one at a fair price and reliable source?

It's still reliable this HPA Fill Station?
Yes, still works perfectly, and has paid for itself. We love it
@@OrdoAirsoft What's the brand name and model? I just bought a HPA gun today, and wanting to get a fill station.
Do you have to replace the filter after each fill? Or can you get multiple tanks out of one filter? Is so how many tanks per filter?
We usually get 4-5 tanks per filter, it also comes with 3 spares when you buy it.
@@OrdoAirsoft can i get a link where to get the exact one? i'm scared if i bought the wrong one and afraid of getting my tank explode, i've never tried refilling myself any tips about not to do and to do? thanks
@@OrdoAirsoft and also is there ways to change the psi to 3000 because 4500 psi is illegal in my region thanks
