My .22 can has a mono core. After so many rounds its hard to separate the outer and the core. Then there is a lot of lead and carbon fouling inside...wish I knew this back when I got it. Makes so much more sense for cleaning.
We would recommend running that combo dry. Pistol, rimfire and shotguns are the only hosts that we recommend using in a wet configuration. Since the Versax45 will be over bored for .30cal use we would also recommend adding a .30cal end cap to your set up for added sound suppression. (just make sure you swap it back to the .45cal end cap if you plan to use the suppressor on a larger caliber host.)
There are a lot of variables that affect how long it lasts, like caliber and barrel length and more. You'll know when it's time to reapply as you'll be able to hear the difference fairly clearly. Once the ablative is gone it'll hop up a few dB. It isn't mandatory, of course, but it helps make a suppressor as quiet as it can possibly be. We also like ultrasound gel as it works super well and it evaporates really cleanly without leaving any residue behind and it's really easy to clean up off your skin and other stuff as well. Doesn't last as long as vaseline but it works great and it's clean: amzn.to/3Gtm2WI
It isnt needed. but it defnitely helps with keeping it clean. .22 is dirty and most 22 cans need cleaning every 500 rounds or so.. so some vaseline allows in there allows you to just wipe the carbon off when its ready to be cleaned. instead of scrubbing and using some sort of cleaner.
i have used bearing grease it burns up after a range use....it helps in cleaning softens the build up....i believe that bearing grease is designed to handle high temperatures so that is why i use bearing grease
The fact that you have to use them wet just to have good performance show that the technology just sucks! I hate my Versax 12! it’s the only suppressor after shooting that i regret buying! Even wet it’s still loud af! The salvo 12 at least sounds suppressed and it’s been around for over 10 years!
its definitely different than the Salvo. running it wet allows for a few things. to dampen sound, to clean, to be able to shorten, and its very light weight.
Bros within the first 30secs i see two dude with mustaches talkin about Vaseline lube
lol
The JK 195 SGX 12 will be my next can. Thanks
It's a great can! Let us know If you have any questions.
@@jkarmamentsuppressors 10-4, I appreciate that!

yeah .22 needs cleaning pretty often.
dude talks like the embodiment of the chill guy
hahhaha!
Very exciting discussion. Monotone much? Lol. Good info. Just playing.
Thanks man! I know, I will try better next time. 🤣😎
How many rounds do you recommend to replace the Vaseline for the CCX?
about 8 rounds is when the vaseline shoots out
What's the verdict on subsonic 300blk out of a 10.5" barrel with a JK 155 VersaX 45? Okay to go wet since it's subsonic or is it a risk?
We would recommend running that combo dry. Pistol, rimfire and shotguns are the only hosts that we recommend using in a wet configuration. Since the Versax45 will be over bored for .30cal use we would also recommend adding a .30cal end cap to your set up for added sound suppression. (just make sure you swap it back to the .45cal end cap if you plan to use the suppressor on a larger caliber host.)
How often would you recommend reapplying the vaseline again? After each mag? After a couple 100 rds?

On shotgun we are seeing around 50 rounds before we need to reapply. On 9mm it is closer to the 10-15 rounds.
Do you suggest shooting 22lr wet? Does that help with cleaning?

Has anyone tried a high heat axle or bearing grease?
we havent. wire pulling gel, and ultra sound gel work great too

Never add Vaseline,
It has so many applications.
It is a great option in special purpose applications. Wet cans have been used for years, this is not a new concept. Happy hunting. 🇺🇸
