Unhappy To much smoke

Hey when i play paintball in a wooded area my paintball seems to give off a lot of smoke anyway to get rid of it becuase it blocks my vision wheni try to shoot a couple of rounds. Also when i start shooting the smoke gives off what looks to be like little snowflakes? anyway to reduce the smoke output becuase it really gives my position away!!!!!!!!!

It's ur c02 freezing and it always put smoke out in front of ur barrel. That is one horrible thing about c02. Your solution is to get nitrogen. An expansion chamber will help a little but not too much.

Are you using CO2? If so that is why you are having smoke. If you are talking about smoke comming out of the barrel that is.

yeah get a HPA tank...pure energy aluminum/steel ones will run you about 50 bucks new on ebay...kinda heavy but worth it..and you play woodsball anyways so you dont need the lightest tank, unless you have that extra hundred bucks...

its not smoke it liquid co2. You could get an expansion chamber which would help a little. But would suggest just buying a steel HPA(high pressure air) tank they are only like $60

HPA>Co2. Cleaner and no "smoke". And usually your gun doesnt freeze either.

Its not liquid... his gun wouldn't even shoot if it were liquid. It starts out as liquid in the tank and expands into gas when it goes into the gun, and what he is seeing is the vapor. This is normal on any paintball gun, especially when using co2. There really isn't anything you can do about it, except maybe shoot slower. Like people have suggested, you should invest in a HPA tank if you plan on continuing paintball for a while.

Go for Ebay, as most online paintball stores are waaay overpriced ($119 for a Pure Energy 72/3k aluminum tank on a certain site that sponsors these forums). I found the same tank on Ebay for $85 shipped. Plus, with Ebay, you don't have to worry about that backorder ****.

LOL this reminds me. I cleaned out my paintball closet last night and found an invoice for a smart parts smart remote line with expansion chamber. It was from 1995 and for $110 + shipping. I laughed forever for so many reasons.

Anyway, just get HPA. Look on here in B/S/T threads and look at PB nation. About a month ago I got an extra Dye peanut throttle tank for my micromag + Rhino cover for $180 on the nation. Used would be better for you I think.

QFT didn't remember the spyder part.
If I still had that remote I'd sell it to you.
I'd still get a cheap HPA if you don't go antisiphon.
I think you can get a WGP for $80 new, or get something else like I said on a B/S/T forum.

Anti-syphon will do the trick pointless getting anything else for the problem. I haven't seen a spyder fenix give of loads of gas. the c02 u use maybe a little screwd.

Just get hpa. It'll be better then to pay for an anti siphon tube when your going to upgrade to hpa anyway.
