leaving the tank on
so I've heard, and from past experience, that when the tank is screwed on the gun, the force from the air makes the tank impossible to screw off and i dont want to ruin my threads. so could i leave it on the gun? or will it slowly leak? also i have heard that putting lube on the tank threads as well as the asa threads will make it come off easier. any tips?

Nope, if there is no on/off, just unscrew and you are good to go!

That could be a problem with the asa
Tight or large threads and mess in the threads can cause that to happen
What gun are you currently using and is the asa stock

Dry fire while unscrewing to reduce the pressure.

Or tighten the set screws on your tank - most likely the problem.

you can always put a few drops of oil or a little grease on the threads before screwing the tank on so it is easier to get off.
other options
i had one of these, they work ok, only issue is getting them off of the tank after a day of play and they move your tank back about 2-3"
 New Designz TSO - Gloss Blue - Invert Mini ON OFF ASA on eBay!
you could always get the $80 axe reg or if you wanted to be really cool, find the old centerflag tank regulator that had an integrated on/off bleed collar built in (had one, it was awesome)

why would this be a problem for the marker?
