what should be the first upgrade for the ion?

**jaggy13** · March 5th, 07:32 PM

I would suggest a better reg. I am not impressed.
I also really like "thebetterone" trigger that I just installed.
other than that, maybe a barrel kit.
also I am not seeing HPA in your sig... That should be #1

**ineedanswersplz** · March 5th, 07:56 PM

yeah i know
i want one but a good one is too expensive
i only got like 320 and i'm trying to get the gun as we speak
do you know of any good ideas for a HPA tank?im a rec/ SMALL tourney player
thanks alot

Just get a 68/45. Anything less and you will eventually want the 68/45.

I am going to leave mine pretty much stock. Most of what I have read is that even stock that this is a fairly decent marker, especially for the level of play that I am at. i am not a tourney player, though I may hit a novice sometime. I just enjoy the sport. Farnkly it was teh price tag that led me towards it. Frankly, I spent the farm on the mag, so even if I wanted to upgrade, stock the Ion will have to remain.

I think you will love it medic. even stock it feels great, except that trigger. I have had a little trouble with the stock reg "slipping" pressure set wise. I was able to get it working what seems correctly again. but I am going to leave the CP on it for now anyway. The reg is nice and small and the feedneck is one of the best stock I have seen. my appache sits tight enough that I can hold the kit by the hopper and it doesn't fall. I have learned w/ EP guns that pressure is key, so I always use an on/off of some kind. that way you can get in the habbit of cracking the air on and watching the gauge. (blowing noids is a bad day) Most of these ups are universal and may be laying around. (or can be taken off a mag) with little or no out of pocket.

I mainly picked it up for its size, weight and ACE system. Enjoy

back on topic:
i dont think u shud get a "thebetterone" trigger, just take of the magnet on ur trigger and wait for the blade trigger to come out. im pretty sure something will comeout better that "thebetterone"

**chromekilla** · March 6th, 06:19 PM

dont think he's some kid in his backyard cutting triggers with a hacksaw

he's very well known and makes great triggers for every gun out there.

**socalmike** · March 8th, 05:52 PM

what kind of pressure does the gun take high or low cause im getting a high pressure tank sometime this week and would really suck if it wont work on the ion cause im going to buy an ion for myself on my birthday in april.

* the tank im getting is a 68/3000 pure energy tank

***onesikpup*** · March 8th, 06:07 PM

high pressure is better....low pressure will most likely result in shootdown.

also, the ion should run at about 170-180

**Lordgunner** · March 8th, 06:09 PM

They say that only LP crossfire works.

***onesikpup*** · March 8th, 06:12 PM

yeah, cuz they are pretty high flow....all the other lp's arent that good

**empire 4 life** · March 8th, 06:18 PM

IMO ups for ion should be better reg, barrel, feedneck, trigger and an on/off if you want.

***-PBV*** · March 8th, 09:06 PM

Where can one get a "thebetterone" trigger?

**bobide** · March 8th, 09:24 PM

from "thebetterone" he's a member here. Send him a pm, or look him up, he might have listed his email. If not, supafly has dealt w/ him and could most likey give u contact info.

***onesikpup*** · March 8th, 09:27 PM

magnet return aside. the stock trigger is very flimsy and gives a "weak" feel. "thebetterone" is a very nice solid delrin trigger. Also it has no side to side play. I have a blade trigger for my impulse as well as an OTB frame, The OTB is also very flimsey and has alot of side to side blay. I don't know the guy making the triggers and have no endorsement, but I have tried it and would recomend it. ...have you? didn't think so.

**big_balla** · March 8th, 11:07 PM

As soon as I get bday money, the ion, is my next purchase. Like Medic said, for that price, you can't go wrong. I saw some vids, and I was amazed that it costs 285. I can't wait, but I'll have to buy a better hopper, also.

***thefuzzz*** · March 8th, 11:19 PM

i cant wait for my ion to come ima get new reg and barrel for it first those i think are the most inportant ups to me.
