Spot on. What tank are you using? Also what kind of FPE are you getting? Are you shooting light or heavy pellets?
I have roughly worked out I need a plenum of around 30cc ish if people are only getting around 565fps. I have one shot at doing the plenum as I will be parting the pressure tube and putting in a regulator so the more feedback I can get on FPE the better the chance of having the correct size plenum, I have read people get a FPS boost from increasing their plenum size so I will go a bit bigger then needed to allow for any increase in FPS from it. Having the reg should hopefully help with a consistent pressure in the plenum and I'm pretty sure I have found a simple way to maintain a consistent temp of the cylinder so the pressure out put is consistent. |

There are warnings on freshly filled pain ball bottles to keep out of direct sunlight as they have been known to bust their over pressure valve

Average running pressure on c02 is around 850psi but then due to being sensitive to temperature can go up or down from there.
Worst thing for the little cartridges is that also as you shoot there is a little power curve and rapid firing makes it cool down and drop fps. I've modified both my cr600 and a crosman 2250 to bulk filled and each shot is so much more consistent + you get about approx 500+ shots from a tank and it cost me under $5 to fill at the local gas supplier. |

There we go 😂 I just commented on the pressures. That's why I originally thought a controlled heating element with thermistor to regulate the heat to a safe level. Also a saftey note to never leave co2 in a vehicle in summer. |

10 hours some say and 63 degrees some say too the pressure at that temp are crazy 😂. I will have to definitely do some testing.

CO2 warning from Crosman. Do Not Expose to Heat or Store Above 48.9 degrees. ![]() |

The hand ones go for hours, I'm assuming the body ones do too.
I'd check temps,diff temps for the different applications of them I guess. |

Chemist warehouse do a body warmer too for cheap 😂 I'm liking this idea just need to find some pipe insulation now

😂 that primitive idea is a pretty good one, I'm not sure how long they last but I know they get pretty warm. I think I'll pick some up from chemist wearhouse and see how they do.

I'm a bit more primitive than that.
I'd just put a couple of the handwarmer packets I got around the cylinder. ( they are some sort of chemical reaction, not unlike the ones you get for heating those field meals the army has) |
