Just brought a 68/4500 Red Candy HPA Tank from HP

And I just did some googleing and I saw that they ship the tanks with the Regs off, and I'm not sure how to put them back together. Could anyone tell or explain how it'll work? Today I crossed threaded my 3000psi tank and I basically ruined that tank and my Kaos' ASA. The tank's reg came out the tank, the reg was stuck in the gun's asa. Hard to explain in text... hahah

Crossthreading blows. Greta way to make an awesome day a super crappy one.

Yup... Basically my day... So I'm just wondering how to set up a HPA tank and putting the Reg together.

I believe Ninja has a pretty in depth video on taking a reg off....rebuilding the reg....and then reinstalling it onto the tank.

I will try and find a video of it. But I won't be near a computer for some time. I use my phone mainly for forums these days.

Youtube, my friend. Youtube. No matter how good someone is at giving instructions via text, there's no substitute to watching someone do it.

There should also be a hard copy in the reg packet.

the reason Asa locks up with regs is bad threads in the Asa. Make sure you lube the bonnet threads with lube and never force it in the Asa, if it feels tight do not turn it in.

This guy's video is awesome, but where did he get that glue/lube?

[MacMan246]

Well, I found the lube he was using, and I understand how it works. Can't wait to get my tank during this week!

Good luck man. Just don't rush. Its not brain surgery. But its still important to get it right.

For extra good luck...Stay at a Holiday Inn the night before.
