Paintball Ruined My Life that's all that matters. We appreciate it.
I've been using 3 in 1 oil on poppet guns for years. Never had a problem. The 33 is my favorite grease for my gtek. Both are very affordable and last an incredibly long time.
Before storing for off season should use grease ur o rings so they don't dry up and crack or well they be OK till next season

I have a Dye Reflex 11 - last time I played was 2013 so I cleaned and greased my gun before storing not knowing that was the last time I would have a chance to go. Fast forward to this year 2021 and my nephew is old enough to go now. I pulled my Reflex and other Dye guns out inspected the bolt, aired it up and went to town like I just played the week before. Point is the Dye slick lube (pretty sure it's Dow 33) was perfect after 8 years. My spyder "emergency" and friend markers had all their o-rings blasted to bits. All 3 spyders I had needed 100% rebuilds as their lube is more an oil
Oil is recommended on those Bob Long bolt head orings
thanks man i appreciate what you do your vids youre hella helpful. and laughs to keep it up.
Only use the best. Super Lube. Their multi-purpose synthetic grease and oils are the best for orings and paintball in general. It protects orings from friction damage and make them last longer if using co2. If you're using a mech marker that has some metal internals the oil also prevents oxidation of parts. I even use a little bit on barrel and asa threads to prevent them from damage or getting seized up.
How often should you break down and clean your marker ?
You deserve a million subs you are the best

New to paintball, I've been watching a lot of these videos from this channel, very informative, dropped a sub and a like.
Question, DOW 33 sells commonly in two forms, light and medium. Any major differences to look out for? Is one more preferred than the other?
@PaintballRuinedMyLife
7 жыл бұрын
Yeah though about that after I edited this one. Medium is what I always use, it is also what Eclipse and GoG ship.
When I used to play with a DM5, I greased it after each day. But if you put in too much grease, it leaked... Now with my Geos I grease them every five cases or so. Modern spoolies are just way more reliable than they used to be. The GTek runs with peanut butter in a pinch (not recommended)!
you should do one about oil to the other end of the spectrum
Just FYI... You links at the end of the video are not showing up.
Ultra slick
i have a d3fy sport conquest how much of any grease should i put on that
Can you put lubricate to coat paintball balls? Few drops and shake them in bag to get covered around.
Hey bro the guy at the shop sold me a Etha 3M and told me I should clean/re-lube after around 5,000 shots. I went out a week ago shot about 2,500 balls and just cleaned outside of the gun and inside the detents. I pulled the bolt and it was still lubed and did not look dirty with any debri/dirt. Im going out again in a week and am wondering if you think I should clean and re grease before going back out? Or you think I will be fine.
Another good informative vid keep it going Brad 👌
Can you use synthetic
So I have a spider victor what grease do you Recommend or is it even necessary to grease it up
I just got a mini gs and im wondering if i should grease the bolt before i use it for the first time? Also would it be okay just to grease the o rings on my mini gs bolt like you did in the video?

it should already be lubed. Most manufacturers lube the orings before the markers are put into storage to preserve the them
Should i use hatersauce on my gtek? I know there is other greases too just have heard good thing about it
Sup!! my Tippmann Cronus came with very thin oil, and of course the bolt is not removable, but the manual recommends for oil to be applied onto the needle valve of the CO2 tank, so that the oil will be 'sprayed' thru the chamber and arround the bolt...this seems a little odd to me, what do you think? I love this gun...it just shoots! so I'm not too worried about it. thanks for the great videos!

With the Tippmann styles guns, I normally tell people put 3 drops in the ASA (where you screw the tank in) and shoot the gun. Really all you need to do with those guns.

@ashravenpb

feels good in the hands, but doesn't shoot as smooth as the gs and there aren't any bolt upgrades for it. Plus all the o-rings are in the body so they are a real pain to replace. So if you want something that can shoot quickly and feels like a high end then it'll be a great gun for you.
So I have to put grease on all the rings I can find? And do all the bob longs require the same amount of grease because I have a insight NG and I wanna be as careful as possible with it
You way over lubed that gtek bolt

My feeling as well but it's hard to argue with Brad's assertion that the factory seems to do about the same. Then again, I suspect their workers are in a hurry and figure the owner won't do a lube job for some time.

The Gtek is a spool valve marker, so an enclosed bolt system. The Etek in the other hand is a poppet valve marker, where the bolt is part visible, they shoot a little differently but overall I prefer the Gtek, I own one and it's amazing.

If it has been working for you, keep doing what you're doing. The amount of grease is really going to be dependent or the type of grease and gun. You may try applying to more though just to see if the gun shoots any different.

Eh plenty of other markers use this method, just depends on how the guns were designed. AKALP markers use oil exclusively, no grease even in the solenoid.
not necessary to put a couple drops of oil into the regulator ? just grease the bolt?

Don't put oil into the reg in an electro! It can collect into the solenoid and gum it up.
@PaintballRuinedMyLife

Really matters the guns, with the Gtek and Victor in the video, oil is bad. It ends up going into the solenoid and the solenoids are not designed to take the liquid. On regulators you should also be using grease, but they only need fresh grease every 40k shots of so.
@crash86ed
7 жыл бұрын
@Paintball Ruined My Life like you say it does depend on the gun and the solenoid exclusively. AKA excaliburs and vikings used oil exclusively for the entire marker and MAC or humphrey solenoid(s). Right into the ASA, just like an automag, tippmann, etc. The concern with most of them these days is probably that the oil will actually degrade the grease, and once the oil is used up the solenoid would be insufficiently lubricated.

Just keep close to what I used in this video, maybe a bit less. Its not super critical the amount, just not a crazy amount or none.
Love your videos! Quick question. If I put a little too much grease and there is a little bit of a film in the barrel, do I just use a barrel maid to clean it and keep playing or do I need to stop and wipe off and re-grease?
@ashravenpb
7 жыл бұрын
clean the barrel with a barrel maid. Then when you get home just soak the barrel/pods/swab in warm soapy water let them dry, then run your clean, dry barrel maid through it again.
IMO your lubing the bolt too much. Your O-rings should be shiny , but you shouldn't be able to see any lube on it. When you use that much lube then you end up shooting it out the barrel, which is almost as bad as a barrel break. So unless you fire a few shots through it then clean the barrel I would recommend using less lube.
@PaintballRuinedMyLife
7 жыл бұрын
Either way is probably, fine. Taking apart guns from the manufacturers, they all use about as much grease as I did. I don't think I have every experiences so much grease in a gun that it ends up in the barrel and starts shooting all wonky.

The factory adds alot of lube because they dont know how long the marker will sit before its bought and used. Also never lube the front oring on the bolt. It doesn't seal and it will spray lube down the barrel.

Maher Boutari from what he said, PE grease is just Dow 33. Buy a tube of that and you'll be fine. Yep, PE grease is a medium weight Dow 33. I know that's not what you asked, but that's all I can tell you with my knowledge. I have a PE too, and would just stick with the same type of lube/grease because that's what it's been designed/optimized to run
