Just got mine delivered today and it has a temp gauge on the side. Must be a new update. Pretty cool. I don’t like how you need wrenches to undo the inline filter though so I did buy the additional filter you recommended and will mainly swap those out more often than the smaller in line one.
Finally able to order one! It should be here wednesday and I can't wait to use it. Thanks brother.😊
I love this compressor. The automatic off feature is well worth it
My first air cooled compressor didn't last very long I had to order a new piston. After installing the new piston I lubed all metal contact parts every 100 fills been running great for over a year no problems & most of my pcps are 4500 psi.
just ordered one couple of days ago cos of this video.. mi amigo here seems to be a real man who knows about it.. lets see... Thanks B
props if you used my link, homie! Let me know if you run into any questions once you start using it.
Great video. I have something similar. I use it to fill my Maverick 25 and my airsoft tanks.
I bought a Vevor, broke in u der a year, then gor a Hatsan Hatsan Spark. The Spark was almost 2x as much, but on the inside, they are absolutely identical! Thanks for video brotber, this compressor seems to be a little better than the rest! Also, thank you for all the links! That Tuxing bottle is a steel, for sure!
Yep absolutely identical! I have several of that style from several different companies and they are all the same internally.
Took your recommendation and ordered one along with air filter from Amazon. Hope it performs as good as you say.
Thanks if you used my links! I've actually got 2 of these compressors now and the both do great even with my constant, consistent abuse!
1 of these would look great permanently mounted inside my Jeep , pretty quiet too!
That would be amazing! And you totally could do that, given it runs off 12V as well as 110.
CTAirgunner: Pimp My Ride edition
Got the quick fill plug and used it on both my FX bottles .. no issues (KOW) haha
I did read, one comment in a more recent thread. Dont know if true or not. That FX changed the design of the bottles valve making it more robust. That plus I believe people mostly had the issue with the fill adapter used a scuba tank where the quick rush of air reverted the seal o-ring (and it leaking out all the air)
I used a shoebox compressor like the one in this video and had no issue.
thanks
Thanks for the bleeder tip at da end😊
Thanks for actually watching to the end! I put some decent effort into this one to try and be as detailed as possible for y'all :)
@@airshootist you are 1 of the top notch creators..i just released a vevor video. I gotta step up my game😂😂
Aww thanks, man! You're better at editing than me. I use just a cell phone, a wireless mic, and some free software to edit. Prior to starting the channel I had never ever even touched video editing software. My whole deal is I am just a regular guy using what I have to do what I can!
You're off to a good start ! You got me again EX 🍕 boy !
Hey Lou did you get a chance to look at my email to you yet ???
Good morning!!
gm, fren!
A compressor for each gun u have!! I like those odds. Someone needs to send you a compressor for tanks.
Dude 100%! I am trying to figure out a way to run like 4 tanks at once to fill my big tank quickly... lol. If I figure that out - expect a hilarious/dangerous video of it!
I think your better off buying a compressor like this with just a manufacturers name on it verses say from an airgun supplier where you end up paying several hundred dollars more for the exact same compressor. These type of ac/dc compressors are really starting to come down in price too which is great. More people in this sport the better. Amazon has one currently under 200$ so that’s pretty cool for the new Airgunners low on cash. This compressor is a steal for 300$💯👍
Couldn't have said it better myself, Heath! You're spot on with this comment and I'm also glad to see these coming down in price.
Sweet looking compressor. Just my opinion but with only that little cotton filter I think you are pumping more moisture into your gun than you think. I also see it doesn’t look like that hunter compact is tuned for 20 ft/lbs anymore. 😊
I linked a bigger/better filter with actual desiccant in the comments/description. I always use that for bigger tanks. Surprisingly, when I rebuilt the Panthera I did not find 1 inkling of a clue denoting water in the gun. Everything was super clean and not rusty, including the steel valve spring. And I had mostly been filling it with just the small filter. I don't disagree with you, really, and you should use the big filter, but the small one is actually not bad on a budget. It definitely collects water that would otherwise go into the gun
Hi sir please i hope you don't mind me asking but please which compressor would you definitely recommend for quality and value for £. THANKYOU take care 🇺🇲✌🏼(SORRY I WATCHED TO THE END) THANKS
@6:20 is a good view of the compressor pressure gauge and it shows a green line between 100 and 200 bar with the red line starting at 200 bar. Any idea why the red line is so low? (and - yes, if that's ordinary it could be a clue that I'm a newb in this subject)
So those of you here that have purchased one of these are happy with it?I went to buy it last week after watching this review and had 2 star rating on amazon so figured i would wait until i hear a few more reviews.
I've used mine around ten times to fill and or top off my Marauder. So far so good for me. I did purchase the four year warranty to hedge my bet.
I just tempted fate by filling a 6.8L tank to 4500psi. I did it incrementally and it was no problem. I'm super impressed with this unit.
@@johnod2417 thanks👍🏼
@@airshootist Thats pretty damn impressive!I’ll just go ahead and pull the trigger and get the warranty like the other guy said.thank you for responding
you won't regret it. Remember you've covered for 30 days by Amazon itself, after that the warranty (total no brainer) will cover ya. Thanks if you used one of my links!
The issue with these type of compressors is not initial performance, they all work great to start, but they tend not to last very long.
I disagree but also partially agree. I do have a few that I have been absolutely beating on for years and they are fine. Have I maintenanced them? Yes. Have I had to do repairs? Sure. I would say generally that shoebox compressors are a disposable product, and the cheat code for that is to buy the Amazon warranty and then you're totally covered.
This new compressor is much more robust than any other shoebox I've seen, in any case.
For the homie
I have the OG (cheap ebay model) compressor that Talon Tunes and then Air Marksmen rebranded but its the same unit....and I always put the filter on the end you have it on (closest to the compressor) but I saw someone recently put the filter on the end closer to the gun.
Do you think it matters?? After giving it some thought I think maybe it is best nearest the gun. I mean why not filter the air right before it goes into the gun?!?! Remove any moisture or filth from the hose.
You think it matters at all????
Dude I have grappled with that exact same question. I honestly don't think it matters but I I have taken to putting it on the compressor side rather than gun side. I feel like it will grab more there and then go through a clean line. Did you notice what I did here? I put the filter on the compressor but then the line going to the gun has an inline small filter which I put on the gun side. Perhaps a best of both worlds scenario? I really don't think it matters, but having one there is obviously superior to not having one!
What's up Warren, I have one of those GX cs4 compressors. You have experience with those? Calls for ph neutral antifreeze. I can't find that. Lol.
Oh man all these little shoebox compressors that I have done reviews on require no coolant (air cooled) and extremely little maintenance. They have graphite piston rings that are self lubricating. Just need to break em open for cleaning every once in a while. Never tried that GX compressor, once time they sent me an email wanting to collaborate and I responded but never heard back. Fingers crossed maybe I'll be able to get my hands on the CS4 at some point and provide some insights!
Candice compressor really fill up 6.8 l tanks
Excitement then Disappointment. Compressor was delivered on a Sunday , imagine that ! However, the unit was missing the 110v Power Connection cables and the Test Plug. Bummer to say the least. Sent an email to the Customer Service Rep in the instruction book unless anyone has another source.
Bummer! Don't worry, though! You can use any PC style plug. I am sure you have one hanging around. I don't think mine came with a test plug, honestly not needed.
@@airshootist No QC tag hmmmm. Pump would not get above 1500 PSI and leak noted. They knew you were coming and I got a lemon. Customer service notified :(
@@banjomanmi76-hu8wf They'll take care of you, no worries. Plus since you got it on Amazon you can just return it for another one super easily.
is this compressor powerful enough to fill up the 75 cubic foot air tank?
Watch the video
Awesome how to buy one
Link is in video description
Warren, Can you use these in a competition or do you need to be tethered to a tank?
Well you would need a power source and honestly even if you had that I'm sure if you used it for benchrest people would get pissed lol. Benchrest usually doesn't allow tethering with a bottle either, but having one at your side is what everyone does. I have used compressors for NRL22 and ran them off my truck but a bottle is a way, way better option for instant air while in competition. Check the links I dropped, both bottles I use are in there.
@@airshootist I took your tip and bought the compressor with your link but, I decided to buy the 90 ci tank from High Pressure Pneumatics. Would love to go up there when he gets the new range completed.
@@brentdoolin4791 This is the way! Thanks so much for doing that and for shopping with HPP. That little ninja tank gets me through an entire NRL22 match with the Panthera. Great piece of kit and easily fits in a backpack.

Love your videos still want a jersey😢. Anyhow I’m gonna order one of these and I want to make sure I use your affiliate link correctly so it looks like I just click on the link and order the one on that Amazon page do I need to put in a code for your channel or anything? Thanks in advance have a great day. Oh and I have a great white tank from joe bran Cato I’d like to try filling it but it does not have the one way foster fitting is there a one way valve I could just attach to my foster? Thanks jason
Firstly thank you so much! All you have to do is click the link in my description/comments and the rest is automatic! You can even click in through any of my links any time you're doing Amazon shopping, add whatever you want to your cart, and it still knows to give me some sort of credit for it. A lot of guys have been doing that and it is really helping out since I do not monetize via TH-cam at all.
As far as a tank without a 1 way valve - I wouldn't do it if it is larger than like 2L. My 6.8L has a 1 way valve that closes ever time the piston in that compressor cycles, which makes it an acceptable thing to do so long as you don't exceed the 30 min runtime.
If you want a jersey, email me at airshootist@Gmail.com and I'll start another list. This time they will not come with a custom name on the back because that costs me $200 art charge ever time I add a name to the template, but it will have the logos and everything else like you've seen and they are superbly crafted jerseys. I'm gonna get another order going soon, possibly with a new background design that has previously been unreleased (except the single one I have!).... ;)
I just realized I didn't answer your question fully about the 1 way valve. I am not sure of a product that is available to add a mid-stream 1 way. You could probably make one pretty easily with some paintball parts, as I have done in the past to fill my SCUBAs
@@airshootist thanks I’ll look into. Right now I’m getting it filled at a paintball shop so I’ll ask them. Thank you and I’ll email tonite re jerseys
I Digg everything you have Talked about concerning this Particular Compressor.
And I’m Considering Purchasing it.
But is it So Different That You Can Start It …. under Pressure ????
Need To Know Please ?
It's a great little unit! I just filled a 6.8L tank with it, incrementally of course, and no problems! You can not ever start these compressors under pressure. Always start from vented and let it build.
Thanks for the Quick Response Bro. 🐿
Well I Purchased the Orcair Thunder Compressor.
And it …. Doesn’t Work !!!!
Wow
It’s Not A Knock On You Brother.
But I Was Absolutely Stunned At What Happened When I Started A Fill.
It Whistles Like A Darn Bluejay,
I’m Very Disappointed !!!!
@@tonycarr1253 Oh no! Good thing you ordered on Amazon and you can just instantly ship it back for free and get it swapped out. Love the buyer protection that Amazon gives ya!
I purchased one of these compressors recently but did not receive the owner’s operating manual as seen in the video. In fact I received no information about the unit at all, not even a warranty card or what ever. The unit is brand new. I contacted Amazon in an attempt to resolve the issue but they were of no help whatsoever. I did spend nearly an hour on the phone with them getting the runaround.
I have also been online trying to locate a website or phone number for Orcair and to date have not been successful… I find this strange. Am I missing something here?
Does anyone have contact information for Orcair such as a web address or phone number?
It seems to be a well built compressor and I would like to thank the gentleman that produced this video for the information he provided in his video.
email me at airshootist@gmail.com and I will literally scan every page of the manual for you
Thank You for your help!

TY
@@airshootist figures i buy it and was looking around for some reviews and lots of people had issues with it screwing up the bottles valve sticking open and dumping all the air. Humas ad says a new oring is included with it. One thing that may work in my favor is the problem seemed to be from people using larger scba tanks to fill the bottle .. the sudden rush of air blows the valve off its seat. I will be using a compressor like yours with a slower fill. Hoping that works for me.
@@airshootistjust realized that tank you’re using doesn’t have a valve like the stock FX bottle. How is it disconnected from the pump and not dump all the air?
First!
Big tanks ? 98 ci is what it clams haha I thought you meant Big tanks as in cf or something of that size I should of known better I have a shoe box for Guns only I use at home and a 74 cf for quick fills in the field I go to the scuba once a month works for me 10 bucks to fill
As long as you have that all important 1 way valve and you let her take a break after 30 minutes you should be good to go! Where you would be in bad shape is if you had like a DIN valve where there is no one-way and your compressor is just fighting the tank pressure. I would NOT do that! Haha
Why does my comment keep getting deleted ??
I don't delete comments. Maybe try refreshing?
@@airshootist I did and made the same comment 3 times ! I guess TH-cam just doesn't like me ! Lol
What …. Happened To (Never) Start a Compressor (Onder) Pressure ???
You …. Said Several Times To Tighten The Bleed Valve …. Then Started The Compressor ?
I never started it against pressure.
