- Problems with my omega super charger and how I fixed it with the help of Todd De Orio not Brown of Raptor pneumatics. The increasingly popular ac/dc compressors and the best bang for the buck Yong Heng compressors for those of you who crossed over to the darkside starting out that don’t want to use a hand pump. There are many different brands of compressors on the market. These are the ones I purchased as I talk about the ins and outs of each of these compressors. Here is a link where Todd does a rebuild on the omega compressor

I remember seeing Yong Heng compressors videos popping up when i first started my channel over a year ago. Seemed like they was an amazing deal compared to the way over priced other compressors !
Hey love the Philippines,,, Was stationed in Yokosuka Japan, Navy,,, Later visited Cebu as civilian and small dive place on island Siquijor,, LOVED IT and your country ancestors came from,,,Salamat,,
👋🏾sup brah! Love the Philippines! 🇵🇭 Salamat Braddah 👊🏾😎
Brother I noticed you didn’t run your omega a while to make sure everything was cooled down before shutting off your machine. After spending that much money on a new machine I would follow all the instructions completely, I really appreciate your patience with the company you bought the machine from the Omega is somewhat slow but a fantastic machine may God bless you and many more years of good luck with your machine!
👋🏾sup brah! 🤔I didn’t know you had to let it cool down before shutting it down?🤷🏽 Braddah👊🏾😎
The yongheng is worth a lot more than any other of these compressors. That omega is so complicated that it isn't user serviceable, you'd think that it was made by Apple.
The yongheng is like the AK, built like a tank, simple, parts are readily available, it just works!
The thing I like about the Chinese is that they know their customers (even if they are half way across the world from them). Back when Ted used to only shoot his Matador, we only wished we had what he had. Now companies like Snow Peak make it possible.

👋🏾 that’s why I purchased one of the first Yong Heng on eBay when know body took a chance so I bought one and never looked back 👊🏾😎
My little Benjiman Traveler has been going pretty strong for the last six months. If she lasts a couple years I'll be happy.
I have the “Mighty Midget” aka Yong Heng also and have no complaints. I have found a way to keep it under 100 degrees F. Small cooler with beer and ice, enough water to cover the pump, a fan, and Royal Purple. Amazing value. I don’t mind the cooling system and getting ice once a week or messing with water. For the money and the speed of fill...0-4350psi 6.8 Liter tank 48 minutes straight never went over 96 Degrees F.👍 Great value.
Glad you made this video!, very helpful in making a decsion
There must be a wide variety of quality control in all manufactures. I have a Yong Hang compressor sitting in my shed. I replaced it with an Omega Air Charger because I spent more time fixing it than using it. I have not had a problem with my Omega and it fills way faster than yours.
👋🏾is your compressor the super charger?
@@airgunspestingch.8426 no, it is the base model or entry level Air Charger. Manual bleed valve, no hour counter but, still has an auto shut off.
🤔 mine is working like it did when I purchased it so I have no way of knowing what is fast or slow🤷🏾♂️
Hi from England. When things like this happen, especially when the machine was expensive, it's soul destroying. I bought an airforce one mark 2 for £ 699. I've used it five times and up to yet it's working. I put lots of ice in the cooling water. Best wishes Brother.
I was able to buy 3 Yong Heng from a guy buying Amazon pallets of returns, 3 for a $100 one had a wire unhooked one had a crack in the cover (shipping damage) the last one fond nothing at all works fine, I put two together with a t valve to fill my bottles, just make sure you keep the water nice and cool.
👋🏾sup bruh nice brotha 👊🏾😎
You have to be handy when you buy any compressor because they either break or need oring replacement. I take it the yong heng must have broken its 2nd stage for you to mention it.
Thanks for taking the time to make this very useful video. I like that there are no edits in your videos.
Great video, great information.
Cheap Airgunner
👋🏾 thanks brotha 👊🏾😎
Thanks for the inside view of the omega, Always wonder what they look like inside. I just ordered me the omega trail, 1st time air gunner don't feel like pumping by hand
I'm planning to take 4 of the Yong Heng compressors and and one 240 VAC single phase at 1700 rpm electric motor thru a belt drive and pulleys and turn the compressor 200 to 300 rpm, all water cooled fed to a common plenum into a 98 cu-ft. steel or aluminum tank, like a shop compressor, when the tank pressure drops the compressor kicks on and brings the tank to 4500 psi, so I always have plenty of air for my use as I am making my own line of pistols and rifles, all will be semi-auto with removable magazines.
So that is why the Frankenstein compressor... is needed as I will be using a lot of High Pressure Air.!
Maurice Robberson 👋🏾 keep me posted I would like to see your compressor👍🏾 what rifles are you making brotha 👊🏾😎
Good video brother!!

Thank you for the compliment 👊🏾😎
I got the two cylinder model by Tuxing recently, works great, not as loud as the YH, and is fast... lots of power for my 6.8l tank. It's about 8kg heavier than the YH though.
👋🏾sup bruh thanks for the comment. Compressors are a “roll of the dice” you either get a good one or you get a bad one brotha 👊🏾😎
just got a tuxing double 4500 myself on 4/14/21,,,built air to 1000,,,then NOTHING on the 1st usage...sending me a refund now...
Great video
👋🏾sup bruh thank you brotha 👊🏾😎
Nice one mate. I too have a Omega Supercharger that has stopped working, mine has done 42hours!. I think this is due to lack of use as you said. Going to strip it soon, so thanks for the pointers as to what may be wrong, Not building pressure now.. Anyway nice video and thanks for sharing..Ps Thanks for the links man, very handy for my upcoming stripdown..
👋🏾sup bruh your welcome my brotha 👊🏾😎
If it was me and it goes out again I would make a Yung hang fit in the o mega case and use all the parts that you can off it and if you want to keep it ask way they don't offer viton o rings for it or neoprene o rings they last a lot longer. Probably never have to change again. Great tip video. I my self trying to get parts from the Philippines as we speak. I'm part myself.
The Yong Heng can be bought at Walmart now with a 4 year warranty backed by AllState. Mine is 2+ years old and fills 4 tanks 2Xs a week because my family and I shoot a lot and are supplying air for a bunch of heavy breathers with big lungs. The Omega is nice but as slow as it is may have to run a heck of a lot just to keep us in air. Honestly I don’t think you can beat the Yong Heng for speed and price, parts availability. I mean mostly all the compressors under 2k are made in China anyway, and these distributors are just buying bulk, slapping their label/stickers on them and charging a heck of a lot more for them. Most of these type compressors can be bought from AliExpress and similar sites for several hundred dollars less. Sad to say but true. They are the same damn thing. It sucks but just because these are made in China doesn’t mean they are cheaply made. The hard back version of the Yong Heng is simple, solid, no automatic shut off to go bad. The military had an acronym they used all the time...”KISS”...Keep It Simple Stupid... this applies to the Yong Heng and other things in my life. Less is sometimes more. Just an FYI...Yong Heng means Mighty Midget😂. May not be PC but it is what it is. Great video my friend. Thank you.
Heath Halfhill 👋🏾 agree👍🏾 I have a Yong heng as well. Did a review on my channel first video I did. Since then I have rebuilt it once already on the second stage easy fix. Still going brotha👊🏾😎
I purchased an Omega Air Charger, the no frills model from Air Guns of Arizona on 11-14-20. I reviewed it there as “Grumpaz” on 11-29-20 and updated on 1-7-20, which for some reason didn’t list my name. Fill times and temps can be seen there. Just timed mine with a stopwatch filling the fill whip and the $20 Air Venturi filter on hose end to 4500 psi in 55.66 seconds. I timed the video fill time here at 4 minutes 5 seconds, big difference. I put a vibration activated hour meter on mine when new. A Hardline #HR-8065 that now has 10.2 hours on it. I filled my 75 cu ft tank yesterday from 3000 to 4500 psi in 25 minutes, air tank was 92 degrees F after filling and lost 300 psi after cooling down overnight. I have the original Air Venturi filter on the hose end, still bone dry and snow white. All the water comes out the separator on the compressor. I bought mine after watching Southern Gunners 5 year anniversary videos. No bells or whistles other than auto shut off and no regrets spending the high dollars.
👋🏾sup bruh still have the omega works use it for topping off my tanks. Bought a airtex compressor. Super fast filling and have t looked back since brotha 👊🏾😎
For what it is worth the 220 volt AC Yong Heng compressor does work as it only pulls 6.8 amps, but I have gone through 7 Yong Heng 110 volt AC compressors in less than 3 years and the wiring of the motor keeps shorting out or the wires to the power switch burn in too. one even melted the switch.
I also run 35 degree water, to try and keep the compressor cool, it works for the first 5 minutes then you have to let it cool for about an hour and then you get to run it for 2 minutes at a time with 30 minute cooling cycles, before my last Young Heng dies it took me almost 3 hours to fill my tank to 4000 psi. It never made it to 4500.!
The other issue with the Yong Heng is that it runs so fast it generates a lot of heat and you cannot run it when the temp gets to 60 C. you have to shut it off, or run the risk of burning up the o-ring seals on the piston or seizing the piston in the cylinder, I had a special circuit installed on it's own 20 amp breaker to a 240 volt ac electric heater switch the to a receptacle with 10 AWG wire a max of 6 feet total from the breaker, so power is not the problem it is the cheap wiring they use at the factory.!
Also the Yong Heng runs so hot my Ninja 90 cu-in bottle would get so hot you could not keep you hand on the bottle, and that was a run of less than 5 minutes, and that is not good for carbon fiber bottles no matter the size, I can fill my 90 with my new Omega from zero to 4500 psi and the bottle is just warm enough that I can feel that it is slight warmer than my hand, filling fast will greatly shorten the life of your tanks.
Maurice Robberson 👋🏾 wow 😳 I’m on my second one and I
The only reason why after2.5 years was one of the winding wire shorted out. I’m going on 1.5 now with this one I have. I only use the Yong heng for filling my pcp. My tanks I use my omega compressor brotha 👊🏾😎
Cool.🇯🇵👍
Hi I have the omega compressor and I like you thought it took a long time I'm to get up to pressure I accidentally found out that one of my hoses coming from the compressor to the tank was leaking I've just done the test with the blank in the line 9th and it got 300 bar really quickly so check your Airline coming out of the Omega or replace it and you will find it pumps a lot faster.if it's not the air line then you still have a leak somewhere hope this helps chris from the uk
Christopher Clow
👋🏾Chris and thank you for your comment brotha 👊🏾 like you said I checked for leaks on all the connections points with soapy water in a spray bottle. If a leak is detected I either tighten the fittings and if that didn’t work I use Teflon tape and recheck again. Still feel the the super charger is still slow in comparisons to the ac/ dc and the Yong Heng compressors. Just glad it’s working again👍🏾
If you have heat problems with a compressor you should consider the local scrap yard and employing an old air conditioning system from a small car you should have no problems powering it because it is belt drive so will run off any motor. One of these units is capable of cooling the air before reaching the compressor and removing sixty percent of the moisture, It will also cool the water that runs through the compressor

I purchased an omega turbo about 10 months ago... just this week I got around to opening it and setting it up..First time I try using it and it won't even stay on. The water pump turns on but when it comes to the actual compressor, it fails to start.. as soon as I press the green button, the overcurrent protector goes off or sets off, completely turning the whole compressor off.
Called Todd today, after talking for a bit he will be sending me the overcurrent protector switch to replace... we'll see if that does it.
Good 👍 informative video. Thanks
J Garcia 👋🏾 good luck to you brotha and thanks for stopping by brotha 👊🏾😎
GX is the way to go
👋🏾gx? Brotha 👊🏾😎
I have an air cooled Shoebox compressor. Model F8 with a belt drive.It is slower than I like but,let me tell you it is very quiet. You can stand right next to it while running and you do not have to raise you voice at all talking to someone. I do not like the fact that all communication has to be done over the internet. No phone calls accepted. Been thinking of a Yong Heng for a back up 2nd compressor though. I have four dryer separators in line vertically mounted getting to the tank or rifle. Whichever is last in line.

👋🏾 thank you for the comment brotha👊🏾 like you I too don’t like to communicate over the net. Such as with purchasing a Yong Heng. If you have a problem you have to go back the source of purchase. At least with the omega Todd is in the USA and can call him for advice and parts👊🏾😎
elcues we
yong heng is simple maintenance.
$1900 for a compressor... That's ludacris, bro, a s**t load of money for such a piece of equipment...
Air Rifle Activities
👋🏾 I agree brotha 👊🏾 but what ya going to do when at the time the Yong Heng was not available and aoa was the only one that had a compressor at that time was a bargain😳 or buy a $3000 Davy compressor 😳
Yes, bud, you're right about that... Isn't there a dive shop in your area? Perhaps I'm spoiled when it comes to this - the dive shop is a mile and a half away from my place and they charge $3.5 for a 300 bar fill...
Air Rifle Activities
👋🏾 that is cheap but the dive shops require the tanks to be hydro tested and it’s a half hour hour round trip last time I had a scuba tank filled from empty was $7 and as much as I shoot not worth the drive considering how many pcp I have so I bought a compressor. I’m not short on compressor anymore which is a good thing👍🏾
Great video! Very helpful! Anyone have experience with the Alpha Carette compressor that Joe Brancato sells?
👋🏾sup bruh. My understanding is that there is no parts to fix that compressor? What is the problem with yours?
@@airgunspestingch.8426 Hey Bro, I don't have a compressor yet just doing some research for now as opposed to always going to my local Scuba or Paintball shop.
I rather buy the young hen than the omega it’s faster 6 times cheaper easier to fix and on AliExpress you get all the parts super cheap
👋🏾sup bruh sure you’re right brotha 👊🏾😎
Personally< I use a 6000psi Nitrogen tank set up.It tops off my 97cu ft great White scba tank from 3000-4500 many,many times before I need to swap out the rented Nitrogen cylinder for another fresh 6000psi.Nitrogen is dry,inert gas and i avoid a compressor entirely.I pay $100 a year to lease the steel cylinder and $130 for cylinder swaps.My Airgas location is 8 miles away.The worst part about my set up is the weight of the steel tank to go and do the swap as Airgas will not come do it 4 me because of my residential neighborhood.But a fresh cylinder lasts me about a year or so as I only hunt/pest control
👋🏾 good idea brotha 👊🏾😎
So you can use nitrogen instead of air. Reason in asking I'm hvac tech. I have a van full of nitrogen
@@coreywoods1090 ,yes,you can!Breathing air is in excess of 70per cent Nitrogen! But you will need a way to get it up to pcp pressures such as between 3-4000psi.
My young hen is on the way should be here this week, unless the ali express chick ripped me off
👋🏾 I hope not for your sake! Good luck and your compressor brotha 👊🏾😎
For 1900 Ken there shouldn't be no problams. I was thinking about buying the Omega Tral Charger what do you think of that compresser ken
👋🏾sup bruh! I don’t own one so I can’t comment on it! Heard they are good compressors brudda 👊🏾😎
Did you use that purple ice in it man for that kind of money.......I would have sold it fast just seen this video good video bro they can say what they want about China but the young hang is one of the best for the money I bought one used two years ago and still working great.
👋🏾 this compressor is made in China😳 not worth the price I paid for it brotha 👊🏾😎
Do you also use the external Air Dryer with the Omega Super Charger as well?
👋🏾bruh yes I do. Can be found on eBay or Amazon brotha 👊🏾😎 like subscribe and ring the bell thanks
@@airgunspestingch.8426 Thank you Sir!
Nice job👊.......DEFINATELY should have bought a few more airguns vs. The Omega. Yet, like you mentioned....At the time those were the compressors that were available. Big, fancy looking, and expensive. Go figure. So now you got me looking at one of these Yong Hengs. I do want to follow up with Brothers In Air and ask him how his AC DC oil-less compressor is working for him now that he's used it for a duration. That new studio setup is coming right along!👍
Cornfields- Crosshairs
👋🏾 brotha and thank you for the comment and compliment. Get the Yong Heng and a air dryer system and you are up and running 👊🏾👍🏾
All those compressors are POS, spend the money and buy a Bauer Jr. 4500 air compressor, I did and have no regrets. German made with quality parts and lots of support !!
Funny how all the youtube influencers sell this pump to you as the best thing going but full of issues. yet the cheapo Yong hang can be found for 200 to 300 shipped on ebay and they seem to run just as well if not better
456 123 👋🏾ikr best thing since sliced🍞 ya right😎. Bought the compressor before the Yong heng came out. I started a thread on Gta under. compressors called eBay compressor. When the Yong Heng came out so I took a chance and bought one last count was 70+ pages on the thread I started. Omega compressor works from empty to full like a scuba tank. For topping off tanks guns the young heng all the way. Filling a empty scuba tank have to do it in stages. Had the Yong heng came out when I bought the omega I would not buy an omega compressor when I can buy and still use a Yong Heng now for cheaper and is a good compressor. Easy to rebuild if need be. Best compressor by far brotha 👊🏾😎
@@airgunspestingch.8426 I just ordered the new GX compressor on Amazon its 380 bucks shipped and from the reviews works like a charm for filling guns. I was going to go with the yong hang but wanted the ability to take the compressor to the range and the GX can go any where
Thank you for the video:..With Walmart selling the Yong Heng and the available 3 and 4 year warranty available for them there, do you recommend one of those for a beginner in the PCP world? Thx
julio CS
👋🏾 yes I do brotha wished the Yong Heng was available when I bought the Omega otherwise I would not own the omega today please like subscribe and ring the bell brotha 👊🏾
Ty and just did 👍🏼
@@airgunspestingch.8426 k
My Omega when turning on, the fan and water pump switches on but the compressor switch lights up when I press the switch the compressor does not come on and the light goes off as soon as I release the pressure from the switch. Any help would be gratefully received.
👋🏾sup brah! When you turn the unit on ck to make sure the water is running from the water pump bradda👊🏾😎
@@airgunspestingch.8426 Hi. Water is running however I have removed the valve with the magnet in it that can shut the machine down, fitted the hose directly to underside of water chamber. removed the two black wires that power the valve. I did run a small magnet up and down the valve and switched it on and it worked. however I switched it off to get my 3 liter bottle prepared to be charged. It would not switch back on, I tried the magnet up and down the valve again, still not working, decided to just remove the valve to cure the problem, alas it is still not working. Press the compressor button it lights green till you remove your finger, no compressor coming on.
@@irlightbuilds1768 👋🏾sup brah! 🤔 I don’t have an Answer for you🤷🏽bradda 👊🏾😎
Will the Yong Heng fill my 4500 psi 97cu ft. Great White tank?
👋🏾sup bruh yes but not recommended. It can be done in stages with cool down between stages Brotha👊🏾😎
@@airgunspestingch.8426 Ok thank you
I don't think your omega working correctly, I have the omega trail charger and with the dead head in it gets to 4500 psi in a quarter the time yours take
Update sir…I just purchased a ac/dc compressor on Amazon with a 3 or 4 year warranty. No questions asked, they pay for the shipping, fix or replace at no cost, for 300$ + 35-40$ for the warranty. Money well spent for a backup or mobile air source. BTW that filter is also on Amazon now for 35$, Gold colored and comes with hose and 2…3 stage filters. I hope the cost of our preferred hobbies/way of life, keeps coming down. Personally, I feel the cost of most HPA/Airguns have been excessive for the most part. Paying 2100$ for a LCS SK-19 and 2K$+ and ongoing upgrades that come out every 3-4 months…must have items to keep up with technology for these guns like FX is a royal pain in the ass. We are the guys that support this industry from all angles and the reduction in cost is very welcome. Bang for buck right now seems to be Air Arms, but FX keeps putting out “GOTTA HAVE IT GUNS TOO”! Will we ever have any money to leave our grandkids???🤣😂🤷♂️💯 At least they will have some really cool guns and gear and hopefully a hell of a good time brother. God bless and stay safe my friend.
👋🏾sup bruh “amen” owning 3 Fx guns m3 maverick crown, is the price you pay to have air for our guns! Expensive but boy oh boy is it fun to shoot brudda 👊🏾😎

Did you explain why you go to the Philippines every year? Do you have family there ?

👋🏾 I did not. My spouse is from the Philippines. I’m retired military since I live in Michigan and don’t like the snow and cold 🥶 I head to the Philippines from November to April. Now I’m not able to go back to the Philippines as my 5 year old son started kindergarten🙁 so now I can only go back when he is on summer break.

@@airgunspestingch.8426 That's great man. As far as compressors I started with a supercharger but shortly after I got it a long-time airgunner on GTA was getting out of the hobby and selling all his equipment. I bought a Shelton 4.2 CFM compressor from him so I sold the supercharger.
