CO
2
is usually not recommended for electronic paintball markers. This is not the case, however with
the Envy
TM
. As long as it is set up properly, the Envy
TM
can function extremely well with CO
2
as a power
source. In fact, because of its extremely low operating pressure, the Envy
TM
has been shown to operate
on CO
2
continuously under heavy re conditions where older design blowback mechanical markers fail.
The use of CO
2
will not damage the seals in the Envy
TM
, freeze or cause damage to its circuit board.
The important thing to remember if using CO
2
is that best performance can be achieved when only
gasseous CO
2
is fed to the Envy
TM
, and liquid CO
2
remains in the tank.
Although the relief valve integrated into the Envy
TM
’s vertical regulator provides the marker with
protection from pressure spikes, those pressure uctuations can cause poor performance, and
temporary blockage of the Envy
TM
’s solenoid valve.
The bottom-line ASA tting on the Envy
TM
places the CO
2
tank at an angle. When the marker is held
in typical ring positions, gravity will keep the liquid CO
2
away from the tank valve, preventing it from
feeding into the marker.
Alternative CO
2
arrangements include placing the CO
2
tank vertically in a pack, and using a paintball
CO
2
remote hose to feed CO
2
to the Envy
TM
. This arrangement not only prevents liquid CO
2
from entering
the marker, but also makes the marker assembly lighter weight.
Anti-siphon CO
2
tanks contain a J-shaped tube that draws gaseous CO
2
from the top of the tank
when it is in a horizontal position. Anti-siphon tubes must be professionally installed, to ensure that
critical safety checks are performed during valve installation. If using an anti-siphon tank, the Envy
TM
’s
stock bottom-line ASA tting should be replaced with an ASA that will place the tank completely hori-
zontal. Anti-siphon CO
2
tanks should not be used with remote hoses.
The bottom-line ASA tting on the Envy
TM
can be removed by unscrewing the two industry-standard
10-32 mount screws holding it to the grip frame. If replacing the ASA, be sure the model chosen
takes into account the type of gas system being used (horizontal for anti-siphon CO
2
tanks, angled for
standard tanks).
