Do you grease the minireg o-ring b4 you twist the minireg on? Also when twisting the minireg on do you turn until tight, and you cannot turn anymore?

I thread it all the way up until it locks in place, but for some reason that turns the bottom at a funny 45 degree angle..
As far as oiling the minireg o-ring at the top I don't see a need to oil it as its not attached to a moving part within the internal workings of the gun.

Plazma we have alot in common. When I turn it all the way snug it also has that weird 45 degree angle.

I doesn't hurt to put a little grease or oil on o rings before assembly. It gives a better seal and stops then drying out.
Make sure you use oil and grease that is safe on o rings.

People say you can use other types of oil and grease besides the Love brand, but I feel like I shouldn't be buying an 800 dollar marker if I can't afford the $5 grease or lube.

I use Love Juice oil (I buy a big bottle for a few quid) but once I've finished my little shringe of Love Grease I'll be starting a big tube of Molykote 33 which I got on eBay. Loads cheaper but still good grease. :secrets:
There are threads on here about which grease/oils to use, search and you shall find my son! :bigok:

Be careful if using a grease that is not specifically designed for usage on nitrile or polyurethane o-rings. Some grease products have solvents such as alcohol in them to act as a carrier and/or to give them better low temperature properties. These grease products will cause the o-rings to break down because of the solvent.
Also I agree that putting a little oil on the o-rings is good idea. Because the o-rings are porous they like to dry up a and shrink some. A little oil will keep them nice and fat and keep them sealing.

I've seen them most of them and personally I don't care. I make enough money that a bottle of lube and a syringe of grease isn't going to kill me, especially considering that you're not buying it after every day of play. The grease you need to buy even less, I think its every 20,000 rounds or there abouts?
So I'll stick with the Angel Love juice, and the Angel Love grease myself.
