Hi,

i own a LED and i was wondering what those little holes on top of my angel are.
I saw some pics of (cobvra) LED's and they had small tubes/hoses in it that lead to, or into, the hopper.
Can anyone tell me what these are for?
Feedring balls quicker perhaps?

thx

those tubes are exhaust from the 14-way...In the Adrenalin Angels this exhaust is channeled via cocker lp tube down into the feed neck to SUPPOSED help feed paint faster. Its called the 'air assist'.

The effectiveness of the air assist mod still remains to be seen...it DEFINITELY looks cool though!

The only benefit to the air assist really is if you have your gun at an odd angle and it gives them a little extra push down the tub.

the tubes also make it quieter being as all the air that is usually shoved out the top is "recycled"

it does help. it helps push the balls into the chamber insteead of relying on gravity. it allows you to tilt your gun on the side and still have a fairly reliable way of feeding your gun without going to warp feed or halo

vaccuum assisted feed accomplishes the same thing.
