this has probably been covered but i was wondering how many clicks can one get out of the a1 solenoid before it goes bad. I'm just wondering because total ive only shot 3 to 4 cases of paint through but i like to turn the eyes off and just click the trigger when im at home. By doing this i have put over 45k clicks on the solenoid :( so i was just curious. thanks

well there is no set number of clicks. But i wouldnt set there and just activate the noid. that very well could damage it. The angel noids are made by SMC so they are pretty good. Alot of our equiment at work uses them and we run or equiment 24/7 and they hardly ever go out. Normally if they go its for the orings on the spool or there was an over volatage from something and it just fries it not to any fault of its own. point and simple they are good noids but dont over kill for no reason. once in a while take a dab small dab of some sythetic oil or some dow 33 and place in there on the spool. basiclly follow your lube and grease guides and all and you should stay good.

LOL, must just be the thing to do when your bored. I just purchased a LNIB A1 from a guy that's claims it never had a single paintball through it (which upon inspection I'd believe), but the counter shows 4100. I can't racking up that many pulls just sitting there lol.

Adds up very fast. I also believe that demo mode will add shots to the counter. That doesn't take long at all to get to 4100 shots in demo mode.

ive gone well over 150k so far and its still shooting clean and crisp.
demo mode doesn't add shots to the counter... it's so that stores can show customers the max ROF without racking up thousands of shots on the counter.

I have over 78k on mine works flawlessly, I just did a recent overhual to clean out the internals and regrease everything still works great.
