If you notice the power supply wire from the converter to the pump get very warm and if you change them out to a larger gauge the compressor not only runs at a higher RPM but the don't get warm any more. I switched them to 12 ga wire and also changed the switch to a 30 amp because the original 20 amp switch melted in the first 10 days of use. Picked up the switch at Walmart for 5$ in the automotive section. All these pumps are very similar, made in China, but have different name brands on them. They all work pretty good when properly used within the parameters they are made for. Don't try and fill any bottles over 700 cc and even then you may need to take a break and allow it to cool down. I try not to push them over 4300 psi. You really don't need to go to 4500 psi. Hope this helps someone. Great video and info. Thank you.

[@alienhouseartstudio8918]

So no SCBA tanks?

[@purduephotog]

I'd opt for water cooling at that point if it would prolong the life- Darn. Should get the thermal camera going.

[@MrCountrycuz]

As an electrician I approve of your tip because you are dead on right. They tried to save some money by buying the cheapest wires they could.

[@JohnBruno-yi1ex]

Maybe that's why my Chinese pos stopped working..??

[@jackmclane1826]

For the wire to REALLY impact pump performance, it must get really hot. Just slightly over hand warm does not have a relevant effect. If it starts smouldering, then yes. You can also think of the 20amp switch and thinner cable as a way to soften the stress on the machine. It essentially reduces the load on the pump. I don't know if it is a bug or a feature. ;) These chinese high pressure compressors are always on the edge of thermal self destruction. Having 10% less rpm can significantly increase lifetime.

My Amazon compressor finally started giving me trouble after 2 years. Filling my 8 pcp Airguns, it worked out well, doesn’t work anymore. When you have one these, big bore PCPs are not easy on them. They will fill to 4500 psi, but it really over works the little compressor, as 4500 psi, is the limit. I probably broke mine. But I had to see the longevity/life of operation on these little units. I’ve used mine probably 100 times. I’m going back to this video, to see what you have changed if anything, done any maintenance to yours, etc, has is broke yet? You know! Maybe a later video on how it’s held up for you! Maybe a long term product review, Idk bro! This was and awesome video! It taught me all about this compressor. Please let us know, in a video, or in the comments! Thanks OTSA! Big shout out to the community! As always! Keep making your videos however the hell you want to make em!

I have only used mine mainly for the small stuff like the Notos, Jet, or more recently the Prospect, Beeman QB Chief, etc. I have used it for my Hatsan Blitz, but only a few times.

Newbie here. 1. How long did it take to directly fill the rifle shown here? 2. How often do you have to change that air filter and is the filter replacement a standard size that you can easily find online to purchase? 3. I notice guys bringing a small looking scuba type tank with them to fill in the field. What size is recommended for that? Thanks

[@OTSA]

Sorry for the delay in responding. It takes about 1 minute or so to fill the Umarex Notos. Changing the filter really depends on how often you use the compressor, but I would say once a month average. And yes the filters are a dime a dozen on Amazon. As for the scuba style fill tanks, this compressor will fill small ones, but it won't be able to handle the larger ones. 580cc max on tank size. That goes for any fill tanks of that size or guns with tanks that size. 🍻

[@murfspop]

Shut the compressor off and let the fan run to cool off the unit . Yes, I have one of these. What sled is that ?

It's by the Allen company. Of course it's nothing like a Caldwell lead sled and significantly cheaper, but it's decent for the price. 🍻

I didn't use my gun for a while and forgot the procedure. I forgot to pull the bolt back. Pumped it like that for 3 minutes realizing the guage didn't change. Bled the line check things over this time i cocked the bolt and the guage moved a little bit but that was it. Did I break something? Hopefully it is fixable.

[@dschenk952]

Thanks, Riddick, as I start looking to transition from the break barrel and pumper rifles, this information is just what I was looking for. While I do like the Notos I'm thinking more traditional with a wood stock and I'm comparing the JTS Airacuda to the Benjamin Marauder. They seem pretty similar, and I'm pretty sure this compressor would handle either. No rush, the dentist is going to install a high quality air rifle in me on Friday, actually he'll be installing the equivalent of several. :)

[@quebecpatriot1874]

who are you kidding here, you think you will be able to settle with just a wood stock rifle? hahahaha the Notos is essentially a snowpeak gun with an extra long barrel...its fun, cheap and hell accurate...as are PP750s, most Kral guns, etc etc

[@eaSTS9]

Get a marauder Pretty much everyone's first pcp gun and can be upgraded in the future to be a serious shooter for target shooting, even in competitions if tuned right, great for hunting, etc. Try to get the model with a Lothar Walther barrel. You won't regret it

[@WrongTimeWatch]

I don't have a PCP or a pump yet. I was planning to start out with a hand pump.

Nothing wrong with that, I have a hand pump too. That's how I started out.

[@claudiuavram1871]

A link to this compressor would help. There's a lot of cheap ones on amazon... What's the point of reviewing something that most won't know what it is?!

[@OTSA]

Because KZbin removed the link, it was originally there.

[@d30gaijin]

Reading the instructions for the compressors I have (No Name, Vevor, & Yong Heng) say to put the filter on the fill hose closest to the compressor, not at the gun.

[@OTSA]

The small 1 1/2" cotton filter cylinder should be at the gun. If you want extra filter protection, then you want a desiccant style filter at the other end at the compressor. Those filters are much larger than the little cotton filters provided with these cheap compressors. The reason those small 1 1/2" cotton filters should be at the gun end is because they trap the moisture better as the air cools. So if it's right at the compressor it's not going to filter as well since the air doesn't have a chance to cool before it hits it. So that's why you would want a larger filter at the compressor end, and the small cotton filter at the gun. No I did not cover this aspect in this video because it's just a review of a cheap compressor that I only recommend using for tanks or cylinders that are 500cc or less in size. But in my experience with this compressor for a few months now, I recommend adding the larger desiccant style filter at the compressor end. You can get a decent one from Amazon for around $15-ish dollars. They come with a lot of extra replacement filters and will last quite a while. That will add a much needed extra layer of protection. 🍻

[@akdm82]

Thanks for the review. I have been considering a cheap Amazon pump. This may do the trick for me. Interestingly, I also do ham radio and that power supply looks just like one I bought for my radios. Based on that, should I assume that pump could also be wired up to a car cigarette lighter adapter? I say that because my power supply like that take 110/220 and converts it to 12 volts and those are the most common ones I see.

[@OTSA]

Actually it comes with a separate set of cables that use your car battery for power. 🍻

[@cornellgarland1182]

thanks for the video . just the name or a link of the compressor?

[@mw3designs]

Been looking at these budget compressors. Purchased my first PCP, and am currently using the hand pump. Its not terrible to pump by hand, but I’m liking PCP and will probably move up from my budget rifle. How long did it take for the compressor to fill your gun?

[@OTSA]

It really depends on the size of the tank on the gun. At maximum, this compressor can handle a 580cc tank. I say that because anything bigger and it could potentially overheat, and you will have to shut it off and wait, then back on again in order to avoid overheating with tanks larger than that. The Hatsan Blitz, which is a 580cc tank, takes about 15 minutes to fill from empty to full. After that first fill, it's around 8 or 9 mins to fill simply because you never want to run them completely empty. As for smaller tanks like the Umarex Notos or the Hatsan Jet, those take very little time to fill, at around a minute or two max. So very quick for filling those. Hopefully that gives you an idea on both the low end and high end of how much time it takes to fill. 🍻

[@WalnutandSteel]

Does it come with a cord to hook to a car battery?

[@OTSA]

Yep sure does Nibs. Of course I failed to show that lol

[@whitenoise2998]

Great Vid, packed with lots of useful info👍 Any rough estimates on how long this would take to fill a 500cc tank??

[@OTSA]

First initial fill on a 500cc takes about 12-15 mins, then after that about 8 -10 mins to top off as long as it's not too far down in the red. The Hatsan Blitz is a 580cc tank and it fills it no problem.

[@DA-jw6nm]

no data on pump. FAIL.

[@staythirsty909]

Just a question, Can the air stay in the pcp Notos when not in use. Air compressor is not a bad deal comparing that to $500 I will listen to the noise.

[@OTSA]

Yeah you can leave the air in. It's actually better to always keep enough air in it so that it doesn't drop too far below the green range on the gauge. Once it's down to the edge of that green, I usually like to go ahead and top it back off so that the needle is up to the edge of the green on the full side. Definitely never fill the gun past that green range on the gauge. You can go up to the edge of it, but stay out of the red. The green area is your friend 😎🍻

[@AirgunJohnny]

I have the same exact pump. I cannot figure out what is going wrong. It works and I also got the 3 year warranty, my issue is it will not fill any of my air slingers over 3,000 psi. I have tried even filling 3 times to reach 200-250 bar but I can never get there. Any ideas?

[@MrRyanmcmahon]

Mine just stopped working all together after about 2 years. The pump and fan simply don't turn on at all. Any advice.?

[@OTSA]

That's why I stress the 3 year warranty. I hate to say it but it would cost more to repair it than to just buy a new one. At the price these are, I would just outright replace it, or save up for a Benjamin compressor. Even then, I stress getting the warranty. These things can be fickle, even with the brand name stuff.

The difference between a good pump really just better cooling and a airr filter system. Quick tip if you want it a lot more quieter change out the fan to a brush less motor computer fans of the same size and more fans or cooling the better because when it does get hot it's hard to cool down and ruff on the pump you can add a filter so there no moisture going in the air tube that about 300$ difference lol🎯💯🛠️👍👌✌️🍻

[@miekjr8929]

My umarex gauntlet.25 cal is not building pressure on this air compressor I need help plz😢

[@OTSA]

Is it the first time filling the gun? Sometimes these PCP guns need a quick burst of pressure to set the seals and start taking air. The compressor isn't a quick enough burst. A hand pump, or getting someone with an air tank to just hit it with a quick couple bursts should set the seals, then you're good to go with your compressor. I'm just learning about these PCP guns myself, and this is something I'm recently finding out with these. Does it sound like any air is escaping? I know it's a silly question, but is the air release valve on the compressor closed all the way? Let me know. Hopefully we can figure this out for you

[@davidmartin1093]

Would that separate power supply make this thing longer lasting then a self contained compressor? And do you just hook up that power supply to any plug in your garage?

[@OTSA]

Yeah it plugs into any standard electrical outlet. The wiring you see coming off of the power supply is already hooked up from the factory. All you will need to do is plug it into the compressor, and then plug the power supply into the electrical outlet. It also comes with a set of wires and clips to hook it up to a 12v car battery if you are out in the field and need to use it. I don't think it matters if the power supply is separate or built in. I guess one benefit is the power supply won't get as hot since it's separate. Otherwise I don't think it's going to matter either way.

[@pricelessppp]

@@pricelessppp If you're uncomfortable with the PCP aspect, then there's nothing wrong with that. The Seneca Dragonfly MK2 is a great air rifle. It's a little harder to pump than an 880, but the effort to pump doesn't get any harder with each pump, it requires the same effort regardless of how many pumps you put into it. I haven't tried slugs in it, so I can't speak on that, but I can tell you it's a really nice rifle and I'm sure it would fit your needs.

How long did it take to fill up?

[@OTSA]

An empty 500cc tank takes about 10 minutes to fill with this. 500cc is the max size tank you can fill with this compressor. However the smaller 50cc-100cc tanks take only a minute or two to fill. So it's really nice for the PCP pistols/carbines with the smaller tanks. That's mainly what I would recommend this compressor for.

[@garyreiser2954]

How is it holding up and how often are you using it?

[@OTSA]

It's been doing its job just fine so far. It gets used regularly at least two or three times a week and multiple fills in one day. Mostly guns with smaller cylinders, but also one with a 580cc cylinder. Hatsan Jet - 1 minute to fill Hatsan Blitz - 8 minutes to fill Umarex Notos - 1 1/2 minutes to fill Benjamin Marauder prod - 2 minutes to fill. I did buy and add a secondary desiccant filter that I have at the compressor connection, while the small one that it comes with is at the gun connection. Just a precaution to keep the moisture down in the lines due to high humidity in my area. It has never overheated or even come close to overheating yet in any instances that I've used it, and that's even with multiple uses in one day. I make sure to keep it in a cool environment when filling though which helps obviously. The fan on this is an absolute beast and does a great job at keeping the heat down. But the price you pay for that is that it's LOUD lol.

[@josephsaucedo8691]

For that new air gun I would have to ditch the fill prob and drill and tape a 1/8 hole in front and screw in a 1/8 foster fill fitting and just use the paint ball fill cover for a cap that way I won't loss it or forget it and can't find it LoL 🎯💯👍✌️✌️

I can not afford to buy any junk and I hope you can save me some heartbreak and misery.

[@OTSA]

Well I can't guarantee anything as I'm not the manufacturer, I can only tell you my experience with mine. It's been running good for well over a year now, but I don't try to fill any tanks above 500cc. It's PERFECT for the smaller 40cc - 200cc tanks. That's really the size it's made for. It can handle the 500cc ones, but you have to fill in stages. Fill for a few minutes, turn it off and take a break, then fill again for a few minutes, etc until full. This just ensures it won't burn up the pump trying to fill a large tank like that. For the smaller tanks though, like the Hatsan Jet, Umarex Notos, even some of the smaller Beeman rifles, it fills those up in just a couple minutes tops. Perfect for those. 🍻

Mine has yet to even get really hot, and that's when filling all 3 in a row. The Blitz takes 15 minutes to fill, and the other two take about two minutes. It can fill all 3 right in a row and still not get over 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Maybe I should play the lottery because I got lucky with mine I guess 🤷 That really sucks you've had that many issues.

@@OTSA Hatsan does not manufacturer compressors, they rebranded them.

[@OTSA]

At one point sure, but HatsanUSA does in fact now manufacture them....in China. This is a TactAir clone, of their previous model with the separate power supply. Amazon provides protection plans of up to 3 years. Buy a protection plan with it, they are inexpensive. Then you will have 3 years of full replacement power if it ever comes down to that. This isn't some high dollar investment, it's a couple hundred dollar cheap compressor. You get what you pay for my man. 🍻

I have this one bought it April 2022 it gave out in November 2022 .Warranty i called about no response from manufacturer.Just bought another compressor with 3 year warranty

[@OTSA]

The warranty is through Amazon's Asurion. They have to replace it free or refund your money when it's through them, AFTER the manufacturer warranty expires. The manufacturer warranty is 1 year, but if it fails in that time frame Amazon still has to replace it if the manufacturer isn't responding. You have to contact Amazon and tell them the manufacturer doesn't respond, that you also bought the 3 year warranty, raise a little hell over it and they will replace it. Even though it says the Asurion warranty covers mechanical failure after the manufacturer warranty expires, you can still get them to replace it. Especially if the manufacturer doesn't respond. That's unacceptable. If it's after the manufacturer warranty then Amazon/Asurion replaces it and you shouldn't have to fight with them over it. I've had a few items from Amazon that I've had to deal with over this situation, and I've always been able to get an item replaced or refunded. Sometimes you have to get a little frisky with them, but it works.

@Off The Shelf Airguns Warranty is for my new compressor I just got 2 weeks ago .I'll definitely contact Amazon and seller again

[@OTSA]

Well if the old one broke back in November then it might be too late to get them to do anything. Unless they are still unaware? If you had the 3 year warranty on the old one, then definitely raise hell with em'. If you didn't, it will be harder. But for this new one you bought, just keep after them if anything happens.

how long does it take to fill the gun?

[@OTSA]

It depends on what gun it is. If it's an Umarex Notos or a Hatsan Jet, Beeman Chief, etc then it only takes a minute or two. However a gun like the Hatsan Blitz will take a good 10 minutes or more.
