Yong Heng Killer!? What???

Could this be the Yong Heng killer? Seriously, probably not for everyone, but it has taken over a LOT of my high pressure air work around the shop. Light, portable, and most importantly, pretty darn durable. I can run it off my truck, the AC outlet in the shop, and yep, even my Honda Quad, with some special modifications. Some of the marketing is over the top, but I think they have a pretty neat solution for the cost conscious airgunner.

You said 'Chinglish' lol When I was stationed in Okinawa, we called it Engrish. Hey man, your channel is by far the best 'find' on YT since I started following all the airgun gurus and forums. So helpful and thoughtfully done. I really appreciate your approach and style. I'm fortunate to have a friend in a HP cylinder maintenance shop that can fill my carbon tank with NI, but I'm seeing the convenience of a pump now. I'm on board for the GX, when that time comes, I'll use your link.

Thank you Matt!

[@Biffo1262]

I keep my Yong Heng far cooler using open circuit cooling. Run hot water to waste and keep your donor bucket topped up with cold water with a hose trickle. Mine runs 20°C cooler. No more hot oil smell. I've been running it 3 years now. It cost me £134 UK delivered and has paid for itself twice over. It's amazing how many of you shooting friends start to call and just happen to have their air bottle with them on their way to the dive shop....detour via my house! I charge them half what the dive shop charges as they aren't putting service hours on my compressor for free. If they want free air they can use my hand pump!

[@TargetForge]

Good on you! running a waste water cooling system here in California raises quite a few issues. It is actually possible to run a pump or engine too cold for the tolerances and lubricants used, not that Yong Heng is the last word in actual "Engineering". I've got an episode planned where i double the area of the radiators, will be fun to see what that does. Keep those pellets flying!

[@JudahMaccabee_]

Hey, hand pumps have a service life too you know!

[@TheLovedr79]

I have a GScx2 pump, I LOVE IT. I've been using it for over a year now. I put a fan blowing on it, I fill a 60 minute and a 45 minute tank. Run it until it gets to 130f. Bleed it early and often.

[@arthurwomack843]

I’ve been using this same compressor for about 18 months with zero problems. I even top up my 100 cf bottle with it by running the comp for 10 minutes with a 5 minute cool down period then repeat for as many times as it takes. Thanks for the video Bill!

[@theshrubbarber5331]

Do you think this would fill a large spare air scuba bottle? Would you trust the filter system for that with regular filter replacement?

[@TargetForge]

@@theshrubbarber5331 Welcome to the channel. This unit is NOT designed for filling large tanks. Half a liter is right in the sweet spot. How important are healthy lungs to you? I would never use a budget priced compressor for air that will touch one of the most sensitive, and vulnerable tissues in my body. A grade D breathable Air filter is no joke, and they "could" filter the output of just about any compressor, but they are not cheap, but hospitals and funerals are not cheap either. www.airsystems.com/index.php/45-pline/grade-d-filtration I presumed you where filling a SCUBA bottle for diving? If not ignore the second part of that. The first part still stands. I know there are folks doing ten minute cycles to slowly fill a large bottle, but that could take hours of your time and would be done better with the right tool. It's meant for filling sub 1 liter vessels, it does that well.

[@theshrubbarber5331]

I’m just learning about things right now. My bottle is a 1 liter size I believe. I’m just planning on basically using it in a pool not deep dives or anything. I appreciate the info about the filters. My next question is would a hand pump be safe to use for breathing air? In the instructions is says you can fill the unit with a hand pump, small compressor, another larger scuba tank, or at a dive shop? I assumed since this is an oil less compressor it’s air output would be clean. Thanks!

[@TargetForge]

@@theshrubbarber5331 I've never seen a pump in this space actually say they can deliver Class D breathing air, with test data to back that up. To me, making assumptions about the output of something that you are going to put inside you seems REALLY sketchy. I can tell you I would not do it as a way to save some money. The dive shops and many fire departments have thousands of dollars invested in equipment that is meant for delivering safe, breathable air, see if they can help you.

[@JC-lf8pr]

I have had the GX CS3-I for a year now. I target practice in my backyard roughly 3 times a week with two rifles 250 shots a time. I can tell you this unit and my friend who has the GX-CS2 has been so much better than the hand pump or the hassle of getting your bottle filled for 2 weeks of shooting for me. These new style PCP designed compressor units coming out now are more convenient. If your gun is getting low hook it straight up and you are done charging is 7 minutes for my Benjamin Marauder rifle. I know of some on youtube that fill small scuba tanks and my friend has tried this but my recommendation is fill straight into the gun. If you do that you will have very little condensation to contend with and these units will last a very long time. The cotton filters supplied heep the moisture out pretty well and my filters are never very wet but I added some redundancy with another in line filter off of Amazon Creation Core in line water, oil filter and I can tell you I have had no issues and almost no water. Last recommendation is to buy from his link but make sure and buy off of Amazon, and get the additional 3 yr warranty for $39. Its a no brainer, just in case.

I just bought the cs3 on Amazon and I love it so far . I have the yong hang and had it fouryearswithout any problems I just use it to fill guns not tanks and I love it to I think the trick with yong hang is not to run it too long at a time and keep up the maintenance on it . Now the cs3 I just got I bought it to take it on the road so I could hook it up to my Jeep worked great takes a little longer but it works great I’ve had it for five months with no problems at all I would recommend this compressor it’s a good one so far .

Thank you for your comment T. I've walked both paths, had bottles for years, and will likely continue to use them in some capacity. Once that bottle gets down to your reg pressure, your shooting is over until you return to the Mothership. That little red compressor may take 6 min to fill a gun, but it can do it over and over and over. It works on my truck, my shop, and my Quad, or any other 12V vehicle that might be nearby.

Hello TF, greetings from Peru!!... I've just watched your video and after did it I felt happy for my desition. Recently I was so close to buy a YongFeng, but someone talked me about the CX. Last week I bought one in Amazon, and now I'm waiting at home for its arrival (next Wednesday in Lima). I liked your video, it was useful for me specially all your tips. Something I would like to ask you is if you can give me information to add the same extensions as the one you have, I mean, the additional filter plus the larger hose. I want to buy the same to have a better protection when filling my rifle. Thanks...

[@TargetForge]

The filter is the one that came with unit, you should get one too. The extra hose whip can be found here: amzn.to/3K4RWZS Good luck! Hope yours works as well as mine! If you are interested in the 3D printed parts I added to mine, those files can be downloaded for free and printed by someone in Peru. Would be really cheap that way. I think you only need that stuff if its going to be transported a lot, like I do on the back of my ATV.

[@antonio999us]

Hello TF, thanks a lot for your reply. I already ordered the additional hose. I’m sure that I’ll have the same experience as you do with this CX. Once I get it, I will let you know how I do…. Have an excellent week.

People have been having great luck with royal purple premium oil that has significantly reduced the carbon buildup on the Piston as well.

The CS3 is the same as the CS2 with questionable electronics added to stop it automatically. The electronics on the CS3 fail all the time. The CS2 is simple, more durable, and cheaper, that is why I advocate it. Hope this helps!

I have a yong heng compressor you didn't answer my question about the compressor oil if it would hurt the unit thank you for your help and information

[@TargetForge]

Well Steve, I didn't answer your question because I have no data to support one argument or the other. Much of the anecdotal information available does not take into account the Yong Heng. The manufacturer says use one oil, some other guy says, no use this oil it's better. Without actual empirical data I'm challenged to answer your question. I know how to test it, and get an answer, but that test requires at least two new pumps, and this channel is not making the kind of money to support that test at this time. I hope that soon I can take on tests like this to test some of the ideas being passed around. Oil has been in my sights for some time. Remember, just because it says compressor oil, does not mean 4500psi compressor oil unless indicated by the lubricant manufacturer. If Bauer or Alkin specified an oil for use in their systems that MAY apply here, but even that is conjecture.

[@adrianparache]

You have to use hydraulic synthetic ISO 100 oil, Mobil makes the rarus 427 compressor oil, it will work well on yong hengs.

[@TargetForge]

@@adrianparache Do you have real data to support this demand to use an oil NOT recommended by the manufacturer? I'm not saying this isn't the best oil since sliced bread, but I've also never had a compressor fail due to advanced wear. If you have data, on Yong Hengs, not some manufacturer marketing stuff, but actual data on Yong Heng units, I'd love to see it.

[@adrianparache]

I’ve been using yong heng compressors for a while, and have done a lot of research regarding to what type of oil to use, the manufacturer recommends AW 46 hydraulic oil, problem is it will cause carbon buildup on the secondary piston which will ruin your piston rings, I’m just sharing my empirical information.

[@TargetForge]

@@adrianparache Really not trying to be a PITA, honest I'm not. What you are presenting seems like anecdotal evidence? I really want to put some oils to a head to head test, and I've heard of the carbon theory before, but to date, no one has presented actual data one way or the other. I've run a clone for three years on the cheapest Type 46 I could get, low pressure piston failed due to fatigue. Checked every wear item in the unit and it all looked great, except that huge crack in the piston top.

[@TargetForge]

I can tell you that the notion of "clones" or "copies" is a bunch of made up information folks came up with in the absence of the truth. There are two, maybe three ACTUAL manufacturers in this space located in China. Yong Heng is a brand, Topa is a brand, they order branded units from the same source and depending on their price and option negotiations, you are getting much the same parts. A brand CAN order different options, or "better" parts in some cases, but most of this stuff comes out of the same building, from the same hands. Regarding upgrading the filter, no I do not. You won't see oil because there isn't any. If you are filling guns directly, the cotton, if changed regularly, does just fine. Take the wet ones out, let em dry, put a dry one back in. When they get funky throw them away and you'll be fine.

It's not really meant for filling bottles. It's intended to fill the gun directly. Consequently I have no data on a fill of a container that large.

[@TargetForge]

It would appear that you might be buying stuff before you learn what you need and how to use it. To learn how to fill a PCP airgun there are TONS of really good videos on KZbin. Those specs you have quoted seem REALLY low, if they are accurate you might want to return them and start over. What airgun are you looking for? Maybe we could start there?

[@TargetForge]

Looks like maybe you are into paintball or airsoft? These compressors can go quite a bit higher than much of that equipment. Hand pumps vary quite a bit on quality vs. cost. One that lasts will cost more, most of us that fill to 4500psi only use a hand pump once, and we are cured.

[@-Cutz-]

@TargetForge yes paintball but less lethal since owning a real gun is a crime for me since I am a felon in my record sadly and cali bans my firearm rights forever now. But these paintball guns can be modded so high it has a super hard impact up to 100 joules. And well the one I can't mod is a .43 paintball can't be modded really but the first point of defense is just letting the attacker see the gun and he or she will stop maybe. If they have their own gun I ain't doing shit might as well just rob me. But these other ones I'm ordering will be modded very high enough to def drop an attacker. But I'm gonna need to keep filling the air tanks.

@@TargetForge good deal. Looking forward to seeing your review on it. It doesn't hold water???

[@TargetForge]

@@bigfranksworld The compressor holds water just fine, the marketing claims DO NOT.

[@bigfranksworld]

@@TargetForge ahhh, gotcha

[@sjason3205]

good.

[@TargetForge]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Iheartmyson]

I finally got it delivered. Without the converter 🤬. And a red wire sticking out the bottom. I already asked about both problems to the Chinese seller. The advertising clearly saus and shows it comes with the converter So i use 220Volt (i am in Holland). Wnd I hope hé can tell me where the bleep this loose red wire belongs. Its so dissapointing when you wait so freaking long for it. And then it misses a very imported part plus this loose wire touching metal under the red "hood"

[@TargetForge]

I can see how you would be disappointed Ralph. Hopefully you bought it through Amazon so you have some protection through them. It sounds like you got someones return, and not a new unit. I can tell you the AC power supplies I have received have a simple switch on the side that allow the user to select 115VAC/220VAC. If that red wire is ~12AWG it likely goes between the circuit breaker and the motor and should be a pretty easy fix. Check out my video on installing an hour meter as I clearly show that area, and how that wire is attached. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIK7enyGhc1-pc0

[@Iheartmyson]

@@TargetForge I bought it on Aliexpress. Their customer service has been very good. But its now night there, so i wait. And thank you for the tip of the red wire. My on/off switch "sits" in the Black metal bottom part. In your video its in the red hood. i have the motor out and i will screw out the on off switch, to see if it maybe belongs there . Thanks so much for the respons. And from now on I use Amazon! I recently bought some fly fishing line there. Before, I thought Amazon only delivered to America(haha). I will make this unit work one way or the other. Cheers.

[@TargetForge]

I'm not sure why you think the circuit breaker in my video is any different than yours. Did you actually watch it? It is defiantly in the lower black sheet metal.

[@zookr]

You didn't show how to hook up the air filter to it -

[@josephkool8411]

Yong Heng makes my grandaughters toy tank. Im looking for a pcp compressor. I'm confused

[@TargetForge]

Not really sure what you are confused about? If you need a compressor and don't want to lug a large bottle around, use my Amazon link and get a GX CS2 or CS3.

[@josephkool8411]

Is it the same company? Oh and I bought the cs2 is it any good?@@TargetForge

[@cmattingly5033]

Love his info but I hope he starts using that hand pump some more so he can give us videos for longer

[@TargetForge]

While I can see your sentiment here, making thinly vailed "fat jokes" in a video comment to a man who has survived a stoke, lost a ton of weight, put a bunch of it back on due to severe depression is probably not a meaningful use of your time.

[@garythompson8867]

@Target Forge I hope your depression has lessened some. I have delt with anxiety and sme depression as well. Slowly improving, and one reason I'm getting back into air rifles. Your videos have inspired me to not only get My BSA Lonestsr out of mothballs , but purchase the compressor. Thanks for all you do.

[@JudahMaccabee_]

Sub'd for excellent channel and content.

[@steventhompson3507]

None of those stages will make the air suitable for filling pcps in the long term, water in your airgun cylinder will be the long term result.

[@TargetForge]

I cover this in quite a few places, you are correct, as supplied those "filter" are really quite useless.

[@deaczorz]

2 stage lol

[@cmattingly5033]

I don’t understand, if you’re gonna spend that much money on that little one why not just get the better one when you said smaller I was assuming it was a cheap good price it’s the same price as the good ones so it should be good lol

[@TargetForge]

You obviously have a very different idea of what "better" is. If you are comparing the CS2 to the CS3 the CS3 is NOT better. The electronic on that unit fail all the time, biggest selling part I stock. All you get on a CS3 is less airflow for cooling and a pressure set function that will fail in time. CS2 has the same pump, is simple and robust and MUCH easier to maintain.

[@jaydubay9439]

Don't buy the FX until parts are available, Unless you want a $300+ Door Stop!!!!!!!!!! Their 1 year Warranty sucks

[@TargetForge]

So I should not buy an airgun until parts are available...Check. Whose 1 year warranty sucks? GX? I have had MANY viewers get their machine replaced when purchased on Amazon as I recommended. I am sorry if you have had a negative experience. Do have a pleasant Holiday Jay!

[@phillipsharpe6459]

No longer on Amazon ,

[@TargetForge]

I just checked the link in the description and it was active and in stock.

[@phillipsharpe6459]

@@TargetForge not in the uk it isn't, 😁👍

[@TargetForge]

Hmmm, sounds like your sentence was incomplete... Don't know that it was ever available in the UK. Does anyone know?

[@phillipsharpe6459]

@@TargetForge there is a similar one for sale on Ebay 😁👍
