I have a new Electron gun. I’d like to use these hoppers. I bought one from Columbia Coatings. Looks similar to yours. Curious what pump you are using with your one pound hopper. At first glance it didn’t look like the Electron pump would fit into the fitting on the top of the hopper I got.
The electron air hose fittings are keyed so they can’t be installed wrong. Not sure where to get more so I can just use the electron hose quick connects with someone else’s pump.
Appreciate any info you can provide. Thank you!!
Thanks for the comment. I am using the pump that comes with the system from Electron. I'll leave the link to the hopper in the comments as well as the description. First in finshing also sells all of the quick disconnects.

What air pressure are you running to the 1lb hopper? I have had no luck with the fluidizatiin on my electron. It either stops putting out powder in the middle of spraying or pushes all the powder out of the gun from to much pressure. You dont seem to be having any of those problems in any of your videos.
I Start with the regulator all the way off. slowly..and I mean slowly turn it up until you start to see air streaks through the powder. this is with the lid off. I have a stirring stick I use to agitate the powder. Should look like slightly simmering pasta sauce. Just the occasional bubble. It takes very little air pressure. It really doesnt even hardly register on the gauge. I do a quick trigger pull to check and back off if I need to. This has worked well for me. I have puked quite a few hoppers of powder onto the floor from too much air pressure.
@@mlc_fab Thanks for the quick reply. Watching your videos is what made me buy the electron setup over other brands. I haven't tried adjusting air pressure with the lid off, I'll give this a try.
