Nice demonstration and review. I too have 3 of these units and the oldest is 3 years old and running. I too have a similar configuration but recommend that your large filter be verticle with the outlet at the top so gravity keeps solids and liquids on the bottom rather than pushing it along through your media, also be sure to open that vessel and allow it to air dry to minimize any corrosion. One last bit of friendly advice is that the little submersible pump that is provided has a very limited head rating of something like 24", consider upgrading to a pump with a greater head capability with flow rate adjustment. Again awesome video and thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much! Since this video I did some rearranging. First thing was switching the filter vertically. Thanks for the tips and feedback! I really appreciate it!
Hajimoto knows his stuff ive watched plenty of his vids and still debating on getting one of his upgraded umarex gauntlets or getting a armada still on the fence of what i want
Thanks for watching Timothy!! That's why I made the video. When I first started out, I couldn't find a video where they actually filled a gun. Glad it helped you out!
Had my Yong Heng for 3 years and had zero issues,I attached a extra large filter,gold colour cylinder plus fitted a moisture filter to air intake. Fills FX Streamline .22 from 1200psi to max in about 5 minutes. Also fill a Air venturi Avenger to 4000psi in about 7 minutes Instead of using ice,I've used the blue freezer packs you use in coolers,just helps keep things cooler in summer,also use mine in basement where I use dehumidifiers which helps keep moisture below 60%
Hey thanks for the view and feedback!! So far mine has worked excellent as well. I haven't used any ice or anything because my temp is always below °50c. I live in a pretty dry area but I still added the extra filter. I have the little one that came with the compressor connected after the gold one. I keep an eye on that one to see if anything is making past the 3 stage filter. So far the small filter is clean and dry.
I absolutely LOVE my 'Heng. It's really sweet. I can fill 4 PCP's from empty to full in a few minutes and it never gets above 100˙ƒ. I use refrigerated distilled water and I leave the fish tank pump in the gallon (cut a slit in the side) and have the two tubes coming out the top. Takes me 30 seconds to set up.
I love mine as well! I'll be putting out a second video on the Heng soon. New tips and I rearranged my setup. Your setup sounds legit! Only thing is, I have heard bad things about using distilled water in these. There are no minerals in distilled water. Therefore the distilled water tries to draw minerals from the metal it is flushing through. Thus corroding the inside of the compressor. This is just what I have been told by many people with much more experience than myself. Hopefully this helps you out! Thank you for the view and your feedback!
I use a 5 gal bucket with 2 milk cartons .cut the top off an freeze with 3/4 or less water and keep frozen. And toss them in the bucket. If ever fill a large tank you will definitely need ice the colder you keep that water, and change the oil the longer that compressor will last
Yes. That would definitely work. I've moved on to a much better compressor about two years ago. I don't have to worry about cooling anymore. Plus, Yong Hengs scare me. Much to many failures with injury.
Push your temp guage probe in all the way for an accurate reading. Also you should keep your coolant bucket higher than the pump, it will make your water pump last longer and work more effectively. I also add some ice to my bucket.they also suggest 2 gallons minimum of water, i use a 5 gallon bucket with a few cups of antifreeze and some "heet" good video man.
Thank you for your feedback! I'm curious to see if there is much of a temp difference with that probe pushed in all the way! Also curious to see how much longer yours lives with the extra precautions? Keep me posted!
@@larrycoleman2225 in the video, to the left of the gauge, lined up with the handle on top, you can see a black wire connected to a metal stem. The stem slides into the compressor.
Hey Carlos! Thanks for the view! I set the compressor according to which gun I am filling. Some of mine are 200 bar and some are 250 bar. Plus I'm looking at some with max 300 bar. I do not fill to max pressure. I usually fill to 190-195 on my 200 bar guns and about 240 on the others. Hopefully that helps you out.
What ever the gun is capable of being filled some are 3000 psi and some are 4,350 but i always go a little under recommendations on the fill because the first few shots will be in accurate and then it will settle in
I love mine. It works perfect. I stacked 2-5 gallon buckets upside down on each other. Fill 1/2 way with water and I freeze half gallon milk jugs throw them in the water. I can fill my scuba tanks. It works perfect. Never overheat. I leave mine set up? I don't take it down. I chang the water out once a week very easy
Hello, I have a question, I was using my Yong Heng today for the first time, I am filling a big 9L 4500psi carbon fiber air tank. I changed the oil in the compressor when it got to 1000psi for the break in, and then when it got to 3400psi, I noticed the oil was dark, so I changed it again, and I decided to check the ice bottles I have in the 5 gallon water bucket, Now when I reached into the water all the water had an oily feeling to it. Is that normal for the water to feel oily? I did not finish airing up the air tank after the second oil change at 3400psi. I am being cautious I do not want to damage the compressor.
Hey there! Thanks for watching! No. That is definitely not normal. I don't have any noticable oil in my return water. No residue in my bucket. I would return that one. Definitely something wrong with that. I hope you get a good one sent out!🤙🤙
@@bullfrogairguns I can't return it, its too late for me its already pass the time. This sucks I purchased this Yong heng to replace my tuxing compressor that stop making any kind a pressure after only 6 times of use, I tried fixing the tuxing and gave up, tuxing does not honor its warrenty. Nothing but bad luck for me over and over. Well I guess I have to buy another one.
Appreciate the video. Could you supply links for the filter, pump, and any other add-ons as that would be helpful as it looks like you have it pretty well figured out. Be curious of the model number/type of compressor that is. I need to do something to get away from hand pumping :)
@@keystonecop2005 no. I need to get them up. My shop has been offline for almost two months and am supposed to be back on anytime now. I'll be updating content, the channel and my website. Thank you for being patient and hanging in there with Bullfrog Airguns! Much appreciated!!👍👍🤙🤙
Hey Gary! Sorry to hear that! This has been a great investment for myself. Though I do want to do a major upgrade and go for an actual scuba compressor. Hope you have better luck with yours!
I've worked at three hundred bucks oh, and it was supposed to come with everything I needed, the only came as a compressor no hose no filter no relief valves. I had to use all my engineering skills to gather up the items myself oh, because they will not respond to my messages. It will only filled my dive bottle to 2500 PSI? Haven't tested it on the gun bottle yet
3 times! That must have taken months! I'm invested over $550.00 in this 2500psi pump! Could have gone to the dive shop latterly down the street 40 times for that bread! But I'm stubborn and wanted this thing work! The dealers should be ashamed!
@@garyg2318 luckily it only took a couple weeks. It still drove me crazy though! My upgrade is $4k but in the end, it'll save me a lot of time and frustration. I'm just filling guns at the moment but plan on getting tanks.
Hello Debbie! Thanks for the view! This was my original setup. I now have the bucket even with the compressor. Whether you have the bucket higher or lower, the pump will be working harder than straight across and back. I have a new video I'll post tonight. Hope it helps!👍👍🤙🤙
Anyone got any input on that, I think it's made by GX pump or something, but it's a one piece air-cooled unit. No bucket of water, no oil changes Guys seem to like it a lot, I'm just wondering about longevity. It's $480 or so.
And another downside is: Well there are many. This thing if actually used weekly will not last six months. It is actually a cheap piece of junk, regular use it will not withstand. Use it once a month, OK it may last a year. So 350 bucks for the compressor. 60 bucks for hydraulic oil 200 bucks for a decent filter to get rid of water 400 and up for a decent 4500 psi tank. So that is 1010 bucks........conservatively-plus other odds and ends. Uh oh......not so cheap in price after all!! Or just go buy and Omega Trail for 900 bucks and fill your gun direct and forget all the aggravation, down time, and worry about water in your air gun or tank, and toss the tank also, you can carry the Omega with you, hook it to your car battery, etc, etc, or fill up your gun direct at home from the nearest 110 outlet. Yong Heng used to be a less than ideal solution , as time has progressed it is now only an exercise in frustration that will actually cost more than a modern decent high pressure air compressor. Times have changed, progress has been made. Check out the small direct fill compressors designed to fill your air gun directly. This is currently the best and most economical way in our current world.......or cheaper yet, go rent a 6000 psi Nitrogen tank and buy a regulator and enjoy 100 plus fills per tank and a yearly rental of on average 125 bucks and a fill 75 bucks , regulator one time cost 200 bucks. 200 bucks a year, by 100 fills equals 2 bucks a fill. Let them worry about the tank safety and hydrostat. Cheers Kit
Thanks for the input and view! Although I agree with you when it comes to there being better compressors on the market. Cost wise, they aren't comparable. I spent about 250 for the compressor, 20-30 for the oil, and just over 100 for the secondary filter. I use mine a lot more than once a week and have had it 9 months now. Many people have great reviews and experiences with the Yong Heng's. Others have terrible things to say. I think it has a lot to do with how you treat and use it. I'm not pushing or selling these. Just giving a reference video for those interested. Cheers!
If you enjoy shooting and like your guns , run away from this Yong Heng compressor. Save and spend the extra money so you can get a good quality, well made compressor mine cost me about $1600 and that money resolve all the headache and troubles that I was having with the " 2 " Yong Heng compressors that I had previously purchased. Take it from me don't waste your time fixing , adjusting and filtering oil and water its just not worth any hard working man's time .
@@bullfrogairguns I totally understand and I respect reply. I am just a air gunner looking out for another air gunner this way we don't waste money after working and saving so much to acquire our toys.
If a person has any mechanical inclination whatsoever a yong heng is a great choice. If you're the type who only knows how to start your car (and maybe gas it up), by all means spend $1600. For the price difference I bought a yong heng (300$), and additional pcp rifle (950), and almost 400$ worth of pellets.
@@joshuagibson2520 I'm with you. I love my Yong Heng. It works great for me. Down the road I may need something bigger and better. But for now, just filling my guns, I'm definitely good.
@@joshuagibson2520 If you are going to purchase a Yong Heng compress AKA " The Mechanic's Special " because you are mechanically inclined go ahead and enjoy yourself getting greasy, but for me I don't like problems and I buy my " PCP Toys " to play with NOT to fix. Anyway respect to you fellow air gunner you will learn eventually .
Theres no point in having a moisture filter laying on its side as moisture lays in the bottom of the filter laying down and therefore bypasses the the micro beads!! Filter should be verticle to be able to do their intended job.
Nice demonstration and review. I too have 3 of these units and the oldest is 3 years old and running.

Where did you order it?They want you everything (Thermometer on the first try)? Likw he was talking about?
@@zenferg hey there! I ordered mine from Amazon.

I love mine also i use re freezable ice blocks and a 5 gallon works perfectly
I got one coming so this was good to see how to run the Yong Heng and to fill a gun like I'm going to do too. Thanks

Will it not power on until the item you're filling is connected?
It will turn on without being connected. However, you won't be able to connect it once the unit is on.

I upgraded to an Omega compressor. I couldn't have been happier to get rid of that Yong heng! After filling my 90cf tank, the Omega is still cool.
If you can run water from a garden hose through a filter then out to yard you get way better cooling
Yes. That would definitely work. I've moved on to a much better compressor about two years ago. I don't have to worry about cooling anymore. Plus, Yong Hengs scare me. Much to many failures with injury.

what temp probe are you referring to? No idea what you are talking about but want to learn in case I go this route. :) thanks...
@@larrycoleman2225 in the video, to the left of the gauge, lined up with the handle on top, you can see a black wire connected to a metal stem. The stem slides into the compressor.
On one of my yong hengs the temperature probe wont go all,the way in, like yours. I will eventually drill it out, but everything's running fine as is.
How do you determine what pressure to have the compressor at? Should it be right at the max psi for your rifle or above that?
