5 years, really! Boy I was thinking that if I could get two years out of mine I would be doing good. But if I get 5 years I would be amazed. The ice block is great idea and I will implement it. Thanks for watching.
Any one can answer me .can this compressor fill 80 cubic feet diving cylinder tank continuously or need to break in between to cool down n how much time will be needed for the same thanks
Excellent video. I've had mine for over 2 years now. I run Royal Purple compressor oil instead of the Hydraulic oil and it runs cooler and quieter. I have dozens of the the little white filters and replace them every time I use it. I also use the Joe Brancato moisture filter. I bleed my 60 minute carbon fiber tank tipping it upside down to drain any water that may and probably will get by the filters. Just a quick opening and closing of the valve allows for any water to be pushed out of the tank. Dry air is great air for PCP's! I used to fill my tank to 4500 psi but found that it will blow the safety valve after a couple of times so I now fill up to 4,000 PSI and have not had to replace that little brass circle which is in the safety valve. I also replaced the water pump with a higher capacity pump available at Home Depot. I also never run the Yong Heng pump for longer than 20 minutes at a time. I watch the temperature gauge and never let it get above 50. I let it cool down and then start again . I also never start without having the valves open. Saves the pump from having to overcome the air pressure. I love not having to have hydro testing done. That plus my air tank is outdated by 2 years and so it cannot be refilled by licensed refill stations. That saved me hundreds of dollars not having to have a new tank. Got my tank for $50. I use Joe Brancatto valves and hoses.....he seems to have the best although others have excellent products. Never use cheap air hoses or connectors. A bad connector can let loose and fly all over the place and can kill. Get and use the best....high pressure air is dangerous if you don't practice common sense safety with it.
Great information. I agree with everything you are saying and recommending. Glad to have a report from someone who has over two years experience with the Yong Heng. When I posted it lots of people jumped on me for pushing a inferior product. I am going to recommend that everyone who has or is planning on getting a Yong Heng read your informative comment. Thanks for sharing and for watching.
So I've been looking at videos around this air compressor and haven't seen anyone using a simple 125-150 psi compressor/tank with a oil and water filter separator feeding clean air regulated around 8 psi flow into the Yong Heng. Just a thought ;) as clean air is very important for automotive painting.
Check out my video on adding a oil and water separator with a molecular sieve. That was my recommendation to all those who own this compressor. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Hey Aaron, couldn't agree with you more. Purchased mine in June 2017. No breakdowns. It's all about the bleeders being open on startup and then again on shutdown. They release all the head pressure. I also use ice in my bucket. Great video...keep em coming.
Thanks Aaron, Excellent review again. Thanks for the tips. - especially keeping the inlet tubes cool with wet cloth and also repeating the need for startup under no load air pressure. I have noticed when I forget to do this how the compressor motor stalls without rotating. Definitely hard on the electrical and the piston assembly. Thanks for your update review!
Here are a few more things you can do to keep your compressor running like new. First, even though the compressor is rated at 4,500 psi never fill your tank beyond 3,500 psi, Two, change the oil every 25 hours. Three, add a water and oil filter. Thanks for watching.
Thanks I hope everyone will read all these positive comments from current owners so they will know that I am not pulling their leg. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
I just bought one new for just £123 from eBay UK. In the instructions it says the unit is not suitable for filling cylinders, but then it mentions later connection to air bottle. I've yet to use it as it needs an oil top up, so I'll get some 5-W40 oil as recommended. Loved the video sir, you have a most pleasing delivery, voice and accent to my British ear.
Love my compressor but I never fill my tank over 3,500 psi. But I do fill my Impact to 4,000 psi with no problems. Also, my instructions said to use hydraulic oil only. I better look into this. Thanks.
Arron I bought mine in 2015 when they had no reviews. I figured I would take a chance. It’s been nothing but reliable for me. All the things you have talked about are spot on. Also I use automotive coolant in mine to keep it cool and it seems to be better than water alone. I’m working on a setup now with a small atv radiator with a small 12v fan I will keep you posted.
Wow it has been working without a problem for over 3 years. Amazing. And I would have never thought of using coolant or a radiator but with the longevity of your pump it must be working. Let me us know what the temperature is now at 4000 psi and what it is with the radiator at 4000. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. You convinced me to buy this compressor. Just ordered my first PCP rifle. Only used break barrels before. Can’t wait to use this compressor on my new Benjamin Marauder. Thanks for the video ! Very much appreciated your recommendations.
Hey aaron I just bought one for $200 and it will be delivered tomorrow. I have about 6 PCP guns and about 25 break-barrel and 4 CO2 rifles. Everything I can fine to make things easier on me I try and do it for my guns and myself. Thanks for your knowledge and keep the great informative videos coming thanks again.
Boy you are just like my buddy Ken when it come to guns... Big time love for them. As for the Compressor be sure to check out all the videos on how to operate them successfully and check out the possibility of putting a molecular sieve on it to catch oil and water. Thanks for watching.
Boy I thought I had a lot of guns with my five PCPs and two springer's. Glad you got a Yong Heng I think you're gonna to love it. Make sure you get the filter I discussing my other video. Thanks.
When I first started I never considered hand pumps I was just too old. I paid $700 for a Shoebox compressor several years ago that I can't get $150 for today. We are so lucky that there are so many low cost item to choose from today. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the video I was looking at the Hatsan compressor and thought at $400 was a good deal but your video has made my choice so much easier and cheaper I am a new subscriber .
No matter which one you get make sure you add the oil/water filter I reviewed. It really makes a difference. Also never fill your tank beyond 3,500psi it will make the compressor and the oil last a much longer. Thanks for watching.
Filling to less than 4,000 PSI will extend the life of the compressor too. It's good to let the compressor reach the air pressure in the tank before opening up the take valve so it's not fighting the back pressure. I know it has a check valve though. Also the water bucket should be at the same level as the compressor so the cheap aquarium pump doesn't have to push water up hill.
All you say is right on the money. I just fill my tank to 3,700 psi at a time. Also rapping wet rags around the tubes will cut down the heat by a great deal and help the compressor to last longer also. Thanks for watching and for you great comment.
Thank you, did not know that reducing the fill pressure in the rifle and releasing the air from the compressor's valve can prolong their life, great tips for us air gunners, again, thanks for sharing and spending your time.
After watching videos and research..got me a young hen! Love it over repeated trips for a 2200 to 3000 psi $cuba tank top off for my Air Force rifle... about 10 minutes now. One thing I noticed is the repeated use of teflon tape to seal the output hose fitting from the compressor. I guess the early compressors did not come with the white internal teflon ring seal? Becoming a fanatic about cooling the compressor. I use a combo of frozen water jugs from freezer to water bucket, $10 dollar window box fan blowing from back to front to assist motor fan. I found several several junk box "clip on" alum heat sinks for the SS X-over tubes and use Mr. Aaron's wet cooling rags on the horizontal SS tubes. All in all this seems to reduced the amount of water found in the 1st stage water trap. I got the 120vac version but made a 220 to 120 - 30 amp dryer circuit as the closest 115 outlet have freezers and such sharing. The 120 vac pump motor starts and runs great!
Yes I find that putting a wet cloth on the high pressure tube will keep the temperature way down. I had a problem with startup because I have two humidifiers on the circuit and it would either not start well or trip the fuse. Now I remember to turn the off and there is not longer a problem. Thanks for watching.
@@Bigtexas-qm1cv Bought mine from zb-equipment on ebay. China can't fly equipment with oil "in" so I bought Royal Purple compressor oil at auto store, or $17 Amazon. Instructions did come with unit but you still have to research specific questions you may have. Good Luck!
I found your review very interesting and informative, and what's more, from a real down to earth person.I am thinking of buying this compressor or the New Warrior, which I think is one and the same.After major surgery and now additional therapy, I can't pump my rifles up with my trusty Logan pump. This review was invaluable to me. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to this upload. I'm sure it will be just as valuable to many others considering the purchase of such. Keep up your relaxed, down to earth approach, it makes you "shine" brighter than others on UA-cam. Phil from the UK.
I still thanks it is the best deal out there and many will agree with me. However, the cost is going up. When I first purchased my tank over two years ago it cost $198.00 with free delivery. I just ordered a second on yesterday and it cost $298.00 with free shipping. No my first one is not broken but I will be posting a video on a problem I had in a few weeks. The problem was caused by me. I have added you to my world map as a viewer from the UK. Thanks for watching.
Look at my three or four videos on it and then watch all the others. I have not seen a single bad review on it. So do your research and buy with confidence. Thanks of watching
Keep it cool and the oil changed and don,t over tax it and it will last for years like mine. By saying don,t over tax it I mean don't fill your carbon tank over 3,800 psi and it will last much longer. I know some people who constantly filled to the max of 4,500 psi and they burned it up in know time. Best of luck.
After almost two years my is still going great. My nephew just got one and I am have done another review on it and I will post it in a few weeks with some recommendation on how to keep it working great. Thanks for watching.
Good video I too am glad I came across this I really didn’t want to spend 1300 bucks on a high pressure compressor starting out you also mentioned the ATN scope ....I have been seeing the ads for that and wanted to know the reviews on it.
The compressor is great and I have had it over two years. I have both the ATN 4K and the Thor heat seeking and both are great. I got lucky and found the Thor for 30% off. I have did several videos with them and hope to do more videos with the Thor. Thanks. Sorry this reply is so late. .
I think you are going to love your yong heng. Be sure to get a water/oil filter for it. Check out my video on the best way to install it. Also wed rags on the tubes will cool it down better than any other hack. I have added you to my map. Thanks for watching.
Make a desiccant intake filter. Take the brass honeycomb filter off. Buy 2 3/8'ths adaptors one coupling. And buy some acrylic tube off Amazon. If you buy the 4 inch I kid you not you can take a yeti/ ozark trail 32oz lid and use it as a seal. Then buy the blue desiccant beads. I have a friend who did it. I hope this makes sense. There's a video on UA-cam called. Tuxing intake filter that's where I found it.
Thanks for that information. I will definitely check it out. I have checked out your videos. All I can say is I liked them, you should do more of them. Again I love it when I learned that you won at to AofA EB. best of luck.
Well Aaron, there are "Working Pressure WP" and "Test Pressure TP". When airgun factory says max 3500psi for example, it means WP, TP is way above WP, TP is when air container or tank starts to expand beyond acceptable limit, causing metal fatigue. So don't be afraid to fill your tank to maximum limit as stated by manufacturer. Cheers.
Thanks for that information. However, I am never afraid to fill because of safety. I choose not to fill to the 4,500 psi because is will stress the compressor too much. I have been filling my tanks to 3,800 psi for three years now and my Yong Heng is still working like new. Thanks and best of luck.
Just watched this video, I'm eyeing the compressor. I have a Chinese hand pump for my Benjamin maximus. Works great, better after I cleaned the brass flakes off the o rings. My first pcp. Never going back, I can hit acorns at 20 yards...
When you get your first Yong Heng you will never go back. I think it is one of the best things to happen to the PCP world since the introduction of the under $500 PCP. Which PCP did you get? I think you are going to find that you can hit an acorn at 30 yards and a golf ball at 40 and even 50 yards not matter what gun you have. Just turn up the magnification on you scope. Thanks for watching.
I would still recommend putting a damp cloth on the high pressure tube because you will find that is get almost red hot. Cooling that tube will go a long way towards the extended the life of the compressor. Thanks for watching.
For the money it is the best out there. But what I really like is that they forced other companies to produce a budget compressor. Thanks foe watching.
First time here Aaron keep up the good work it would be nice if you show us step-by-step how to get the water out of the system was a little bit confusing about draining the air pressure then then turn it back on tightening of the air pressure and turn it back on and then let the air out I guess if you can make a video that's a little bit more clear on that by actually showing it I would appreciate it thank you again for your time God bless
I did not talk about how to get the water out because it is so easy. There is an air pressure release valve on the compressor and you just turn it and all of the pressure as well as much of the water shoots out. For the rest of the water is absorbed by the filter and you just have to change it when needed. Thanks for watching.
Great Video! EXACTLY what should I purchase to keep the water out of my gun and take. I am new to this so links, names and part numbers would be helpful. Stay safe and healthy
This is the one I purchased on eBay for $99: Just cut and past this on eBay: PCP air compressor 4500 psi oil water filter diving separator. Check out my video on the best way to install it. Best of luck.
They are great compressors. Some people have told me that they have had them for well over 2 years with not problem. You are the first for Canada that I know of. I have added you to my world map of viewers. Thanks you for watching and commenting.
Great choice. Keep the fill pressure under 4,000 psi, change the oil on time and keep it cool and it will last for years. Check out my video on oil/water filters for the compressor. Best of luck.
Yes I hate that but I have learned my lesson. I watched what I think is your latest video and I cant believe that you got up at 1:00 am to go shoot pigeons. That is dedication in spades. Thanks for watching.
If you have the same experience as Ken and I you are going to live it and it is going to serve you well. Check out the video in adding a filter as well as other video on its use and care. Thanks for watching .
@@aaroncantrell8819 I hope so and I certainly will view all of your video's..I'm a little confused after looking at the Yong Heng on ebay. The price for the Yong Heng compressor jumps from $214.99 up to $389.00. They all look exactly the same to me and seem to be rated the same for psi etc. I bought my PCP guns first (I have five now) and I am just now buying the support equipment so any advice would be helpful, especially in terms of finding the correct air tanks in which to fill from the compressor at a reasonable price. Some of these things are out of this world expensive and sure not rich lol. I suppose you could if you wanted to fill the guns directly from the compressor? Been shooting air guns all my life and just recently added the PCP's to my collection of break barrels so I am on a learning curve with this. I'll wait to hear back from you before ordering anything. Thanks for your quick reply :-)
@@kaylamarie8309 you have to keep looking around eBay and also search for compressors in general. The Yong Heng is sold under other names as well. Because they are selling so well some people are taking advantage and doubling the price. It has also happened with the Chinese made P15, Diana is now marketing it and has changed the name and added $250.00 to its regular price of $500. But if you know where to look you can still get it for $500. It the same with the Yong Heng. So keep looking. Good luck.
@@aaroncantrell8819 Will do! We got lots out here. We need at least one or two more good freezes here and then it'll be Cottontail time. God bless brother.👍✌
I am looking forward to Cottontail hunting also but this year I am giving up on my 20 gage and will only use my PCP. I not get as many but it will be fun waling quietly and looking for them. Thanks for again for watching.
Aluminum foil will keep the heat in wherever it's crumpled against a pipe. Lay out many circles about 1-1/2" dia. on thin ga. aluminum sheet. In the center of each circle, drill a hole equal to the pipe O.D. or smaller. Hole saw out the bigger circles. Cut a line from the outside to the inside of each new fin. Smooth the inside holes using a fine rattail file. Each fin should set tight against the pipe for heat convection. Smooth the remaining surfaces using sand paper or a fine flat faced file, or a half sharp knife. Sand all flat surfaces using 600 grit paper. Paint using medium temp heat paint. Bend one fin apart at the straight cut. Set it around a pipe, restraighten. Optionally each fin can be souldered to the pipe, keeping the bead small. Use hobby wire and make a wrap or two around the pipe above the newly installed fin, for a spacer. Repeat.
I think I follow what you are saying but we would really appreciate it if you would upload a video so we can see exactly what you are describing. That for watching and for the information. .
I received my Avenger yesterday I gain muscle because of my hand pump I'm searching for a good Airgun compressor. Sounds this one is candidate🙂 thanks for the review Aaron👍🙂
I have tried every suggestion except using radiator coolant. Nothing has come close to the wet rags on the high pressure tubes. Thanks for watching. Best of luck.
You are going to love it. Keep it cool, don't push it too hard (avoid 4,500 psi fills) and change the oil regularly and it will last for years. Thanks for watching.
I read people advocate running motor vehicle coolant instead of just water to avoid corrosion and gumming inside the compressor. Also, what about a pedestal fan blowing air towards the air cooled component of the compressor?
Thank you for the review. Holds so much more weight when it is from someone who has put it to the test. I got my 4k X-Sight earlier this year and love it. Look forward to hearing what your thoughts are on yours is.
Good choice in both the compressor and the aTN4k. I love both. I just did a review update on my nephews Yong Heng and I will post it later. I have done a few reviews on 4K and also did some pesting with it. Love it. Thanks for watching.
I bought one a couple weeks ago for 220 shipped off Amazon and for a extra 40 bucks I got a 4year replacement warranty with paid return shipping.... I had a $1400 buck compressor that died after 3 years with light use. I only filled my guns no tanks. Pretty much a no-brainer which way to go....
I had a friend who paid $2,000 for a Omega and it went out after a few years also. Just think you can buy about 10 Yong Heng compressors for that much. I use to fill my guns directly from the compressor. My advice is to get a tank and a oil/water filter to keep these things out of your guns. I did a video on how to set up the filter. Check it out. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
I have 2 large SCBA air tanks and my dive shop closed for at least a month so I assembled my new small air compressor. What a pain!! So noisy Takes forever. Can only run 15 minutes max. No more. No more. I ordered an AYRTEKK BOOSTER PUMP. GOD I love technology. I can top off every rifle up to 300 bar or 4500psi in a couple flicks of a switch. USA made... Gotta love air rifles, I just have too many especially the 580 cc bottles. Lol
Are you using a Shoebox Compressor? I was taking my tanks to the scuba store and paying 10 bucks a fill. So I had to get a compressor. I was overjoyed to learn about the Yong Heng for $219. I was paying that much for just 21 fills at the scuba shot. With this compressor I can bring it from about 2,900 psi up to 3,600 in just about 10 minutes. I like you can fill the gun in just a minute or so. But your are right about the noise so I ware ear muffs. But it is not pain for my Yong Heng. I have too many tanks also. I have a one hour, and half hour and a Pony tank for the field. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
@@aaroncantrell8819 I'm throwing my new shoebox compressor in the garbage. Dive shop folks my SBCA for $7. And I ordered a 100% USA MADE Ayrtekk booster pump. Hey now That's right
@@stedyone1090 I must admit that I had never heard of the Ayrtekk booster pump. What a concept. It is amazing. I only found one site that spoke of the price. Does it actually cost $1,700? Something I will definitely be checking out. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Best wishes.
@@aaroncantrell8819 No.. That was Hunter Supply price. They dont carry any more I bought direct from Maddog stocks @ $1595. They just sold out. About 10 days I'll have it. You can run on 1 tank, or 2 tanks, or 1 shop pancake compressor and 1 tank Simply amazing. 100% USA MADE All commercial grade parts. All connection s and micro hoses come with it. Very happy . Can't wait. .
Sorry I hit reply too soon. Here are the two differnet types. The one for the scuba tank is called a: Scuba Fill Station HPA Adapter and the one for my tank is called: SCBA Fill Station Charging Adapter Hand Tight CGA347. Make sure you get the right one. Best of luck.
Thanks, Aaron. Great Information. I am a brand new air gunner. My rifle just arrived last week. I'm waiting for a bipod; then I will mount may scope for the first time. My last major purchase is a compressor and a tank. I'm going crazy out here trying to figure out which compressor to buy. I've seen some all the way up to $4500. This information was very helpful. Much appreciated. How long have you been shooting?
If anyone owns this compressor and have needle issues on the pump itself, there is a black rubber nipple you can pull out and fill the needle housing with clear oil and will fix the fast needle bounce (replace nipple after filling). Hope this helps someone.
After watching your video, I went on eBay. I have heard that some counterfeit YH's are on the market. I noticed that the ones I have looked at don't have the YH Pump Logo on the side, just the data plate which has YH and the Model number. Have you heard anything like this?
If you look closely at a Yong Heng and others an they look exactly alike you are looking at a Yong Heng with a different logo. it is like Artemis. One gun from one company but sold under different names. Thanks and good luck.
It is great for the money. Just think, a few years ago you would have to pay almost $2,000 for an Omega. Glad to see the prices going down and the quality going up on less expensive PCP and other products. Thanks for watching.
I came upon this video by accident. Now I’m glad I did, great review of a pcp compressor I didn’t even think about! You named the maker but not the model. Is there a particular model I should look for over the rest?
Everyone is telling me that you can get or order on at Walmart with a three year warranty. I just looked it up and it sells for $269.99 at Walmart. Here is the link: www.walmart.com/search/?query=yong%20heng%20compressor&typeahead=yong%20hen Thanks and best of luck.
Considered this compressor the 300 seams to cheap. My air guy says at least 3 k for a decent compressor. But if your filing a scuba once a week that's all I use
Air is air as long as it is at the right pressure, and is clean and dry. This compressor does all that when you attach the oil/water filter i mentioned in my last video for under $350. If you check the videos and comments you will find that it has been in use for years without issues. Don't forget your air gun guy is first of all a salesman not a social worker. But if you have the money you should get an Omaga for $1500. That way you will feel good about it. Thanks for watching and best of luck.
I agree completely with the sales comment. So how long have you been using it to fill that scooba now? Id much rather spend 300 than 1500. I'm just kinda checking with guys like u who are actually using it. Have you had any problems with moisture
@@johnbrewer3639 no I don't think so but all air contains moisture so it will be present with any compressor. Check out my video I posted a few weeks ago that deals with the problem at a really great price. Thanks again.
Thank you for this video Aaron, been looking for this pimp for a while but have not made up my mind yet. But looking at this changed my mind and I will order one as soon as possible. I've been looking at some other videos on how to use the pump and I reckon that you should fill the pump with some oil right after you pull it out of the package, however I failed to see what kind of oil that was beeing used. Could you please shed some light on this matter? Thanks in advance from Sweden!
I really don't believe that someone will dislike a gun just because they think it is difficult to load. So there must be another reason. I have a .177 impact and it is more difficult to load than my P15. However I think that all .177 are difficult because we have big hands and .177s are so small. I have watched many video of hunters shooting rabbits, birds and even beavers there. I wish I could come there and hunt beaver once. That looks like a challenge. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the review. The one I got won’t turn over, unfortunately. Seems to be very high friction. What type of red connector are you using to attach to the carbon tank? I picked up a couple similar tanks but don’t know what adapter I need to attach a fill tube to them.
Sorry about you problem with the compressor. Will it turn over when nothing is attached to it? The red connector was the connection for the hose to the air mask. So I just ordered the parts to make the fill assembly. But I think you can purchase the whole attachment on eBay. Thanks for watching.
One guy commented that he was paying $20 per fill at a dive shop but was not sure about the Yong Heng. I said after 12 fill you could have purchased one. So he decided to get on. My compressor is still working after about two years. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for reply I am talking to the shops and I did ask them if the compressor could top up a 12 ltr cylinder they don't seem to know what they are selling , as it seem different for us in the uk
I've had my yong heng pcp compressor for 2 years , I ice my water down , I got a extra line cylinder and I use monecluar sieve in both to catch the moisture, awsome vidio very good information.
I’ve had my compressor the exact as yours . About a year . Like it so much I bought a 2nd . I’ve had one issue and this is the shut off relay burned out . The new replacement relay is on AliExpress and relatively in expensive. The relay is now a 40amp up from a 30amp . Other then that I’ve had zero issues . Upgraded the water cooling pump to a much faster pump and the cylinder runs a lot cooler . I like and am going to do like you do with the damp rag on the lines . Those things gets scalding hot . Nice tip 👍 thanks .
I learned that there were issues with the ones with the auto shut off so I stayed away from that option. I did not think of upgrading to a faster pump thanks for that and for watching.
Can I bring my tank temperature down by putting it in a ice bucket? I just received my pump today and I'm taking notes. I have the Hatsan 6.8L/ 4500 psi carbon fiber tank, and a brand new Yong Heng. Will the compressor have an issue with tank size? I do understand the heat/runtime and will have ice water running through. My question on tank temp derives from my HVACR background, but I'm not charging/recovering a HCFC.
I have a large one hour and a half hour rescue carbon fiber tank. I can recommend two things that will keep the temp down and prolong the compressor. 1. wrap wet rags around the high pressure tubes. They are one of the main sources of the heat. You will see steam rising from the tubes during the fill. Just keep them wet. 2. I never fill my tank past 3,800 psi. Those last 700 psi are the hardest on the pump. Never push that little pump to hard to long. Thanks for watching. Best of luck.
I got it on Ebay but when you do find it keep looking because I have seen them from R$219 all the up to $399. As for reputable: they are all the same so I don't think it matters where you get it. Thanks for watching.
Mr. Cantrell nice & informative video sir...I see the yong heag compressors on Ebay for 211.00 - 250.00 now...I'm in the market for a gamo winchester 357...how long do you think it will take to fill it to 250 bar ???
If you are going to fill the gun directly it will take on a few minutes. When we got it set up it filled my nephews FX Impact in not time. When I fill my half hour carbon fiber tank from 2,800 lbs to 3,500 lbs it takes about 8 to 10 minutes I think but I have never timed it. Thanks and good luck.
I hadn't heard too much about that brand, but I've been looking at other brands that cost twice as much or more. I could buy a Y.H. compressor AND a tank, for less than the cost of more expensive units.👍😺
I agree I have purchased my Yong Heng for $219 and two used 4,500 psi carbon tanks on eBay for around $200 and made a fill connect with parts found on eBay for around $75. The yong heng is a great buy and now costing nearly $300 but there are still deals out there. Thanks for watching.
I see units that look exactly like yours on Amazon at various prices under different brands: CLIENSY, SuxiDi, Topdeep. Are they all the same & made by the same company?
No I don't use coolant or ice. I wrap wet rags around the high pressure tubes. That is the single best thing you can do to bring down the temperature. If you try it you will see steam coming off the rags. Also your tanks will not even fill warm after it is filled. Thanks for watching.
Sir, can you tell me what parts I need to connect my scba tank to my gun. What comes off the scba tank (the large male threads) to be able to connect to the hose? Thank you
I am not sure which scuba tank fitting you have so here are the two that are most common. Here is the link to the type for my carbon fiber tank: www.ebay.com/itm/CGA347-SCBA-Fill-Station-Charging-Adapter-Hand-Tight-for-Paintball-PCP-Air-Rifle/203295457308?_trkparms=aid%3D1110018%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.COMPLISTINGS%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818142838%26meid%3Df1efc8d4dd3840b79cca9784c1250174%26pid%3D101197%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpf%26sd%3D184461129365%26itm%3D203295457308%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DItemStripV101HighAdFee%26brand%3DUnbranded%2FGeneric&_trksid=p2047675.c101197.m1850 Here is a link for one that fits a regular scuba tank: www.ebay.com/itm/Airsoft-PCP-4500psi-Refill-Station-Filling-Hose-For-Air-Tank-Scuba-Cylinder-US/402342422300?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201210111314%26meid%3De2ccf8215cd242f09137cdcd5273414d%26pid%3D101195%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dco%26sd%3D312700967813%26itm%3D402342422300%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv9PairwiseUnbiasedWeb%26brand%3DUnbranded%2FGeneric&_trksid=p2047675.c101195.m1851 Best of luck.
Is it still going strong? Interestingly it says in the manual to run it for max 1 hour or fill a 1litre bottle maximum. Well I filled an AGA 324 = 8 litres from 60bar to 280 in 36 minutes so it shure has to be pretty dang worn out to only fill 1 litre in an hour. :-)
My compressor is still going strong and I shoot every day and fill my tanks twice a week sometimes and I have had it for over two years. However I have never had to fill my large tank completely because it always has about 2,800 psi in it and I just top it off to 3,500 psi. That takes about 15 to 20 minutes to do. I can fill my FX Impact from about 3,000 psi to 4,500 psi in just a few minutes. Thanks for your comment.
I connect the female quick disconnect on the compressor line directly to the male connect on the Tank. I Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching.
I use old Fire/Rescue tanks so I just fill them wiht the fitting that attaches to the gun probes. Take a close look at the videos I have done and you should see it. Thanks. Sorry this reply is so late.
It is a great compressor. To keep it running for years to come I suggest two things. 1. Wrap a wet towel around the lower tubs while fulling the tank. This will keep it cooler than any other method. 2. never fill your tank to over 3,700. I found that the last 800 lbs. stresses the compressor the greatest. Just some suggestions. Thanks for watching.
I have had my for 5 yrs now I fill a 4500 psi tank twice a week I love mine. Too keep mine cool I freeze ice blocks works good to keep it cool
5 years, really! Boy I was thinking that if I could get two years out of mine I would be doing good. But if I get 5 years I would be amazed. The ice block is great idea and I will implement it. Thanks for watching.
I use ice cubes in the water also, works great
@@SonofGodly While using your Ice water try touching one of the high pressure tube to see just how much it is cooling things. Best of luck.
Any one can answer me .can this compressor fill 80 cubic feet diving cylinder tank continuously or need to break in between to cool down n how much time will be needed for the same thanks
I freeze water in 1/2 gallon plastic containers and use them in the bucket. When done just re-freeze them.
Excellent video. I've had mine for over 2 years now. I run Royal Purple compressor oil instead of the Hydraulic oil and it runs cooler and quieter. I have dozens of the the little white filters and replace them every time I use it. I also use the Joe Brancato moisture filter. I bleed my 60 minute carbon fiber tank tipping it upside down to drain any water that may and probably will get by the filters. Just a quick opening and closing of the valve allows for any water to be pushed out of the tank. Dry air is great air for PCP's!
I used to fill my tank to 4500 psi but found that it will blow the safety valve after a couple of times so I now fill up to 4,000 PSI and have not had to replace that little brass circle which is in the safety valve.
I also replaced the water pump with a higher capacity pump available at Home Depot. I also never run the Yong Heng pump for longer than 20 minutes at a time. I watch the temperature gauge and never let it get above 50. I let it cool down and then start again
.
I also never start without having the valves open. Saves the pump from having to overcome the air pressure.
I love not having to have hydro testing done. That plus my air tank is outdated by 2 years and so it cannot be refilled by licensed refill stations. That saved me hundreds of dollars not having to have a new tank. Got my tank for $50. I use Joe Brancatto valves and hoses.....he seems to have the best although others have excellent products. Never use cheap air hoses or connectors. A bad connector can let loose and fly all over the place and can kill. Get and use the best....high pressure air is dangerous if you don't practice common sense safety with it.
Great information. I agree with everything you are saying and recommending. Glad to have a report from someone who has over two years experience with the Yong Heng. When I posted it lots of people jumped on me for pushing a inferior product. I am going to recommend that everyone who has or is planning on getting a Yong Heng read your informative comment. Thanks for sharing and for watching.
Where do I buy a tank for 50 bucks? The tanks I see online are way too expensive. Thanks!
Helo sir,what kind of oil do you use,is it for deisel or a gasoline engine oil?tnk u
@@scientist100 look on ebay. you can get outdated tanks pretty cheap. hope this helps.
@@brianwest5348 I found another youtuber that shared a link and had a lot of tanks available. Needed test but had 1/4 shelf life left.
Your time is much appreciated. Thank you for making the video!
✌️
Thanks for watching and the best of luck.
Thank you for the video and your positive contributions to your community. We appreciate it.
Thanks for watching my videos and all of your comments. I really do appreciate it. Best of luck.
So I've been looking at videos around this air compressor and haven't seen anyone using a simple 125-150 psi compressor/tank with a oil and water filter separator feeding clean air regulated around 8 psi flow into the Yong Heng. Just a thought ;) as clean air is very important for automotive painting.
Check out my video on adding a oil and water separator with a molecular sieve. That was my recommendation to all those who own this compressor. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Hey Aaron, couldn't agree with you more. Purchased mine in June 2017. No breakdowns. It's all about the bleeders being open on startup and then again on shutdown. They release all the head pressure. I also use ice in my bucket. Great video...keep em coming.
Glad your Yong Heng is working well also. Thanks for watching.
So should i open the bleeders on startup. And shut off before fill
Do i attach my fiil connecter to the fill nipple on the tank before anything or do it after i turn the compressor on
Thanks Aaron, Excellent review again. Thanks for the tips. - especially keeping the inlet tubes cool with wet cloth and also repeating the need for startup under no load air pressure. I have noticed when I forget to do this how the compressor motor stalls without rotating. Definitely hard on the electrical and the piston assembly. Thanks for your update review!
Here are a few more things you can do to keep your compressor running like new. First, even though the compressor is rated at 4,500 psi never fill your tank beyond 3,500 psi, Two, change the oil every 25 hours. Three, add a water and oil filter. Thanks for watching.
Aaron you are a natural. Liked listening to you. No stress and laid back. Thanks
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Aaron my Yong Heng is working great I had mine almost a year and love it.
Thanks I hope everyone will read all these positive comments from current owners so they will know that I am not pulling their leg. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
I just bought one new for just £123 from eBay UK.
In the instructions it says the unit is not suitable for filling cylinders, but then it mentions later connection to air bottle. I've yet to use it as it needs an oil top up, so I'll get some 5-W40 oil as recommended.
Loved the video sir, you have a most pleasing delivery, voice and accent to my British ear.
Love my compressor but I never fill my tank over 3,500 psi. But I do fill my Impact to 4,000 psi with no problems. Also, my instructions said to use hydraulic oil only. I better look into this. Thanks.
absolutely the best review on anything i have seen, very very honest just wow keep it up !
Thank you and thanks for watching my video.
I'm old school airgunner and I gotta tell ya, ya got some darn good, straight forward reviews, appreciate it brother
Thank you for the kind words and for watching. I appreciate you also.
Arron I bought mine in 2015 when they had no reviews. I figured I would take a chance. It’s been nothing but reliable for me. All the things you have talked about are spot on. Also I use automotive coolant in mine to keep it cool and it seems to be better than water alone. I’m working on a setup now with a small atv radiator with a small 12v fan I will keep you posted.
Wow it has been working without a problem for over 3 years. Amazing. And I would have never thought of using coolant or a radiator but with the longevity of your pump it must be working. Let me us know what the temperature is now at 4000 psi and what it is with the radiator at 4000. Thanks for sharing.
Yes I have just bought one and thought about using a coolant in the water supply, I use a water tank with lid so it can be reused
Great video. You convinced me to buy this compressor. Just ordered my first PCP rifle. Only used break barrels before. Can’t wait to use this compressor on my new Benjamin Marauder. Thanks for the video ! Very much appreciated your recommendations.
How have you been getting on with it ?
Hey aaron I just bought one for $200 and it will be delivered tomorrow. I have about 6 PCP guns and about 25 break-barrel and 4 CO2 rifles. Everything I can fine to make things easier on me I try and do it for my guns and myself. Thanks for your knowledge and keep the great informative videos coming thanks again.
Boy you are just like my buddy Ken when it come to guns... Big time love for them. As for the Compressor be sure to check out all the videos on how to operate them successfully and check out the possibility of putting a molecular sieve on it to catch oil and water. Thanks for watching.
Southern gunner has 72 pcp guns low end all the way up to high end and 3 break barrels.
Boy I thought I had a lot of guns with my five PCPs and two springer's. Glad you got a Yong Heng I think you're gonna to love it. Make sure you get the filter I discussing my other video. Thanks.
@@aaroncantrell8819 wow great informative review... how i wish i could have one someday...(do you have free give aways?)
@@daniellimon8948 Like me you have too much stuff already.
Thank you. I have been pulling hairs looking at the 1400-1800 dollar setups. This is definitely right up my alley
Keep the unit cool and the oil cooled and it can last for years. Thanks and best of luck
I got tired of hand pumping so 8 months ago I got a YONG HENG and im so glad I got it I have had no problems with it.
When I first started I never considered hand pumps I was just too old. I paid $700 for a Shoebox compressor several years ago that I can't get $150 for today. We are so lucky that there are so many low cost item to choose from today. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the video I was looking at the Hatsan compressor and thought at $400 was a good deal but your video has made my choice so much easier and cheaper I am a new subscriber .
No matter which one you get make sure you add the oil/water filter I reviewed. It really makes a difference. Also never fill your tank beyond 3,500psi it will make the compressor and the oil last a much longer. Thanks for watching.
Check out Steve Smith's comment above. He has some great information.
Filling to less than 4,000 PSI will extend the life of the compressor too. It's good to let the compressor reach the air pressure in the tank before opening up the take valve so it's not fighting the back pressure. I know it has a check valve though. Also the water bucket should be at the same level as the compressor so the cheap aquarium pump doesn't have to push water up hill.
All you say is right on the money. I just fill my tank to 3,700 psi at a time. Also rapping wet rags around the tubes will cut down the heat by a great deal and help the compressor to last longer also. Thanks for watching and for you great comment.
@@aaroncantrell8819how much time does it usually take to fill that size tank from nearly empty to 4000psi??
Thank you, did not know that reducing the fill pressure in the rifle and releasing the air from the compressor's valve can prolong their life, great tips for us air gunners, again, thanks for sharing and spending your time.
Thanks you for watching and best of luck.
Just what I was looking for, thanks for taking your time to tell us about this compressor. Now I feel good about getting one.
Thanks and best of luck.
After watching videos and research..got me a young hen! Love it over repeated trips for a 2200 to 3000 psi $cuba tank top off for my Air Force rifle... about 10 minutes now. One thing I noticed is the repeated use of teflon tape to seal the output hose fitting from the compressor. I guess the early compressors did not come with the white internal teflon ring seal? Becoming a fanatic about cooling the compressor. I use a combo of frozen water jugs from freezer to water bucket, $10 dollar window box fan blowing from back to front to assist motor fan. I found several several junk box "clip on" alum heat sinks for the SS X-over tubes and use Mr. Aaron's wet cooling rags on the horizontal SS tubes. All in all this seems to reduced the amount of water found in the 1st stage water trap. I got the 120vac version but made a 220 to 120 - 30 amp dryer circuit as the closest 115 outlet have freezers and such sharing. The 120 vac pump motor starts and runs great!
SlidellTowne when you get them on eBay do they come with everything you need and instructions
Yes I find that putting a wet cloth on the high pressure tube will keep the temperature way down. I had a problem with startup because I have two humidifiers on the circuit and it would either not start well or trip the fuse. Now I remember to turn the off and there is not longer a problem. Thanks for watching.
SlidellTowne when bought on eBay do they come with everything required except the oil or how does it come instructions included
@@Bigtexas-qm1cv Bought mine from zb-equipment on ebay. China can't fly equipment with oil "in" so I bought Royal Purple compressor oil at auto store, or $17 Amazon. Instructions did come with unit but you still have to research specific questions you may have. Good Luck!
SlidellTowne thanks great channel keep it up
I found your review very interesting and informative, and what's more, from a real down to earth
person.I am thinking of buying this compressor or the New Warrior, which I think is one and the
same.After major surgery and now additional therapy, I can't pump my rifles up with my trusty
Logan pump. This review was invaluable to me. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to
this upload. I'm sure it will be just as valuable to many others considering the purchase of such.
Keep up your relaxed, down to earth approach, it makes you "shine" brighter than others on
UA-cam. Phil from the UK.
I still thanks it is the best deal out there and many will agree with me. However, the cost is going up. When I first purchased my tank over two years ago it cost $198.00 with free delivery. I just ordered a second on yesterday and it cost $298.00 with free shipping. No my first one is not broken but I will be posting a video on a problem I had in a few weeks. The problem was caused by me. I have added you to my world map as a viewer from the UK. Thanks for watching.
I'm in the market for one of these and would like to thank you for sharing your experiance, it has releaved me of the anxiety over my decision.
Look at my three or four videos on it and then watch all the others. I have not seen a single bad review on it. So do your research and buy with confidence. Thanks of watching
That was a great review! Clear, concise, to the point and put over really very well! Thanks Aaron! I'm getting one. 👍
Keep it cool and the oil changed and don,t over tax it and it will last for years like mine. By saying don,t over tax it I mean don't fill your carbon tank over 3,800 psi and it will last much longer. I know some people who constantly filled to the max of 4,500 psi and they burned it up in know time. Best of luck.
Hey. Mr Aaron. Just ordered a heng off of eb for 193.00 plus tax total 210. Had too get it . thanks for your support and help. November 2 2019.
After almost two years my is still going great. My nephew just got one and I am have done another review on it and I will post it in a few weeks with some recommendation on how to keep it working great. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for your insightful review.
Im sold.... Ordering mine tomorrow.
Very good review!
Very nice video and good common sense as how to operate and maintain the unit ! Great job well done !
Thanks you for watching.
Brilliant review. I hope that all is good with you Aaron.
Thank you. Sorry this reply is so late.
I have about a year of hard running 2x a week on mine. I change the oil every month. I’m using full synthetic 30wt HD oil.
I like that idea of changing the oil regularly. Thanks and best of luck.
Good video I too am glad I came across this I really didn’t want to spend 1300 bucks on a high pressure compressor starting out you also mentioned the ATN scope ....I have been seeing the ads for that and wanted to know the reviews on it.
The compressor is great and I have had it over two years. I have both the ATN 4K and the Thor heat seeking and both are great. I got lucky and found the Thor for 30% off. I have did several videos with them and hope to do more videos with the Thor. Thanks. Sorry this reply is so late. .
Great educational video, so practical and so complete, thank you !
Thanks you and thanks for watching.
Aaron I love your style
I lern a lot waching your vids about this compressor ,Thanks for all the info,God Bless .
Thank you for watching and God bless you.
Thank you very ingenious for extending the life of your compressor👍🏻✨
Thanks for watching. Sorry this is so late but I just found your comment.
Thinking about getting one as a back up.
Do that because Ken has a $1500 Omega that died after 57 hours of use so he has been using his Yong Heng during the repair. Thanks for watching.
Hi from England, thank you for this update. I have one of of these compressors on order.
I think you are going to love your yong heng. Be sure to get a water/oil filter for it. Check out my video on the best way to install it. Also wed rags on the tubes will cool it down better than any other hack. I have added you to my map. Thanks for watching.
excellent advice sir! thank you and well done video!
Thanks you. Sorry this reply is so late.
well done SR., clear and informative video, helpful to my self.
Love my Yong Heng. . I think it is the things that has happened the air gun world. Thanks for watching and best of luck.
Make a desiccant intake filter. Take the brass honeycomb filter off. Buy 2 3/8'ths adaptors one coupling. And buy some acrylic tube off Amazon. If you buy the 4 inch I kid you not you can take a yeti/ ozark trail 32oz lid and use it as a seal. Then buy the blue desiccant beads. I have a friend who did it. I hope this makes sense. There's a video on UA-cam called. Tuxing intake filter that's where I found it.
Thanks for that information. I will definitely check it out. I have checked out your videos. All I can say is I liked them, you should do more of them. Again I love it when I learned that you won at to AofA EB. best of luck.
@@aaroncantrell8819 thank you I am don't worry.
Well Aaron, there are "Working Pressure WP" and "Test Pressure TP".
When airgun factory says max 3500psi for example, it means WP, TP is way above WP, TP is when air container or tank starts to expand beyond acceptable limit, causing metal fatigue.
So don't be afraid to fill your tank to maximum limit as stated by manufacturer.
Cheers.
Thanks for that information. However, I am never afraid to fill because of safety. I choose not to fill to the 4,500 psi because is will stress the compressor too much. I have been filling my tanks to 3,800 psi for three years now and my Yong Heng is still working like new. Thanks and best of luck.
Just watched this video, I'm eyeing the compressor. I have a Chinese hand pump for my Benjamin maximus. Works great, better after I cleaned the brass flakes off the o rings. My first pcp. Never going back, I can hit acorns at 20 yards...
When you get your first Yong Heng you will never go back. I think it is one of the best things to happen to the PCP world since the introduction of the under $500 PCP. Which PCP did you get? I think you are going to find that you can hit an acorn at 30 yards and a golf ball at 40 and even 50 yards not matter what gun you have. Just turn up the magnification on you scope. Thanks for watching.
I bought one of these in the UK 5 months ago (for £160.00 that's about $210.00), I freeze pop bottles full of water and throw them in the feeder tank
I would still recommend putting a damp cloth on the high pressure tube because you will find that is get almost red hot. Cooling that tube will go a long way towards the extended the life of the compressor. Thanks for watching.
Great idea! I’m doing that. Cheers!
Like the honesty thank you just purchased one today
For the money it is the best out there. But what I really like is that they forced other companies to produce a budget compressor. Thanks foe watching.
Aaron thanks for your video.
It is Christmas Day, 2018. What a nice way to spend some time!
Happy New Year!
Yep same here, good video for a lazy Christmas day, haha.
Best wishes to you and your family . Thanks for watch
First time here Aaron keep up the good work it would be nice if you show us step-by-step how to get the water out of the system was a little bit confusing about draining the air pressure then then turn it back on tightening of the air pressure and turn it back on and then let the air out I guess if you can make a video that's a little bit more clear on that by actually showing it I would appreciate it thank you again for your time God bless
I did not talk about how to get the water out because it is so easy. There is an air pressure release valve on the compressor and you just turn it and all of the pressure as well as much of the water shoots out. For the rest of the water is absorbed by the filter and you just have to change it when needed. Thanks for watching.
Great Video! EXACTLY what should I purchase to keep the water out of my gun and take. I am new to this so links, names and part numbers would be helpful. Stay safe and healthy
This is the one I purchased on eBay for $99: Just cut and past this on eBay: PCP air compressor 4500 psi oil water filter diving separator. Check out my video on the best way to install it. Best of luck.
Thank you so much. I am excited about the hobby. God bless you sir

Great review.
Can't wait to have mine. Just ordered their newest 110v version that has the auto shut off.
Great choice. Keep the fill pressure under 4,000 psi, change the oil on time and keep it cool and it will last for years. Check out my video on oil/water filters for the compressor. Best of luck.
Thank you for the review really great job I was looking at getting one for my paintball gun.
You will not regret it.
Thank you for the video great information new too all this so very thing is a learning blocks
If you get one be sure to check out my video in how to add a water/oil filter. Thanks for watching.
That happens to me too with the comments getting hidden away for older videos.
Yes I hate that but I have learned my lesson. I watched what I think is your latest video and I cant believe that you got up at 1:00 am to go shoot pigeons. That is dedication in spades. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the update Sir. I am about to order one of these and this gives me confidence that I'm not throwing my money away :-)
If you have the same experience as Ken and I you are going to live it and it is going to serve you well. Check out the video in adding a filter as well as other video on its use and care. Thanks for watching .
@@aaroncantrell8819 I hope so and I certainly will view all of your video's..I'm a little confused after looking at the Yong Heng on ebay. The price for the Yong Heng compressor jumps from $214.99 up to $389.00. They all look exactly the same to me and seem to be rated the same for psi etc. I bought my PCP guns first (I have five now) and I am just now buying the support equipment so any advice would be helpful, especially in terms of finding the correct air tanks in which to fill from the compressor at a reasonable price. Some of these things are out of this world expensive and sure not rich lol. I suppose you could if you wanted to fill the guns directly from the compressor? Been shooting air guns all my life and just recently added the PCP's to my collection of break barrels so I am on a learning curve with this. I'll wait to hear back from you before ordering anything. Thanks for your quick reply :-)
@@kaylamarie8309 you have to keep looking around eBay and also search for compressors in general. The Yong Heng is sold under other names as well. Because they are selling so well some people are taking advantage and doubling the price. It has also happened with the Chinese made P15, Diana is now marketing it and has changed the name and added $250.00 to its regular price of $500. But if you know where to look you can still get it for $500. It the same with the Yong Heng. So keep looking. Good luck.
@@aaroncantrell8819 Thank you Sir, I will try to do a little research and make the best decision.
Yanks again for a great review . I just bought a Nomad ll because my first Nomad ll stopped building pressure . I should have bought the Yong Heng !!!
Yes the Yong Heng seems to be a long lasting product with regular maintenance. Thanks for watching.
I am seriously thinking about purchasing one. Thanks for the video and the update. Enjoy your weekend sir happy shooting from new Mexico 👍✌
Wish I was there because its already snowing here. Shoot one of those huge jackrabbits for me. Thanks for watching.
@@aaroncantrell8819 Will do! We got lots out here. We need at least one or two more good freezes here and then it'll be Cottontail time. God bless brother.👍✌
I am looking forward to Cottontail hunting also but this year I am giving up on my 20 gage and will only use my PCP. I not get as many but it will be fun waling quietly and looking for them. Thanks for again for watching.
I put aluminium foil on the pipes to act as heatsinks.
That is a very good idea I will try it because I am afraid the wed towel may rust my pipes. Thanks for watching and for the information.
Aluminum foil will keep the heat in wherever it's crumpled against a pipe. Lay out many circles about 1-1/2" dia. on thin ga. aluminum sheet. In the center of each circle, drill a hole equal to the pipe O.D. or smaller. Hole saw out the bigger circles. Cut a line from the outside to the inside of each new fin. Smooth the inside holes using a fine rattail file. Each fin should set tight against the pipe for heat convection. Smooth the remaining surfaces using sand paper or a fine flat faced file, or a half sharp knife. Sand all flat surfaces using 600 grit paper. Paint using medium temp heat paint.
Bend one fin apart at the straight cut. Set it around a pipe, restraighten. Optionally each fin can be souldered to the pipe, keeping the bead small. Use hobby wire and make a wrap or two around the pipe above the newly installed fin, for a spacer. Repeat.
I think I follow what you are saying but we would really appreciate it if you would upload a video so we can see exactly what you are describing. That for watching and for the information. .
I wrapped mine in copper wire. It took a lot of 10 guage wire and a lot of sore fingers but works well
Good idea. Thanks.
Seems like a great buy... I’ve been considering the Air Venturi for a while... might have to rethink that.
Believe me and the others who own one and have responded to this video... I is a great item with an unbelievable price. Thanks for watching.
I received my Avenger yesterday I gain muscle because of my hand pump I'm searching for a good Airgun compressor. Sounds this one is candidate🙂 thanks for the review Aaron👍🙂
I know for the money it is the best thing out there right now. Best of luck and thanks for watching.
Best buy ever. Still going strong.
Keep it cool and change the oil and it may last forever! Thanks for watching.
Aaron, I tried your sock method, and old wash rags as well. Woo-Hoo!!! Man it works well! KnifeMaker/GTA
I have tried every suggestion except using radiator coolant. Nothing has come close to the wet rags on the high pressure tubes. Thanks for watching.
Best of luck.
Thanks for the review I am ordering one today
You are going to love it. Keep it cool, don't push it too hard (avoid 4,500 psi fills) and change the oil regularly and it will last for years. Thanks for watching.
I read people advocate running motor vehicle coolant instead of just water to avoid corrosion and gumming inside the compressor. Also, what about a pedestal fan blowing air towards the air cooled component of the compressor?
The best thing i have tried it to simply put wet rags on the high pressure tubes. It really keeps the temp down. Ice in the cooling water also helps.
Thank you for the review. Holds so much more weight when it is from someone who has put it to the test. I got my 4k X-Sight earlier this year and love it. Look forward to hearing what your thoughts are on yours is.
Good choice in both the compressor and the aTN4k. I love both. I just did a review update on my nephews Yong Heng and I will post it later. I have done a few reviews on 4K and also did some pesting with it. Love it. Thanks for watching.
I bought one a couple weeks ago for 220 shipped off Amazon and for a extra 40 bucks I got a 4year replacement warranty with paid return shipping.... I had a $1400 buck compressor that died after 3 years with light use. I only filled my guns no tanks. Pretty much a no-brainer which way to go....
I had a friend who paid $2,000 for a Omega and it went out after a few years also. Just think you can buy about 10 Yong Heng compressors for that much. I use to fill my guns directly from the compressor. My advice is to get a tank and a oil/water filter to keep these things out of your guns. I did a video on how to set up the filter. Check it out. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
You should do a review on the hatsen spark compresser
If II could get one I would review it. Look for other reviews I am sure someone has done one. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for your thoughts.
It was helpful.
Thanks for watching.
I have 2 large SCBA air tanks and my dive shop closed for at least a month so I assembled my new small air compressor. What a pain!! So noisy
Takes forever. Can only run 15 minutes max. No more. No more. I ordered an AYRTEKK BOOSTER PUMP. GOD I love technology. I can top off every rifle up to 300 bar or 4500psi in a couple flicks of a switch. USA made... Gotta love air rifles, I just have too many especially the 580 cc bottles. Lol
Are you using a Shoebox Compressor? I was taking my tanks to the scuba store and paying 10 bucks a fill. So I had to get a compressor. I was overjoyed to learn about the Yong Heng for $219. I was paying that much for just 21 fills at the scuba shot. With this compressor I can bring it from about 2,900 psi up to 3,600 in just about 10 minutes. I like you can fill the gun in just a minute or so. But your are right about the noise so I ware ear muffs. But it is not pain for my Yong Heng. I have too many tanks also. I have a one hour, and half hour and a Pony tank for the field. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
@@aaroncantrell8819 I'm throwing my new shoebox compressor in the garbage. Dive shop folks my SBCA for $7. And I ordered a 100% USA MADE Ayrtekk booster pump. Hey now That's right
@@stedyone1090 I must admit that I had never heard of the Ayrtekk booster pump. What a concept. It is amazing. I only found one site that spoke of the price. Does it actually cost $1,700? Something I will definitely be checking out. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Best wishes.
@@aaroncantrell8819 No.. That was Hunter Supply price. They dont carry any more I bought direct from Maddog stocks @ $1595. They just sold out. About 10 days I'll have it. You can run on 1 tank, or 2 tanks, or 1 shop pancake compressor and 1 tank
Simply amazing. 100% USA MADE All commercial grade parts. All connection s and micro hoses come with it.
Very happy . Can't wait.

Hi mr Aron great video I have a question about the scba tank can you tell me where to get the fill valve you got on it thanks?
You can get one on eBay at this link but make sure which connection you need as the scuba tank has a differnt connection than the rescue tank I us
Sorry I hit reply too soon. Here are the two differnet types. The one for the scuba tank is called a: Scuba Fill Station HPA Adapter and the one for my tank is called: SCBA Fill Station Charging Adapter Hand Tight CGA347. Make sure you get the right one. Best of luck.
Just getting into the PCP Air Guns and was wondering how the compressor is doing?
Good review Aaron!
Thanks for watching. Sorry this is so late but I just found your comment.
Thanks, Aaron. Great Information. I am a brand new air gunner. My rifle just arrived last week. I'm waiting for a bipod; then I will mount may scope for the first time. My last major purchase is a compressor and a tank. I'm going crazy out here trying to figure out which compressor to buy. I've seen some all the way up to $4500. This information was very helpful. Much appreciated. How long have you been shooting?
If anyone owns this compressor and have needle issues on the pump itself, there is a black rubber nipple you can pull out and fill the needle housing with clear oil and will fix the fast needle bounce (replace nipple after filling). Hope this helps someone.
I don't seem to have that problem right now but I will look out for it and will try your fix is needed. Thanks for the information. Best of luck.
After watching your video, I went on eBay. I have heard that some counterfeit YH's are on the market. I noticed that the ones I have looked at don't have the YH Pump Logo on the side, just the data plate which has YH and the Model number. Have you heard anything like this?
If you look closely at a Yong Heng and others an they look exactly alike you are looking at a Yong Heng with a different logo. it is like Artemis. One gun from one company but sold under different names. Thanks and good luck.
Thank you for this, very helpful.
Thanks for watching.
my yong heng is running sweet. fills my Huben K1 in under a minute .300 bar.
It is great for the money. Just think, a few years ago you would have to pay almost $2,000 for an Omega. Glad to see the prices going down and the quality going up on less expensive PCP and other products. Thanks for watching.
Great video Aaron 👍😎
Thanks. Sorry this is so late but I just saw your comment.
I came upon this video by accident. Now I’m glad I did, great review of a pcp compressor I didn’t even think about! You named the maker but not the model. Is there a particular model I should look for over the rest?
Everyone is telling me that you can get or order on at Walmart with a three year warranty. I just looked it up and it sells for $269.99 at Walmart. Here is the link: www.walmart.com/search/?query=yong%20heng%20compressor&typeahead=yong%20hen
Thanks and best of luck.
@@aaroncantrell8819 , thanks!
Considered this compressor the 300 seams to cheap. My air guy says at least 3 k for a decent compressor. But if your filing a scuba once a week that's all I use
Air is air as long as it is at the right pressure, and is clean and dry. This compressor does all that when you attach the oil/water filter i mentioned in my last video for under $350. If you check the videos and comments you will find that it has been in use for years without issues. Don't forget your air gun guy is first of all a salesman not a social worker. But if you have the money you should get an Omaga for $1500. That way you will feel good about it. Thanks for watching and best of luck.
I agree completely with the sales comment. So how long have you been using it to fill that scooba now? Id much rather spend 300 than 1500. I'm just kinda checking with guys like u who are actually using it. Have you had any problems with moisture
@@johnbrewer3639 no I don't think so but all air contains moisture so it will be present with any compressor. Check out my video I posted a few weeks ago that deals with the problem at a really great price. Thanks again.
Thank you for this video Aaron, been looking for this pimp for a while but have not made up my mind yet. But looking at this changed my mind and I will order one as soon as possible. I've been looking at some other videos on how to use the pump and I reckon that you should fill the pump with some oil right after you pull it out of the package, however I failed to see what kind of oil that was beeing used. Could you please shed some light on this matter? Thanks in advance from Sweden!
If you watch the reviews all you will see is happy customers. Be sure to get a oil/water filter for it and use Hydraulic Oil. Thanks for watching.
I really don't believe that someone will dislike a gun just because they think it is difficult to load. So there must be another reason. I have a .177 impact and it is more difficult to load than my P15. However I think that all .177 are difficult because we have big hands and .177s are so small. I have watched many video of hunters shooting rabbits, birds and even beavers there. I wish I could come there and hunt beaver once. That looks like a challenge. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the review. The one I got won’t turn over, unfortunately. Seems to be very high friction. What type of red connector are you using to attach to the carbon tank? I picked up a couple similar tanks but don’t know what adapter I need to attach a fill tube to them.
Sorry about you problem with the compressor. Will it turn over when nothing is attached to it? The red connector was the connection for the hose to the air mask. So I just ordered the parts to make the fill assembly. But I think you can purchase the whole attachment on eBay. Thanks for watching.
My suggestion is put the water bucket with distilled water in it, inside of a kegerator to keep it cool without needing any ice.
Good Idea but I just put wed face cloths on all the tubing and that works great. Thanks for the idea and for watching.
thinking of getting something like this for the same reason, not having to go the dive shop and it will save money in the end
Great
One guy commented that he was paying $20 per fill at a dive shop but was not sure about the Yong Heng. I said after 12 fill you could have purchased one. So he decided to get on. My compressor is still working after about two years. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for reply I am talking to the shops and I did ask them if the compressor could top up a 12 ltr cylinder they don't seem to know what they are selling , as it seem different for us in the uk
@@edgarmaynard9817 Ok best of luck.
Thanks Arron, looking into buying one, your review & advice is helpful. Does your unit have the auto shut off feature ?
No I decided not to get that feature because i didn't trust it. I like to monitor the filling. Thanks and good luck.
I've had my yong heng pcp compressor for 2 years , I ice my water down , I got a extra line cylinder and I use monecluar sieve in both to catch the moisture, awsome vidio very good information.
Glad to hear that you are having good luck with your compressor. I just ordered a sieve myself. Thanks for watching.
I’ve had my compressor the exact as yours . About a year . Like it so much I bought a 2nd . I’ve had one issue and this is the shut off relay burned out . The new replacement relay is on AliExpress and relatively in expensive. The relay is now a 40amp up from a 30amp . Other then that I’ve had zero issues . Upgraded the water cooling pump to a much faster pump and the cylinder runs a lot cooler . I like and am going to do like you do with the damp rag on the lines . Those things gets scalding hot . Nice tip 👍 thanks .
I learned that there were issues with the ones with the auto shut off so I stayed away from that option. I did not think of upgrading to a faster pump thanks for that and for watching.
Can I bring my tank temperature down by putting it in a ice bucket? I just received my pump today and I'm taking notes. I have the Hatsan 6.8L/ 4500 psi carbon fiber tank, and a brand new Yong Heng. Will the compressor have an issue with tank size? I do understand the heat/runtime and will have ice water running through. My question on tank temp derives from my HVACR background, but I'm not charging/recovering a HCFC.
I have a large one hour and a half hour rescue carbon fiber tank. I can recommend two things that will keep the temp down and prolong the compressor. 1. wrap wet rags around the high pressure tubes. They are one of the main sources of the heat. You will see steam rising from the tubes during the fill. Just keep them wet. 2. I never fill my tank past 3,800 psi. Those last 700 psi are the hardest on the pump. Never push that little pump to hard to long. Thanks for watching. Best of luck.
Can you fill a scuba tank with compressor and if so, what are the steps and procedures?
Just hook it up and fill the tank is what I have heard but be sure to use a very good filter I am told. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Aaron, ok guys here is a question where is the best place to get one , is any one place more reputable than another?
I got it on Ebay but when you do find it keep looking because I have seen them from R$219 all the up to $399. As for reputable: they are all the same so I don't think it matters where you get it. Thanks for watching.
Mr. Cantrell nice & informative video sir...I see the yong heag compressors on Ebay for 211.00 - 250.00 now...I'm in the market for a gamo winchester 357...how long do you think it will take to fill it to 250 bar ???
If you are going to fill the gun directly it will take on a few minutes. When we got it set up it filled my nephews FX Impact in not time. When I fill my half hour carbon fiber tank from 2,800 lbs to 3,500 lbs it takes about 8 to 10 minutes I think but I have never timed it. Thanks and good luck.
I hadn't heard too much about that brand, but I've been looking at other brands that cost twice as much or more. I could buy a Y.H. compressor AND a tank, for less than the cost of more expensive units.👍😺
I agree I have purchased my Yong Heng for $219 and two used 4,500 psi carbon tanks on eBay for around $200 and made a fill connect with parts found on eBay for around $75. The yong heng is a great buy and now costing nearly $300 but there are still deals out there. Thanks for watching.
I see units that look exactly like yours on Amazon at various prices under different brands: CLIENSY, SuxiDi, Topdeep. Are they all the same & made by the same company?
It is made at one place in China but many companies put their name on it. Go with the best price. Thanks for watching
Thanks a million. Good video.
Thank you for watching.
So how did you maintain moisture on yours? Also if your tank has pressure how do you keep from starting it under pressure? Thanks
Check out my video on Water/Oil filters and then ask me any questions you want. Thanks and good luck.
i bought one love it 'if you take care of it and us it properly it will last!
I had mine for almost a year and a half and it works fine. I just don't push it too hard and only fill the tank to 3,500 psi. Thanks for watching.
Hi brother just wanna ask, have you ever used coolant addictive with water too reduces fiction on temperature, or just plain water and ice ?
No I don't use coolant or ice. I wrap wet rags around the high pressure tubes. That is the single best thing you can do to bring down the temperature. If you try it you will see steam coming off the rags. Also your tanks will not even fill warm after it is filled. Thanks for watching.
Sir, can you tell me what parts I need to connect my scba tank to my gun. What comes off the scba tank (the large male threads) to be able to connect to the hose? Thank you
I am not sure which scuba tank fitting you have so here are the two that are most common.
Here is the link to the type for my carbon fiber tank: www.ebay.com/itm/CGA347-SCBA-Fill-Station-Charging-Adapter-Hand-Tight-for-Paintball-PCP-Air-Rifle/203295457308?_trkparms=aid%3D1110018%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.COMPLISTINGS%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818142838%26meid%3Df1efc8d4dd3840b79cca9784c1250174%26pid%3D101197%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpf%26sd%3D184461129365%26itm%3D203295457308%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DItemStripV101HighAdFee%26brand%3DUnbranded%2FGeneric&_trksid=p2047675.c101197.m1850

@@aaroncantrell8819 yrs, that's the one. Thanks
Is it still going strong? Interestingly it says in the manual to run it for max 1 hour or fill a 1litre bottle maximum. Well I filled an AGA 324 = 8 litres from 60bar to 280 in 36 minutes so it shure has to be pretty dang worn out to only fill 1 litre in an hour. :-)
My compressor is still going strong and I shoot every day and fill my tanks twice a week sometimes and I have had it for over two years. However I have never had to fill my large tank completely because it always has about 2,800 psi in it and I just top it off to 3,500 psi. That takes about 15 to 20 minutes to do. I can fill my FX Impact from about 3,000 psi to 4,500 psi in just a few minutes. Thanks for your comment.
Aaron how do you hoolup the scba tank to fill it from the air compressor? There is no quick disconnect on it like the small bottles to fill it.
I connect the female quick disconnect on the compressor line directly to the male connect on the Tank. I Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching.
Hey Aaron what fill station did you buy for that tank I’m thinking of buying one just like it but don’t know the type of valve
I use old Fire/Rescue tanks so I just fill them wiht the fitting that attaches to the gun probes. Take a close look at the videos I have done and you should see it. Thanks. Sorry this reply is so late.
Thanks the nomad 2 looks good
I like the Nomad 2 and would have one if the Yong Heng had not come out first. Thanks for watching.
hello good day, what a good video, the compressor bought it in ALIEXPREES?
Greetings from Colombia
It is a great compressor. To keep it running for years to come I suggest two things. 1. Wrap a wet towel around the lower tubs while fulling the tank. This will keep it cooler than any other method. 2. never fill your tank to over 3,700. I found that the last 800 lbs. stresses the compressor the greatest. Just some suggestions. Thanks for watching.
