Independence for Airgunners: the SMACO Portable Compressor 

Thank you, friend 🙂 That's sth I may look into. That Lithium battery thing sounds interesting.

Thank you kindly, Keith. That thing works great so far, I hope it doesn't disappoint in the long run either. Thanks for watching, mate, these fear update videos are usually of little to no interest at all.

Thank you, Mike 🙂 For the tip too. As for the car engine running - I expressly stated it in the video.

@@AirRifleActivities Going to cut off the croc clips and install an Anderson connector next week then it will just plug in, no need to lift the hood/ bonnet of the car. The great thing about the Anderson connector is you can only connect it one way so no risk with polarity issues in the dark. They can be found on ebay for around £10 or 11 euro

Well said, Pete, thanks 🙂🤝

Thank you, Manny 🙂🤝

Thank you, Hasse, for the tips too. GX contacted me about a fortnight ago. Something I may look into. Cheers 🤝

Thanks, mate, I'm glad I could be of assistance 👍

Cheers, bud 🤝 A lot of people say the same.

@@AirRifleActivities I got a tuxing filter with 2 filter inserts on Amazon for about $50 US. They've gone up since then though

I agree not sure if trust that filter to keep moisture out looking at the amount came out when bleed screw was undone..

@@Airgunfunrich I have 2 Yong Heng compressors and a Spritech AC/DC compressor that “Sounds” exactly like the one you have. It came with a small tampon style filter. I change it out about every 6-8 fills. Honestly I only use it when my tanks are low ie…3000 PSI and a few of my gun want 4350 PSI like my Liberty,and my Avengers long and Bullpup. It tops them of fairly quick since I used the remains of the tanks to bulk fill. It only runs for maybe 3-5 minutes and the temp NEVER hits 50C. I let the fan run till the temp is below 30C. For what ever reason it will not work on my LCS SK-19🤷‍♂️. The air keeps coming out of the bleed valve after filling to 250 Bar. Do have any suggestions for this issue sir? I drained the air out, removed the foster fitting, cleaned and greased with silicon grease yet it seems as though the bleed screw doesn’t allow enough flow to close off the valve on the foster fitting. I hope you know what to do cause several others don’t even get what’s happening🤷‍♂️💯

@@heathhalfhill6401 someone on one of the forums had same problem I’ll se if I can find it for you

Thank you for the tips and your comment, boys. For watching too 🙂 Heath, I hope you find a solution to that weird problem.

Thanks for the comment and the tips, Steve 🙂

A useful device indeed, mate. Thank you.

True story, Mike.

I'm sure it's a good one, John, thanks.

Thanks for watching, mate 🙂

Thank you, Mark. I admit I wasn't aware of that 🤝

@@AirRifleActivities To be honest, I don't know of any case in relatively modern times (we are talking from late last century) where there was such a hydrogen gas explosion from a lead-acid battery due to an electrical spark. Maybe that was because of training but it may well have been because most modern batteries running with modern charging systems don't generate a lot of hydrogen gas even in the worse case. Still, if it doesn't take a lot of effort to make the spark that happens when you complete a circuit occur away from the potential problem, then you should try to do it that way. This advice includes jumper cables as well!

Gracias, hermano. Good to know it's a unit that has already managed to get recognition in Chile 🙂

Thank you, Nigel, I hope it was useful at least to some extent.

Will watch out for that, mate, thanks 🙂

@@AirRifleActivities Definitely do! :) In my case it always happens when i use these type of compressors for fills close to each other, like when tuning and you constantly need to refill. If you bleed off the valve and you feel wet air coming out chances are high it will spit wet air through the hose if you use the compressor again within the next hour. I always run the device unconnected from the rifle and hold the hose close to my skin or lips to sense if the air is dry or wet. Sometimes this is not even needed as you can literally see drops flying out. Changing the tampon in the connector will not stop this. If air is wet i would advice to let it run unconnected for a couple of minutes, do the skin/lip test again, before hooking it up to your rifle. Good devices for travelling and quick fills. Not recommended for heavy use iow many fills per day bc of wet air issue. Learned the hard way :)

@@jakobiller thanks for the tips, brother 🙂 I definitely don't use mine ona regular basis - at least at this point.

Thanks for the tip, Dave. I'll watch out for excessive moisture in my gun. I still use my diving tank too.

It really is a good device, thanks, mate 🙂

It really is, still works flawlessly.

@@AirRifleActivities Nice. I’m still watching other reviews, but I’m leaning towards this one. Thank you. 😁👍

Gracias, hermano 🤝

Thank you, brother, it's a useful item indeed 👍

@@AirRifleActivities verdade

No, it isn't forbidden, buddy, I didn't fill it all the way to save time and make it less boring for viewers.

@@AirRifleActivities شكرا على المعلومه 👍

I think it's rated up to 2 liters, mate. Check the website of the manufacturer. I haven't tried a 3 liter bottle with this compressor. I'm not affiliated with that brand, I just made a review of the unit. Thanks for watching.

@AirRifleActivities hello, its me again, I have the 3L, smaco compressor can refuil 0.5 to 4L scuba bottle, my 3L refuil easily take about to 40min, 40min with some "used" air already inside

That's what the manufacturer says, Dave - that it's a particle and moisture filter.

Still working flawlessly.

@@AirRifleActivities ok going to buy one along with my first pcp…Notos

No, mate, it won't. Like I said in the video - up to 500 cc.

Yes, you can fill up to 300 bar a tank with a volume of about 1 or 2 litres.

Raul, use the link in the description, thanks.

​@@AirRifleActivitiesIt doesn't work

@@nerotsirc5043 it's an older video of mine, they must've changed something... Try googling "smaco". But better yet wait for about a week or so - I'll release a video of a much better unit 🙂

Cheers 🙂

I hope you're happy with its performance, Edgar 🙂

Cheers for the thumbs up 🙂
