Alright guys I have another question for you. I started running my bbmg on 1pound propane tanks a while back, but the problem is that the propane expands when it hits my guns chamber, causing everything to ice up, and jam. I bought a co2 expansion chamber online, but it does not seem to help.
i have it all setup on a remote-line rig, and i dont understand how a 5 foot hose, and an expansion chamber are not enough for the liquid propane to expand. If anybody knows any tricks that'd be great. thanks.
properly expand propane into gas.

are you sure liquid propane isn't getting into the hose/gun

i simply solved the same problem like this:
propane cylinder>ball valve>expansion chamber (1'' steel pipe nipple.)> main firing valve (blow gun)> vortex block.
This design has 2 effects.
if you open the ball valve, wait a second and the close it before shooting, you get a 20-40 round burst.
If you leave the ball valve open, usually only part way, you get full auto.
This approach causes a "Over cooling" of the gun after a few seconds.... over cooling takes a lot longer than if you had no expansion chamber.

liquid propane is getting into the gun, thats my whole issue. jhalek, thats almost identical to the setup im using, i just dont have the valve. the reason liquid propane is getting into the gun is because i have the tanks upside down, because when upright they only get about 60 psi, and that barely makes my gun shoot properly.
