when i turn on my envy blackheart the first one or sometimes two shots little puffs are heard and no shot but then shoots fine, figured it was the fsdo so made sure the marker is set to the hpa setting which it is still having the same problem my dwell is at 27 ms as i have no qev.

Also i have used both stock barrell and other barrells but having some barrell breaks not sure if its the paint or just the rate of fire is too high the marker is set for 12.5bps as with no qev i dont wanna go higher any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

make sure your bolt engine is lubed properly and up yourd well another 2ms.see if problem persists

for the barrel breaks, make sure your loader is keeping up with the gun. check your eyes, make sure everything is clean

Have you changed the battery recently?

New battery

I have encountered this before, and typically when I have it's due to a generic or low battery, and/or lube. When I have had this problem and not had luck by messing with the dwell, I completely took it apart, wiped all o-rings and parts clean of old lube, inspected all o-rings, and then reassembled with fresh lube. This seemed to resolve my issues, but didn't really help me identify what the cause was unfortunately. Danny D has a lot of experience with these markers, and he may have some other ideas.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I typically run on CO2 and when I have had issues it was in cold weather. It likely could have been the battery being cold, and or the fact that CO2 in cold is not a good mix, but either way the same marker seems to be working well at the moment.
