This is good. I would have liked to see WD40 used just to prove that it is NOT a lubricant. And since this is a tippmann and the question has been asked before motor oil and automatic tranny fluid would have been nice in the test too.

or silicon lube that is used alot in the airsoft industy

the lube part applies to all poppet markers not just CVX valve guns (tippmanns), the polishing is basically a tippmann thing or most other cast markers.

If I were to polish my Vibe, would I just polish the body? And how would I know I polished it correctly?

Great data, good job on the test.
Wow, looks like dye slick needs to pull it together a little?

I would have liked to see hater sauce being used.

because its the same thing as synthetic air tool oil. It just has an e on the side of the bottle. At least I assume is air tool oil, its not the same as gold cup or we'd have too many agglets complaining about fried ego boards because gold cup conducts electricity while synthetic air tool oil does not (mineral based air tool oil still does though).

Depends on the setup.

If its an unregulated Tippmann or you don't change the mechanical dwell, then probably less shots. You'll release more air because the hammer is opening the valve longer.

If it is regulated or you reduce the mechanical dwell, probably more shots. That's because you can control how much air is being released (either through pressure or volume) and energy that normally would be wasted to friction is now being conserved.

It would be nice to get a shot count for each though!

So we've come to a conclusion that gold cup sucks? :huh:

Shoot, I always thought it was good stuff and recommended it to others. <_<

So what kind of oil is the best then? Tect T gun drops?

I've also noticed, that Gold Cup is very runny compared to the Air tool oil I bought at Walmart. Can we get a test of that?

That sounds about right. I noticed my air efficiency didn't change or went slightly down. I was bummed at first, but now got rid of the Front Air Regulator bolt and use a rear spring tension one. Combined with a Palmers Stab and a underboring the marker gets fairly good efficiency and consistency. It's as air efficient as my Tiberius T8 (polished power tube).
