What are everyones suggestions on a new compressor under $600 USD? I think I may have burned up my Yong Heng compressor today!!! Thinking about going with something a little bigger!
Are these compressors internally water cooled or do they require a bucket like the Yong Heng?I second the CS4! It's essentially the same compressor as the CS4i, it just has an external power supply, which keeps some heat out of the compressor! At GX Pumps, it's $130 less than the CS41, with the same capabilities.

They are all self contained. The water tank is built into the unit. The only difference between the CS4 and CS4i is the power supply. On the CS4i, it internal, which in my opinion introduces additional heat inside the case and makes it a bit heavier to carry to the field. Other than that, they are identical.Are these compressors internally water cooled or do they require a bucket like the Yong Heng?
Thanks for the info! The site says it will fill a 6L tank. I have a 9L. Just to be clear, you are saying it would have no problem filling the 9L tank as long as it's done in increments. I would not be feeling it from empty. I would only feel it from 3,000 to 4,500 psi.I think the GX CS4i or CS4 (external converter) would work especially filling in increments. Amazon has both on sale with discounts available.

I believe if doing it in shorter intervals, yes, it should be fine. Heat is the main factor for causing compressor issues. I would do 5-10 minute fills then stop, let it cool then repeat.Thanks for the info! The site says it will fill a 6L tank. I have a 9L.

Would that be filling from empty, or feeling from say 3,000 psi?I believe if doing it in shorter intervals, yes, it should be fine. Heat is the main factor for causing compressor issues. I would do 5-10 minute fills then stop, let it cool then repeat.
Depending on how much air is already in the tank. Since it is a larger tank than what they recommend, check how warm it is running. I would still do it in increments but if low air in the tank a little longer in the beginning, then in shorter intervals.Would that be feeling from empty, or feeling from say 3,000 psi?
You're welcome!Sounds good....I appreciate the help! I think I am going to go ahead and order!!!
I have a Yong Heng but think it burnt up!If you are filling scuba bottles I would recommend the Yong Heng.
lots of factors to consider but eventually they will die.I have a Yong Heng but think it burnt up!
Yeah knock on wood. Only problem I had earlier on was the power supply and that was address by GX with a improved one. I do plan on getting something larger down the road and use this for a backup or travel. So far this little tank keeps on ticking.thats pretty good
