Went to fill my guppy bottle from 2500psi to 4500psi today. First time to use the shoebox. It ran for almost a hour and never did anything. What did I do wrong or does it take a lot longer then that to see progress.

Did you use a shop compressor too?
Did you open the valve on the bottle.
I have Shoebox Max and twoBenji tanks.
1 hour 2500-4500

Did you turn the bleed valve on the front off? You turn it out til it stops to fill and in to bleed off the air. Also, sounds dumb, but did you open your tank valve? Mistakes I made when I got my shoebox.

Yes, used my shop compressor hooked to the shoebox.
Yes, I screwed the bleed valve out.
My bottles are the AirVenturi bottles.
I will I’ll try again tomorrow. Hopefully I can get it to work or I will be buying the “Nomad II”.

Maybe try try the shoebox without the tank hooked up at all to see if any puffs of air are coming out the hose?

Started troubleshooting all fittings. Found small leak in my air hose going to shoebox ( probably nicked it moving things around in my shop ) and also found a leak at my filter attachment. Couldn’t get the filter fixed tonight but I did get the air hose swapped out with a extra one I had. So for now I am up and running.
