Hi guys,

My Notos with Huben Cricket/Dream(?) valve managed to expell an O ring at the base of the bottle connector part. I’ve tried to grab the round part with pliers and a leather strip, but the pliers keep slipping.
I then took off the bottle shutoff valve and the fill probe to see if that would in any way lock the part in place but no luck.
So any suggestions or advise on how to get it to loosen Is greatly appreciated!

Mine leaked so bad at the other end of the reg where it screws onto the frame block and after trying every O ring I could get my hands on I just gave up and reinstalled my orig. bottle without the dream valve!

Try touching base with @Hajimoto , he might be able to get you higher durometer o-rings in the proper size. Some batches of the original o-rings were soft, problematic and blew out easily. Ask me how I know!!

No, mine was the pre plenum model. At the time I bought it, last November, they hadn't yet offered the one that fixes all the original leaking valves and after they came out with the plenum dream valve I discovered they offered just the replacement plenum alone for it, so I tries to order it, not once but three times and they kept replying "If you purchased it from AliExpress it won't work because the threads are different". Which was ridiculous because if it screwed onto the gun, which it did, the threads weren't different, that aside, I told them once I bought it from a PCP/Airsoft dealer and they sent me back the same message again. So the second time, I sent them pics of the valve in and out of the box and the cover with all their logos and stuff. That must have pissed them off cause I never heard from them again. That's when I said screw it and just sold the bottle, & valve on ebay and put it back to stock! Just a heads up: Anyone buying on of the new dreams should go directly to Huben Power .com for it. It's $149.00 pus an outrageous shipping charge that comes to a total of $167 or so but that's still a LOT cheaper than getting it for $249 from a dealer.
