I figured out that if you had two , or more fill ports you could hook up 2 , or more compressors to fill a larger tank more efficiently.

Vevor JUNK.

I like my Yong Heng. In early April it will be 4 years old. Replaced one O ring once. Pressure gauge stopped working but I use the one on my bottle anyway. I use Nuvair oil and change it once a year. I refill my 45 minute bottle about once a month in under half an hour.

If you obey the duty cycle, always mind the temperature, and perform cleaning and lubrication every few hours run time a $200-$500 box compressor can last. I just have a stock of 2 replacement pistons ready to go and a cylinder and head from an old one who's motor burned out as backup stock. The pistons and replacement seals are $50 a kit on amazon from tuxing. Most of those single cylinder Amazon shoebox size compressors use one of two piston designs. They're mechanically simple. A little upkeep and care can keep one running a while if you don't exceed the duty cycle and keep the running temps low. I never run mine more than 10min nor let it reach even 40.0c (indoors). For a 500cc fill from 140 bar to 250 it takes usually 6-8 min depending on air conditions.

I'm thinking you would want check valves to keep one compressor from back feeding into the other?
Would that be a thing?

In the manual of the broken Vevor I got it says you have to do maintenance, after filling a 500 cc bottle. I did not know that until I bought it , and got my hands on the manual. I did have Vevor send me new piston seals , and rwplaced those.I never over heated it .
Its something else.? You have to tear it apart to put motor oil in the cylinder.
I ask them to replace it , but they offered me $63 guess I have get what Ican
The 8mm fosters are a check valve.
They don't let any air go but one way.

I was just saying in general with the smaller compressors you can get lucky, this wasn't a direct response to you.
