Lube/grease what do you guys use?

[d4m4don3]

I was using kctrouble free lubes for my guns but just recently discovered the company went out of business. :wth:

So what kind of greases/lubes would you guys recommend?

I used kc hmp on my mini and borg but since thats out of stock I was wondering what to use next.

I use the regular blue kc oil on all 3 of my mags and on ss 25.

What would you guys recommend?

[mr doo doo]

i use nothing but Gold Cup :cheers:

[punkncat]

Dow "shock" lube, or gold cup.

This is the stuff I'm going to try. This sounds the closest (perhaps even better) to KC Trouble Free!

They answered my questions fast and shipped fast.

My first observation. This stuff is clear, seems a touch heavier/greasier than the blue KC Troublefree. (I do have about 1/8 bottle left).

My opinion and mine alone. Not scientific what-so-ever, I put a couple drops of each oil seperately on my thumb then rubbed it around with my forefinger. I noticed the KC Trouble free didn't feel as greasy/heavy. I continued to rub as I washed them off with plain tap water. Both seemed to wash off the same.

*(UPDATED 12/31/07)
I've tried the oil in multiple valves with lvl X, ULT, and the Autococker. So far, So good.... (So what.)

(FYI: I don't work for any of these companies. I'm not recommending anyone else to try them. I'm simply looking for an alternate solution of KC Trouble Free for myself.)

[Mind'sEye]

I been using AKA Extreme Lube in my Mags and Aliens for several years and I'm still working on an old 2 oz bottle of Slick Honey for the Mini. Both work fine.

[greezypete]

dow 33 on my cockers and mini

[ThePixelGuru]

Gold Cup/Autolube here. Never been convinced enough to switch. Any advantages of the other brands?

[senghing27]

Oils I use is KC Trouble free and gold cup

Lubes and Grease.

I use Hater sauce, Dow 33, and slick honey

[st6212]

And Lurker lube for my mini

I use synthetic air tool oil in all my markers. I buy it at Lowe's, but you should be able to find the same thing at any hardware or compressor store.

you have to be careful. some of the air tool synthetic contains petroleum.

I only use what was shipped with my Mag... If Tom sez it's OK, it's OK.

But that never stops us from tinkering with our Mags :)

I used to think like that too! And that's all it is. autolube=OK (petroleum)

[tymcneer]

KC Troublefree for oil, and Dow 33 "*******" lube for grease

If I can't find anymore KCs... then it's back to Gold Cup

kc autolube and gold cup

:cheers: ky for raiding the fort at home.

[Sn toter]

I use gold cup for my mags and...well everything actually...except my X7 cyclone ratchet, that gets superlube.

LOL. Im in the same boat as you. I purchased 6 bottles. 4 blue 2 clear. Im really glad I did now.

[robnix]

Astroglide makes for happy bananas!

:banana:

[LinearGoose]

KC, and some cheap Java one I bought when I first started playing pb again.

[custar]

Really? I will have to pay more attention to the labels. When I was shopping for mine, all I saw locally were 100% synthetic with no petroleum.

Not affiliated with this site just wanted to pass along that a Google search reviled they had KC in stock for 4.99 a bottle.

[michbich]

I use the lube that came with the mag. I also use plumber's grease, since it's a non-petrolium based.

[d4m4don3]

I hear tri flow is pretty good, anyone use it?

[bryceeden]

I use Dow 55 and Triflow. Both work very well, but are kind of hard to find.

[xmagman]

I hear tri flow is pretty good, anyone use it?

I use TriFlow on my Borg bolt o-rings and it works great. And I use Hater Sauce V2 on everything else.

I just ordered a 2 ounce bottle of tri flow from PBK.:coffee:
Along with a gen 3 cyborg ram. :clap:

[xmagman]

Along with a gen 3 cyborg ram. :clap:

Good luck with the Gen 3 Ram. I had one and it gave me nothing but problems. So I went back to the stock ram and haven't looked back since.

[dsrkd]

I use blue KC now for my Mags (still have a couple of bottles on the shelf). I use Super Lube on my FS7's and FS8. When the KC runs out, I'll give the Super Lube a try. As for grease, I have used white lithium in the way past on a classic when I tore the valve down completely.

[d4m4don3]

Good luck with the Gen 3 Ram. I had one and it gave me nothing but problems. So I went back to the stock ram and haven't looked back since.

Well I'm going to do some comparisons. I'll try everything stock, then drop the gen3 rammer and spring and compare. I have a snakeskin bolt that came with the marker when I got it but I have a feeling I'll have to use the stock. Heard the gen3 and the snakeskin don't play well together.

[nevtangle]

KC trouble free in my Mag.

Tr-Flow on my cyborg bolt, Dow 55 on the ram and Dow 33 on the regs.

[AirAssault]

A little KY works.... oh you mean for pb, I use wd40, isnt that good? :crazy:

[93civiccpe]

I have used a bunch of the above, and love KC trouble free and also Gold Cup. I've tried different mixes and the one I like the best and has given the best to me was some stuff called "type o positive marker grease". It was made by some paintball tech for the pros and was selling pretty well from what i heard, but now I'm having a hard time finding a source. Just a tiny bit went a long way and my fps went up a bunch just switching to the stuff. I may be going back to gold cup if I can't find a new source...

[Stygshore]

We use Tri-Flo on all 100 of our rental Tippmanns, and I have used it in my mags, cockers, etc - always seemed to work great!!!


I am currently using a mixture of slick honey and triflow that I did up mid fall when my slick honey seemed to be slowing my Mini down when rapid firing in the colder weather. Seems to work good so far, no issues or problems

Slick honey is Horried in winter and eats orings :( been there bad mojo.All my research so far has Hater sauce best for cold weather.:twocents:

Just a follow up on my above post.
I got my six bottles of KC in the mail today... That should last me a while...

been using slickoney for almost a year now, no o-ring problem, no swelling, stays where you put it

It is a little thick, an viscosity thickens in the winter time, but it still works. I do know that the Invert techs at Monter Game were even using the Hater Sauce for the Mini's, so must be nice stuff.

[Hell-Bunny]

I used slick on my matrix and within less than 2 months the orings had to be replaced. I dont mind replacing Orings but it was noticable degradation.Just wish they would put a warning on the package.
in the summer slick works like a dream winter lol i got fubar'd.

Dow-33

I'm gonna be in the marker for a new oil soon. Thinking about trying the stuff AKA sells.
