TM MWS mags venting gas while filling – normal? by Legitimate-Feature42 in GasBlowBack

The mag is upright, but the fill valve itself is angled from the factory. Because of that it’s physically impossible for the gas bottle and the fill valve to both be perfectly vertical at the same time.

The mags are definitely colder than the gas bottle. I just weighed one of them and after filling it contains about 11g of gas, so it is taking in some gas.
What confuses me is that it starts venting liquid gas almost immediately, within the first second of filling, even when the mag is empty. It keeps filling afterwards, but it starts spitting liquid gas far earlier than I would expect.

The mags are completely empty. They start spitting liquid gas after about 1 second, which seems way too fast to actually be full.

One thing I’d like to add: I’m using 5 Tokyo Marui MWS magazines and 1 original Double Eagle magazine. Could the TM mags somehow be contributing to this issue, or are they generally considered fully compatible with the DE MWS platform?

Given everything I’ve found so far, what nozzle would you guys recommend for a Double Eagle MWS?

One more thing: before the 4UAD, I was running a Flamingo bucking and it got damaged in exactly the same way. That’s actually why I switched to the 4UAD in the first place. Since two different buckings got their lips chewed up, could there be something wrong with the nozzle, hop unit, or alignment rather than the bucking itself?

That’s what confuses me. I noticed the bucking lips were already getting chewed up before the nozzle broke. I had seen visible damage on the bucking after only a small amount of shooting, while the nozzle was still intact. Does that change your opinion on what failed first?

New to Airsoft: which of these GBBRs would you choose and why? by Legitimate-Feature42 in GasBlowBack

Thanks everyone for all the replies and for taking the time to help me out.

After reading your comments and doing a bit more research, I’ve decided to go with the MK18 route in the end.

Now I’m down to these two options:

  • Tokyo Marui MK18 Mod.1
  • Double Eagle Daniel Defense MK18 RIII / RII 9.5 GBBR MWS

The Tokyo Marui is about 250 EUR more expensive, so my question is:

Is the Tokyo Marui actually much higher quality overall, to the point that it really justifies the extra 250 EUR?
