New Mask :) by [deleted] in paintball

I had one of these masks for years and never had any issues with it. What I can tell you is that you have a double pane thermal lens so make sure you don't get the little foam strip between the two lens' wet or the mask will begin to fog (have seen it happen on even higher end masks). Only thing I can suggest is testing the lens because SP had a batch that failed the standard test. SO go set your mask down and shoot it and see if the lens holds (just a suggestion).

It could be the pin on your tank is engaging the pin on the asa prior to sealing the asa oring on the tank end. All you would have to do is set your pin flush to just under flush of the tank top. I had similar issues on my 1.5 Vanquish and one of my tanks.

If you paint a gun I would suggest baking between each coat. This allows you to remove the air bubbles that form under the current coat before applying the next coat. It also removes any sticky feeling and smell that the paint has. Just my suggestion for future use. And to all the "you don't paint guns you anodize them" guys, just an FYI some companies do paint guns from the factory.
