Just remember, there is give and take. Lower dwell means better efficiency, but its also harder on the paint. You are forcing the same amount of air out in a shorter period of time making the firing cycle more violent. It probably won't affect your Mini, but just sharing a thought.

Hmmm... Not sure why it would have affected your accuracy. But if it did, cool beans. Just make sure you reset your board to stock settings with a brand new NAME BRAND battery before you tune with your new bolt and spring kit.

And like he said before, set your board back to default (28) snd chrono your gun. Drop five blinks and chrono again, repeat untill you notice a big drop in fps and go bac up five blinks and go one blink at a time untill you notice the drop and then go back up two. It will take a bit of time and paint, but the result is so worth it. On a side note, my Mini has far less kick than before as well.

hey, like Melon said...before you do anything you need to fine tune your dwell. settings on your Mini could very easily be significantly different than another mini as each marker is unique. as an example, i have a DM6 and the stock dwell setting is 18ms and the stock LPR setting is 3.5 turns out from flush. my DM6, however, shoots 280fps at 14ms and 2.75 turns out from flush. here is a post i did regarding fine tuning and there is a link to an Excel workbook that tells you how to fine tune your dwell and has spaces for recording your shots.

Sweet-spotting your Dwell

good luck!

The manual says: "It is strongly recommended
that a very high-fl ow “low pressure” (350-450 psi) fi xed-output system is
utilized as an air source for your MINI. If you are using an adjustable output
regulator system, the output pressure should be between 350-450 psi."

Isn't there a chance of wrecking the regulator on the mini if you don't turn down from the bottle?

None at all. I believe most people run a HP tank of their Mini without issue. The regulator on the Mini was designed to handle the 700-850psi from a hp tank. I think they state that in the manual because it might be difficult to unscrew a HP tank from the ASA.

That's why many of use use the New Designz Thread Saver On/Off.

OK, now I know what you mean. I watched the TechPB video High Pressure & Low Pressure Paintball Tanks. I don't have an Angel so I don't need a low pressure tank. Now it makes sense. I'll get one of those thread saver on/off.

It is one of the top upgrades for the Mini because it will not only make it easy to screw/unscrew your tank and thus save your ASA threads, but it also purges your marker. No more having to shoot out the remaining compressed air after you've unscrewed your tank!

I have the same problem i have to drive almost two hours to get hpa!

So i invested in a used scuba tank. About 110 bucks for it. It wont fill my 68/4500 to capacity. But trust me it helps alot i can probably get 10 fills above 1000 psi. So im not having to drive 2 hours every couple of days.

And filling is extremly simple ive only almost blown my self up once
