I know dwel is something like the amount of time the solenoid stays open, how much does theis effect performance and air effiecency? Where should your dwel be set? How do you figure this out? Anyone have some input?

it varies for each marker. If you really want to play with it search around and find out what others are trying. At one point i heard you get your FPS set where you want it and reduce the dwell one at a time till it affects the FPS.
That said, I'm a believer in leaving things stock since the manufacturer knows more about these things than me. Also, seems like the more you tinker with something the more it needs tinkering and is more likely to fail.

Check the manual to see if you can either count blinking lights or the screen to see if it tells you how to check what the dwell is currently set at

I see in my ION manual how to count the lights, but it doesn't say where it should be. I haven't looked at my Ego manual yet, but I'm about to. I was told by a team member that I may have it set too low and that's why I'm having some issues with distance.

I have an Ego 9, and I have no idea what was changed as far as settings go before I bought it. I do know I can shoot over a case of paint on my tank though, and that I love.

I'm a little worried about raising the dwell and loosing air efficiency in it. I run a Pinokio hopper, always with the long nose cone and most of the time 8 Pinokio pods, 10 for final battle, I stll have air after shooting through all that, and I don't want that to change. I'm not much of a long baller anyway, but it would be nice sometimes to be able to reach everyone that's able to reach me.

Don't mess with your marker I willl look at it our next game.and fine tune it a little.But if your getting 10 pods and a fully loaded Pinokio I would say leave it alone.

Yeah I am getting a lot of shots on my tank, but my tank is also a Ninja 90ci tank. I seem to have a little issues with distance, Conor thought it could be a dwell issue, but if you could look at it when we're at the field next time that would be great.

If distance is that big of an issue, try an Apex and/or bore match your paint. But 10 pods is a ton, im lucky to get 6 and a hopper with my Geo2 but thats what works for me.
Like SuperDan said, i wouldnt mess to much with the Ego. If it aint broke dont fix it.
