Invert Mini Cleaning and Maintenance

[X1HellsSabre1X]

great video and great help. thanks!

[YoungFellow06]

how often should you do this?

[IFoxMcCloudI]

does this void the warranty? I know it does for the empire

[playwithmeskinler]

great! thanks!

[sctamca]

Thanks for the quick and clear video!

[pollymk322]

at first, the mini seemed to be hard to take apart, but after watching this,it helped show me it was very easy to, thanks :D

[endproductions15]

does anyone i tighten some bolts on the gun and the trigger seems a little more shiffer

[thecerealkiller123]

at 4:47 is it a battery? if it does, do you have to change it after a while?

[kinngofmurder]

Hay I was just wondering if anybody knows how 2 change the modes on the mini with a tadao board

[esotericfilms]

how often do you do this? after every day of paintball?

[I3UDDYLOVE]

@esotericfilms You should... If you don't, don't be surprised when your gun breaks in a few months.

[Rawrudie]

How Many times do you have to clean it? Every Game?

[BunkerBreach]

i think you touched the check valve

[TheOneProfessional]

im not exactly sure why this is happening, but when i try to walk the trigger on my mini, it will just shoot a few balls, then shoot like 7 or 8 rounds of air, then a few more balls, and so on.keep in mind this is only happening when i WALK the trigger (shooting very fast), if i shoot with one finger (like 6 or 7 BPS) its fine. Its not the hoppers fault cause when i put the hopper on my friends gun he could shoot close to 20 bps with it, so its not the hopper.r balls getting caught on feedneck?

[SaLVAgEKillZ]

@TheOneProfessional if the balls drain (fall out of the barrel after walking the trigger) then u probably have a leak / air tank could be unscrewed a little....thats if u have that problem though??

[SHADOWKING1203]

@TheOneProfessional did you lube your gun in the right places cause i learned recently that a little lube in the right place while dry firing with air afterwords it might make it work just try and try a few times

[wyttale]

Here is my problem...The small check valve that you said to be careful with, well it fell out!! Sucks right? But anyhow, I found it and know where it goes but the thing has a smaller diameter on on end than the other. Which way does it go back in??

[SupremeAmerican]

Oh. I thought this was about the ruger mini 14.... now i wish i had a paintball gun :(

[gmanvideos123]

@datrob ur screwed

[sk8jrd12345]

@YourIllegal No you don't necisrily have to compoletly strip it. You can clean the eyes via cleaning the breech when you have the bolt out. But the thing that you do have to clean every time is the bolt. You should take it out clean it and lube it up.

[drostomian]

thanks a lot for this vid man very well done and i learned a lot!!!

[twitchey93]

Mu smallest allen key wont fit those damn tiny screws what do i di?

[lilrichie582]

@twitchey93 ....get a smaller allen key... complex eh?

[twitchey93]

Wow thanks that was a great video very informative and detailed i was worried working on it was gonna be a nightmare

[twitchey93]

wow i got one of these yesterday for a 100 bucks with a 68/4500 tank and a vlocity hopper. I practically stole it.

[YourIllegal]

hey i havent been paintballing for long and i just got the invert mini for my birthday and i was wondering if im suppose to do this every time i go paintballing. please answer

[MrZmang1995]

i just got this gun like 5 days ago and i have paint on the grip and i was wondering can i was the grip if i take it off the gun?

[janney93]

amaxzing video soo helpful literally just baught one and the eyes were dirty as anything now there all better



[basisazombie]

Awesome vid!!!! Thank you!! =)

[Draymaya]

would it be the same way for the gen 3?

[Imannoyingimtold]

@Draymaya yes

[DatRob]

hey that silver dot next to the where the eyes go what is that a magnet? cuz i was cleaning my mini and it came off and now my mini dont shoot how do i fix that or is it screwed? plz help

[billybobjoehon]

great help man thanks

[spartin72]

do you know where i can get a case like that

[DiRivalX]

Is that the 3rd generation Mini? cause that is a nice case with it, i hope im getting a 3 gen mini ^_^

[SickAudi]

damn you know your guns.. i just got bak into paintball and bought a 2k1 dark angel LCD, and am buying a invert mini sunday, any tips and tricks would be real helpful, thanks man

[khyzizle]

Where did you get that case from

[DeZirEdx]

whats the solenoid and how do u make it do that



[DeZirEdx]

how do u shoot it like that without a tank on. like its not the trigger hitting the gun but idk if u know what i mean its like your dry firing without any air

[PuddleJumper27]

@DeZirEdx he wasnt dry firing it. That sound was just the solenoid clicking, not the bolt moving

[faflee180]

Would you be able to do a video by shooting it and showing how to change modes on it. Please

[faflee180]

Thanks,that was very helpful.

[Yumyumtuna]

Great video.

[dtp4life1]

HI I JUST FOLLOWED YOUR MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION AND EVERYTHING WENT OK THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT DOESNT MAKE A SOUND WHEN I PRESS THE TRIGGERS LIKE URS AT THE END AND I ALREADY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND NOTHING HOPE U CAN HELP ME THANKS

[Sh3pardMelody]

@dtp4life1 Why the fuck are you typing in caps.. are you 10 years old?... hold down your trigger and hold down the the button at the same time to turn it on.. it will disable the eyes and let the gun free fire

[HeyYo101]

WOW THANKS SO MUCH DUDE! I was really nervous about taking the mini apart because it looks really complicated but you made it sound so easy so I tried it and it was really easy :P i chopped like 5 balls yesterday.. =/ fucking shitty paint

[ppewxy]

i would never do this on a bed. just saying.

[TheAsianPr0digy]

Can you snych this with a prophecy?

[NoShaDow36]

@TheAsianPr0digy if you have an rf or a board that will link with a prophecy board but you would need to upgrade both boards for the second option

[Wolfman92111]

Great vid! Thanks man! VIRTUE FTW!!!

[FalconswrathPB]

Ok regular maintenance is easy ignore the part where he disassembles the marker to the point where you can remove the sensor board and the part where he removes the foregrip and the main body screw the one under the trigger guard all you need to do on a REGULAR basis is remove the bolt guide and bolt clean and de grease everything then run your fluffy stick (make sure it's clean and has no debris on it) through the body and breach then re grease everything with some Dow 33 or similar product an

[Firebird7901]

Good Video, thank you

[99josh7]

Should i clean and lube this before every use or...

[Mrskim4real]

i have played about two in a half cases with it should i clean it now?

[AnbuBlackOps4]

@Mrskim4real how do you like ur mini im thing aboput getting one

[Mrskim4real]

@AnbuBlackOps4 dude i love it ive playes with it an had maybe 4 cases threw and its truly amazing deffinatly recommend

[AnbuBlackOps4]

@Mrskim4real awesome thamks

[NickScott96]

cuz on the inside i cant get the second screw out

[NickScott96]

how do you take the regulator off the mini. like where you put you tank in

[invert10mini]

is it hard to clean it cause im getting an invert mini and i dont want any problems

[s3an831]

i play about three times a month how often should i be cleaning it? i have been maintaining it every two to three months

[MrChadGrover]

@s3an831 you should really clean it before every time you play. The key is to put a little bit of grease on the orings and clean it every time. Alot of people load it up with grase and barely clean it. I clean it everytime and have had great succes with it. Looking to sell if anyone is interested has dye rotor virtueoled and peanut tank

[1crackwh0r3]

are you sure you should clean the eyes like that

[esotericfilms]

My bolt is so hard to pop out it pisses me off!

[esotericfilms]

how often do you do this?

[MRwieduwilt]

@esotericfilms every time you play.

[teaminsanitypb]

should i get a mini

[CanadianBigGame]

good video well done thanks

[dOREOZ]

i have like the new invert mini and it doesnt have a poppet its weird

[gilbertvelasquez]

THANKS!

[kyokopuff]

is this the v 1 mini cus mini doesnt have the spring

[kyokopuff]

@kyokopuff haha nevermind im just dumb andd didnt push the whole thing out

[PSSProduction]

so the silver thing is the solenoid?

[SmokeTheMist]

thanks for the vid im thinking of getting one of these .... would it be bad for the gun if you clean it weekly or monthly ?

[ThinkBigStie007]

@SmokeTheMist i got the same mini and i clean it each time i play just to be sure to keep it in good shape...(clean and works well for a long time and you minimize the chance to break pieces)

[ThinkBigStie007]

@SmokeTheMist i got the same mini and i clean it each time i play just to be sure to keep it in good shape...(clean and works well for a long time and you minimize the chance to break pieces)

[PILSBRYDOUGHBOY]

Great video

[esotericfilms]

the bolt in my mini is really hard to take out! any suggestions?

[Paintballpdh19]

push through the breach neck with ur finger... that will make it a little easier when pulling it out

[paintballftw69]

ive taken apart the mini to the last screw it isnt hard

[DENIETOR154]

If you chop a ball in the gun do you have to do all that stuff to clean the eyes and shit? pm me.

[Paintballpdh19]

yeah because paint and shit will go EVERYWHERE throughout ur marker

[brumakerbitch]

i dont thiink all this is neccesary. all u really need to do is like clean the barrel clean the eyes and whipe through the middle

[penguintheskater]

do these guns get alot of problems???

[callofduty399]

@penguintheskater NOPE!! THERE AMAZING!!

[Paintballpdh19]

no they are great for the price !

[sicksurfer1]

thanks hopefully this works

[wormtail113]

THAT is a clean color dude

[wackypac1026]

i just orderd one in dust blue

[GoPaintman]

what kind of virtue board is it

[Paintballpdh19]

the invert mini virtue board. i dont think there is any other

[motorcrossman17]

when i pulled my bolt out the silver bolt that hits the ball didnt come out i had to separately pull them out

[wiilikepie]

@motorcrossman17

Thats how it should be

[XxAbsoluteRaNdOmxX]

you dont need to do that all you need is to remove the bolt and lobracate it and that is all.

[bubaliziouz]

so how you clean your eyes?

[painball658]

thank you so much great vid i subscribed

[Paintballpdh19]

thank you

[skaterookie]

thanx helped a lot 5/5

[Paintballpdh19]

ur welcome

[Masteratwork0789]

hey mine doesnt have the spring inside the gun why?

[facist7]

@Masteratwork0789

i know you probrobly already figured it out by mow, but it probrobly didnt come out all in one peice...look down the hole where the bolt was and there should be a silver ring inside, pull it out, and theres your spring

[MH721]

whats the difference between this version of mini, with the metal box. and the latest version of mini?

[Slip4life12]

@MH721

Metal box was for generation 1 mini so they can sell more. They had a bunch of problems. Now they have generation 3 or 4 already but now they are great guns so they don't need preps (metal box) to get people to buy it. I just bought my mini today and shot it alot. I love it. It's a great gun, my friend has the first version is it keeps failing. So overall metal box was a prep.

[MH721]

i have a gen three mini. when did the fourth one come out? is it in different packaging? where can i find a 4th generation mini

[Slip4life12]

@MH721

I don't know for sure, I think it's just gen 3 still.

[esotericfilms]

how often should you do this, and why do some people not use their eyes.

[Paintballpdh19]

do this once every year or if u chop/break a ball

[paintballftw69]

crap thats wen they had a suitcase now they have shitty cardbourd

[esotericfilms]

it's so you can tell the difference between gen 2 and gen 1. gen 2 is cardboard.

[esotericfilms]

Thanks this really helped!!!!

[Laajayyjayy]

nice vid. very helpful. thanks.

5 stars.

[Siviratrox]

thx dude ;) that was helpfull

[Paintballpdh19]

thanks

[tjnstudio]

How often should i lube my mini? I'm soon getting one and would like to know, thnx.

[MURRAYAPM]

can i use the lube in the tool box it comes with

[deadwoodbear]

The lube with in the box is dow33 I believe, and its what Invert suggests. Whatever the factory suggests will always be the proper lube.

[hardvvood]

where did you get that case i really need one!

[scr1be]

what trigger do you have on it?

[Paintballpdh19]

stock

[34bighitter]

@Paintballpdh19 would you say this gun was "difficult" to clean? or wasnt it a problem for you?

[soupytuna88]

the backcap i believe its called the cap at the very end that has the little invert icons. what does that do if u tighten it or loosen it? does it so anything or is it just there for looks cause i took that off thinking it would let me pop the bolt out but it doesnt . just worried whenever i put it back on if it would of done anything to the gun

[dirtrideryellow]

Does the mini come with that case?

[mrwaffle06]

Not anymore they stopped they give you carboard boxes now

[ZeroAssault]

duh.....

[hypedonmonster]

dont minis use autococker threaded ball detent screws

[shocker426]

yea always a good idea

[shocker426]

i still dont know how but my friend put the spring in wrong and when he shot it shot out the barrel

[Lboyer1992]

one side of the spring is littler than the other side

[SilentGhostFighter]

hey um on my mini i have a leak coming out of the bolt do you know what i should do?

[Bighoff123]

it happend to me too.....

I went to any paintball field and/or shop and they fixed it for free!~!!

[DSAsauz]

yeah? but uh, i dont have any pro shops round here, what should I do?

[artard1456]

maybe the poppet is in backwards :/

it happened to me and i just turned the poppet around and it stopped,

remember, no orings should show on the poppet or its in backwards

[HillbillyPaintball]

new o-ring

[INVERT52]

plz reply my previous comment

[INVERT52]

wat color is the mini dust blue or polished blue (blue)

[Paintballpdh19]

polished

[danward5]

would u recommend doing this after everytime u play, or just once in a while ? thanks

[Paintballpdh19]

every year or if u break/chop a ball

[Paintballpdh19]

yeah

[INVERT52]

What gun case is that and where can i get 1

[airsoftking360]

its the old case they changed the packing\

[cweb94]

thanks alot, those two tiny screws on the board are a bitch

[espltdm251playa]

man if i do that im pretty sure it will never fire another paintball ever again lol

[shocker426]

i know exactly what u mean

[HeyYo101]

@espltdm251playa i just took mine apart it was easy :P

[espltdm251playa]

@HeyYo101 i ended up selling it

[mrlonley7]

what kind of bolt is that?

[gamerguy765]

Good breakdown, thanks man

[ozbozz8]

the virtue board is the board that comes with it right

and what is the eye on a paintball gun?

[Paintballpdh19]

no its an after market board and the eyes tell the gun when their is a paintball in the breach

[xFaTaLxBiRtHx]

dude wtf is that annoying noise in the backround its like a poping noise!

[Paintballpdh19]

its my crappy camera

[OminousWeasel]

Amazing job, this really helped me since I just got a mini myself. Thanks a bunch.

[prete0990]

what are eyes (on paintball guns)

what does it do???

what is it for?

i'm just getting into paintball

[larsen550]

Great video and amazing gun. I use to just use the old Tippmann A5 for woodsball but I bought the mini to try out speedball, simple and easy gun.

I have shot probably ten or so cases of paint through it, would you recommend lubing the bolt and what type of lube?

[DSAsauz]

yeah lube the bolt, it says to use dow 33 lube

[onlyiwouldknow]

why does ur bolt have a spring? my mini doesnt have 1

[Paintballpdh19]

i must, when u take ur bolt out stick ur finger in the body and feel around maybe its just staying in there when u pull the bolt out

[onlyiwouldknow]

yea i found it

[donzinms]

great vid! no offence or anything but u really dont need 2 do all of that 4 regular matanance...

[zakmasur35]

this gun seems like there are so many parts that there would be so many problems

[Paintballpdh19]

not at all this gun is the easiest i've ever delt with

[dasicokid4rumdasout]

Why do you have to lube the O-rings?

Does it make it not stick?

Thats what im thinking...

[Paintballpdh19]

it helps the bolt when moving so it dosent get stuck.

[imacsolo]

Nice vid, I just got a mini so this is very helpful

[PBkid42]

what are the best board settings?

[Paintballpdh19]

it realy depends on what u like and how u play

[spikeysoda]

whats the differnce between the vertue board and the board i come w/

[MatTennis141]

More modes and faster bps...

[Paintballpdh19]

and also a lot of more settings

[chrome89K]

nvm... some say lube , some say grease sorry

[chrome89K]

actually hes right, its LUBE, NOT GREASE

[tricky1130]

Theres no actuall need to to completely disassemble your gun to get to the EYES,you can just use an earcleaning stick to rub over the eyes and its fine..Mini has good eyes anyway. and then just dismount the bolt and make sure u grease that in and not LUBE like you said

[yoshi8944]

wait a minute theirs a vertue fer the mini??!?!?!?! scince when
