Where to cut for cvf
As the Title implies, where should I cut to cut out the check valves in my guns. I want to cvf my FF and my CPS 2100. I know you guys are going to say to cut the orange part out for the FF, but all of my FF's internals are orange!

I don't know how many times I must explain this. The check valve configuration follows the exact same pattern for 90% of all water guns. How do you think I can identify what parts are which? The pattern.
The Check valve freezing has an image of the check valve of a Super Soaker CPS 2100. Problem #1 solved.
Take a picture of your Flash Flood's internals and I will draw on the places to cut. Otherwise, simply look at the Max-D 6000 or CPS 2700 pictures and cut in the same spots. It's exactly the same as those two water guns in most water guns.

Sorry, I just wanted to make sure. My parents think I am just mindlessly "Hacking" my soakers apart when I mod them and if I were to actually mess one up such as cut in the wrong place, I would probably lose the privelege of being able to buy more soakers.

I don't know how all the internals are orange. Hunter's looks exactly like mine. I lost the link to hunter's but here's the link on my site.
Edit: I've always wanted to ask this: How does a check valve work? Is it a one way valve that has a pretty strong spring in it to keep the water back?
Come to think of it, how do one way valves work?

This is how one way valves work. http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/ ... ster3.html
You see that orange piece of the Flash Flood? My entire gun's internals are made in that color. I guess I will have to cut that orange part in your picture out of my soaker then.

What is removed in Check valve freezing is NOT a check valve. It is a pressure-relief valve. You can buy similar valves at some hardware stores and online. The whole name "Check valve freezing" really is incorrect, but it is recognized well and there has been no effort to rename the modification.m15399 wrote:How does a check valve work?

Check valves (i.e. true one-way valves) are very easy to understand. A spring usually pushes a slit of rubber against a smaller hole. The pressure and the spring prevent the water from coming through one side, while water can move freely through the other side because the spring will contract in that direction. I have built check valves before with leftovers springs, but they were far from professional quality, so I would suggest buying them at all costs.

Hunter gave me a little help on it. He cvf-ed his FF and said to where to cut. I have the section cut out and the gun just needs a little epoxy (I ran out, can you imagine that) and I will test it. The reason it needs the cvf is because it has a water worm mutant's bladder over it's original bladder. That makes the bladder more than twice as thick. After it's internals are reinforced and it's nozzle is nozzle drilled, I will take down some stats.

Use a better saw - or possibly cut past the spring somehow.
Are you colossusing it? If not, then don't bother with the CVF.

Exactly what I'm doing. I posted this in the "Any flash flood mods out?" thread, but I can't seem to find that. We plan on using the two sizes of LRT that Ben recommended to fix a CPS 2000, which means power similar to that of a CPS 2000. We will colossus that to add even more power. I already ordered the LRT (see my latest thread in the new users forum). To top that off, we will laminate the FF blast.it's pointless to do a CVF unless you're doing a k-mod/colossus!
