Btw put about 6 tanks through our new b5pro tonight, headed out to get some more tomorrow to be ready for this weekend.
I measured a safety pin that come out to be about .62mm.... Maybe a paper clip or something? .5mm is ideal, but, I think Ron would agree, .7mm is acceptable. Maybe not.... It's My Opinion.... My point is, find an object, like a safety pin or whatever, to use....
