the pressures that you're planning on running are fine. it takes some fairly ideal conditions to get anywhere close to 900 psi and shoudl you actually get that high than be extremely cautious handling them...dont look directly at EITHER end of the grenade cus they can be a bit touchy after 800 or so. i once had a 40mm mortar from one that was between 850-900ish. normal charging conditions will typically be no more than 800psi though and they're stable at that pressure.

i cant speak for the multipurpose ones but for the 204's and 108's, you're primarily worried about keeping 2 o rings lubed. there's the small one on the cone valve and the one in the threaded cylinder that the valve sits in. basically a threaded sleave with 2 holes to unthread with.

what lube? i use rc shock oil but any o ring friendly silicon lube will do the trick. the purer the better. dont be afraid to be generous with the lube cus it'll shorten the lubing frequency.

i can tell you that those of us posting in here right now run 800 psi regularly and lube about every other game day or so...ultimately it's best to clean and lube after every game day but that's totally up to you. if you find yourself having a bit of difficulty charging than the odds are that he rings may be a bit dry and not seating properly so the first thing you do when it doesnt gas up properly is check those 2 rings. be carefull cus the tolerance for the ring on the valve can get nicked and need to be replaced. the smallest nick and it's over.

all those nades are wicked though...we've got like 50 between the 3 of us...hahahha...

oh...dont fire the multipurpose nades too close to someones head. they actually hurt the ears more than any of the others. ear piercing actually.
