This is what I do - I have a coiled remote with a slide check. When I first got the remote, I was playing with it and this is my experience. when co2 was flowing through the remote (without the marker attached - remember, I was playing) and I operated the slide check, because the o-ring was cold, it blew right away. The correct way to do it is with the remote still attached to the gun and not firing, operate the slide check (which de-gasses the marker). You hear a slight hiss of gas, then it stops. Now you can safely release the quick disconnect and remove the marker from the remote. When I purchased the remote I asked a few people what the slide check was for and no one could really answer. If someone told me they were getting a remote, I would definately say purchase a slide check as well, that way you can remove your marker from the line without gassing down the whole thing. Without one, you have to unscrew the pin depressing knob at the tank and loose all that co2. The slide check is about $10.00 .
