You should quick run out to the nearest church or synagogue and say some prayers of thanks. You were just a few milliamperes away from the big zap.
I’m about to buy a compressor and I think I’m going the yong heng route. I’ve had access and borrowed the Hatsan spark clone, but birthday is coming up.
I’m also looking into 45-60 minute scba tanks
What I read about the oil is, not so much dirty but shavings in it, what does the a magnet yield?
Consider getting the tank 1st (assuming you don't have one). If you only shoot occasionally you may find you don't mind a trip or two to a dive shop every month for a refill. If you need to fill the tank more than that, then a compressor is in your future.
On a side note: Does anyone know of a dive shop that fills to 4500psi?

I have about 10 big bores coming in for setup. Most .30 and 35. Just saw the aea challengers in 30 357 and a rainstorm. Plus my personal .257 I need to tether for long range.
The spark knockoffs ain’t bad for occasional shooter if you add another humidity filter. I ran 1 for 3 months.
Yup- You need a compressor.
FWIW- every time I get my tank filled they check the expiration date. Apparently it is a big no no to fill an expired tank.
I am in Burtonsville, So The north side of Baltimore is a bit of a haul. I can fill in Columbia to 3500 if I ask nicely. The is another dive shop in Silver Spring that i might have to check out.
The hydrostatic checks are mandated by Federal regulations, I am not sure about the yearly inspection. They can get fined pretty good if they don't follow the rules, not to mention the lawsuits/criminal charges should someone get hurt.
You run your compressor at 122 degrees? Wow, maybe I am too conservative. I generally stop it around 65 degrees.

So your system will hold at 50 degree C? Mine goes past that pretty quickly but will hold pretty well once past 60C. I use ice water and try to make sure no air is in the head. I am pretty happy with my Yong Heng too. It works. Surprised that someone hasn't come out with a better air cooled compressor or other. I've read that even some of the expensive ones die quickly.
Hope yours keeps working for you too.

I think my tank is around 2 liter. I refill around 2500 psi. I usually have to stop once or twice and allow the head to cool. When it is below 20 C I go. I also vent my air every couple minutes by opening the valves on the side of the compressor. I get tons of moisture out of the lower pressure side and some off the high pressure. So far the compressor does well. Wish it cooled a little better but I only fill tanks around once a month. That might increase since buying a higher pressure tank for my Texan. Supposedly it raises ft lbs of energy significantly, from 400 max to 600 max. Should be fun. I might be doing some crop damage this summer and it might come into play.
