HPA and remote lines

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm planning on making the jump to HPA this summer. Now that I'm out of school and making some money, it'll be significantly easier for me to get all the necessary gear in one go. My question is, can I still use my 3000psi remote line if I end up purchasing a 68/4500 tank? HPA exits the bottle at about 850psi, so I imagine something three to four times that pressure is safe to use, is this correct?

Also, my greatest problem with shopping for paintball equipment is that it seems like very few manufactures seem to have websites that I can find. I like shopping (or at least researching) through first-party sources, but for some reason, I can never find websites for a lot of the brands I see. This tends to pose a lot of confidence problems when I get ready to spend my lazily earned cash. 

With that, does anyone have any recommendations for HPA tanks? Appreciate the help!

	Not for retail sale.

	You can use your 3000 psi remote line with a 4500 psi tank because the 4500 psi is the storage pressure, not the delivery pressure.
