    Posted: 06 August 2004 at 1:07am
I was thinking of getting a HPA (high pressure) tank for my 98c. Just
not sure which brand to go with, there are so many out there. Are
there any big differences that anyone knows of? I already have a
palmer regulator that I've been using with my CO2 tank. But I want
to go with something a more consistent air system and a bigger shot
to tank ratio. When I switch to a HPA tank do I need to do any
changes to my 98C, it's pretty much stock right now.

Also...What are the pros and cons of a Low pressure system than a
High pressure system?

I have to say crossfire or nitro duck. Nitro duck has some pretty good ones like the plasma seriers.

Thanks for the help.
So it seems to be a concensus between Crossfire and 3A.
I'll have to ccheck out pbreview and deccide from there.

Anybody have an answer to my High vs. Low question?

Nitro Ducks are the best screw-ins on the market. Just get a plasma series hp preset nitro duck. They go for $180-200. Or you could get the X-Stream adjustable for $230-250. Really, there's no reason other than price to even consider another brand. But then again, you get what you pay for. Crossfire, Centerflag, 3a, PMI/PE and ACI make good tanks, but Nitro Ducks are better. I would have to say that Nitro Duck is like the Lapco/Palmer/AGD of tanks. All 3 of those companies are known for their extreme precision and perfectionist attitudes and Nitro Duck is no different.

And now for High vs. Low:

A low pressure setup will give you better shot to shot consistancy, accuracy, efficiency, quieter operation, smoother operation and less kick. That's why people opt for the lp kit. I loved mine. It's a great upgrade and no nitro equipped tippy is complete without it. It's a good idea for any gun to go lp... except for mags of course. They need high pressure.

Yup just screw it into your asa and you're good to go. BTW, www.paintballwizard.com has plasmas for $189. Not even worth considering anything else.

Thanks for the help warbeak.... One more thing though....
On a low pressure setup would you get more shots from a tank vs. a
HPA setup?

Yes, you are using less dense air and thus you can dip deeper into your tank with a lp setup. For example, a stock Tippmann CVX valve runs at about 800psi. That means that when your nitro tank gets down to below 800psi the gun won't fire anymore. A Tippmann with ther LP Kit will run at about 300psi. That means your tnk can dip lower and still be able to fire.
