Can any tell me about how heavy a full 88ci/4500psi is? Also, a 70ci/4500psi? I dont know if this matters but it would be a high pressure tank.

Depends if it is fiber wrapped or steel. Fiber wrapped wouldn't be too bad, but a steel 88ci tank would be a considerable amount more than a 20oz CO2.

Comparing 88/4500 to 20 oz....... Ehhh.... The 88 is considerbly heavier than a 20 oz (yes, a fiber wrapped and unfilled). Not that much though. A little less than double I guess. So if you have a 20 oz, just multiply the weight by 1.5 and you have yourself a 88cu tank (unfilled that is).
