Co2 is not compressed air

Using some commas to separate thoughts may help

Scuba Tanks are oxygen tanks, they won't fill HPA or Co2 tanks

HPA tanks are filled very fast, faster than Co2

Why do you care, do you have a second sensitive schedule or do you like to spam?

According to his horrible grammar the 02 can mean anything.

If he meant the year, he's an idiot.

uhm, o2 is oxygen, smartguy.

I fill my HPA tank with a scuba tank all the time.

Go away and quit posting, I hate people like you who give horribly inaccurate information.

Well, his grammaer wasn't that bad, only a few mistakes. But just from the context alone a reasonable person fluent in english can assume he meant an HPA tank.
EDIT- Oh yeah, and the fact that the title of the thread is "compressed air fill"

To answer the question, it only takes a few minutes to properly fill an HPA tank. But, it can be filled faster, but it won't be as full as it could be.

It takes like 5 to 10 seconds, depending on who is filling it.

Also, don't try filling your HPA tank with oxygen.

According to the most dire predictions, it *could* explode. Dunno how true it is.

HPA tanks are mostly nitro, that's why they and nitro tanks are exactly the same.

Okay, I don't have a clever signature zinger. So sue me.

????nitro and oxygen have all the same properties. the differnce is nirto is way more expensive.

^no if you put 100% oxygen in it could explode if there was a spark or something. nitro and compressed air are basically the same because the air we breath is 75% nitrogen. I doubt 100%nitrogen would explode either so they do have different properties. whats with all these misinformed peoples?
EDIT:anyways you wouldnt fill a nitro tank with O2 (pure oxygen) you'd fill it with N2 (nitrogen)

by the way, Scuba tanks are not filled with pure o2, they are filled with an Oxygen, nitrogen mix. And for being really deep i think they add helium.

Mmmmm...O2...might as well add some H2 in there too have yourself a nice big explosion.

79% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 1% other gases. Now thats what ya need there. Or just some N2, its all good.

Oh and dont screw around with N2O unless you want to die, or laugh....hehehehe.
