    Posted: 12 May 2005 at 9:51pm

well....i ordered my Ion today so i guess i need a N2 tank. i was....thinkin about gettin a Crossfire 68/4500, but then i was talking to the company i bought my Ion from and they said they've had too many problems w/crossfire tanks (was told crossfire was the best N2 tanks out there by people but not sure anymore ). they told me to get a PMI Pure Energy 68/4500 tank instead. well i just want to kno what are some good tanks to get? im gettin a 68/4500 for sure and i dont want to spend more then $190. and also whats a high stubby and low stubby? and which one do i need for my Ion? Thanks for the help.


My DM7 and PM6. :)

They're both great tank companies.

But like I told you on aim fiberwrapped tanks are going to be very hard to find right now.

Stubby (peanut) is a term used for a tank that is shorter and fatter than usual. The high (800+psi) and low (400+psi) just refers to the output press. of the tank. You probably want a high output tank to make sure you don't have shot drop off and to let you use the tank on any other gun in the future. I'm just guessing, but the people you talked to carry Pure Energy tanks and had to order a Crossfire, huh? They are both good tank companies go for best price on a 68/4500 high output tank.

My brother has a Pure Energy HPA tank and has nothing but problems
with the reg on it. Its constantly leaking from the reg and the refresh
leaves something to be desired. I don't recommend them.

I use a WGP Worr Gas tank on my A-5 and have only had one problem
over the last 2 years with an internal o-ring wearing out, WGP fixed it up
and got it back to me quickly for free. I've also heard that Centerflag regs
are of good quality, much better than crossfire, but that's just from
reviews I've read as I've never used them.

Had my Pure Energy tank for a couple months now and she works fine. And like FyreFly said I've heard nothing but good things about Centerflag tanks.

Crossfire tanks are great. Very consistent with fast recharge rates.

Crossfire

Pure Energy

Centerflag

Any of these tanks will yield great results. My teammate just purchased an Ion as well but had to borrow my 68/4500 (crossfire) cause he doesn't have enough $$$ for a tank right now. He said it worked great and had no problems.

Crossfire>All others

Seriously, I've used almost half a dozen Crossfire tanks on different guns now, and I've NEVER had a single, even minor, problem on one. Great recharge, some of the lightest out there, and they even look pretty cool.
