Stop being cheap. Solenoids will end up costing you more than a cheap HPA tank.

If it's a 3k tank it'll probably be less than C02 fills. You get less air (unless you get a very large 3k tank), however. Generally it's a dollar per 1k psi.

Yes, technically you could use an antisiphon kit as it is mentioned on teh Ion manual.  I wouldn't exclusively trust it not to get liquid to the 'noid, but you could do it.  If this is the route you want to go, you'd best replace the stock regulator with something that will also help block C02 liquid.  Do a cost comparison.  Antisiphon + Better regulator vs. a decent HPA tank.
