It's the regulator on the tank that makes it good or bad. Tanks are [pretty much all the same. (Except for steel and carbon fiber)
What regulator are you planning on getting? BTW, a 114ci is a pretty big tank in case you didn't know. ------------- Watch your thoughts they become words Watch your words they become actions Watch your actions they become habits Watch your habits they become character Watch your character it becomes your destin |

So are you playing paintball or SCUBA diving? 114ci is HUGE! You really should consider a smaller tank such as a 68, 70 or maybe an 88.
Carleton tanks are good, Luxfers are better. But seriously, what makes or breaks a tank is its reg. Better get a good reg on there or it will be pretty worthless. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

After consulting my SCUBA diving brother, and some simple calculations, I have figured out that you could stay underwater for approx 42 seconds using a 114/3000 tank. (Since SCUBA tanks are 3000, I had to use that)
So maybe he WAS going SCUBA diving, what's the big deal?  ------------- Watch your thoughts they become words Watch your words they become actions Watch your actions they become habits Watch your habits they become character Watch your character it becomes your destin |
