I've been using a 3000 psi HPA tank for a while but constantly having to refill is getting annoying. It just doen't give me enough shots per fill. So I'm upgrading to a 4500 psi tank. The size doesn't concern me too much, as long as its at least 68ci. But I'm not sure which brand to buy. PMI tanks are up to $50 cheaper than other brands, but i don't know the difference between different brands. So basically, any advise on the brand to buy is appreciated.

Crossfire 68/4500 fiber-wrapped tank ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

How many shots would an ion get out of that? some of the tanks have set pressure outputs. Some are set at high and some low. Do I have to get a low pressure one because the gun i'm using (ion) is low (180 psi) or can you adjust it? or am i just being completely stupid and it has nothing to do with the gun's pressure ------------- http://imageshack.us">

What about a PMI carbon wrapped 68ci 4500 psi tank for only $150? Or a the same thing but 88ci for only $170? BTW, these are all new tanks on actionvillage.com ------------- http://imageshack.us">

The ion will run off eather high or low pressure tanks, they say it is a bit better off high though. In test crossfire regs out perform pmi's, but also cost about 50 more. For the size of the tank it realy depends on you, i had an 88/4500 and sold it because it was just too big for me, while a 68 is almost perfect. |

PMI brand will be fine.
Size choice is up to you and what you think you can handle. If you don't think the size will bother you, I'd go with the 88ci tank, considering your main goal seems to be less-frequent need for fills. |

ya that is why i want a bigger one. there aren't any compressed air fill places near me. so as long as PMI tanks won't break or anything, that would be fine. Size doen't really matter to me so i think ill go with the 88ci tank. thanks for the advise ------------- http://imageshack.us">
