So I just won me a Pure Energy 68/3000 HPA tank off ebay for $119. First of all is that a fare price? Secondly as I've asked questions before about c02 blowing my slide checks o-rings, I was wondering is hpa easier on o-rings? The last time I used my remote the o-ring blew and froze the hell out of my slide check. Obviously hpa wont freeze o-rings, but will I burn through them as fast while using nitro instead of c02? Thanks

No, that is pretty expensive.  To give you an idea, I've won two fiber-wrapped 114/3000 tanks off eBay for less than $100 each two years ago.

Quote I was wondering is hpa easier on o-rings?

Yes.

Doubtful.

Thanks StormyKnight. I forgot to mention it was a Canadian ebay store, everything is more expensive up here.
