What tank? (new thread)

[mark_426]

I had to get a few popular choices first, and what was reccommended on the original thread is now listed.


I'm going to use this on a speed, so I need a 400-500 psi input. Max flow was not reccommended because of the range HP vs. LP.

EDIT: Its multiple choice for those tough decisions

Thanks

i love my flatline, i love it to death, but for that range, its a tie between the conquest and the flatline, so i am remaining indifferent.


The AIR suffers too much from flashfills, and the others, well, i havnt had experience with em.

Dyna or conquest.

get a crossfire preset lp tank. there preset at 450 psi.

[mark_426]

hmm, i did have a crossfire hp and it seemed pretty good.

noone likes airs at all.. interesting

and its really looking like a crossfire or a conquest, probably a conquest

get the flatline.

[BajaBoy]

i would vote, but i couldnt pick between the Flatline and Conquest. :( its a hard choise between those two.

i would pick the flatline only bc i own and used one.. and have broken it down and rebuilt it so i know how it works. Again its prob the same thing with the conquest

[mark_426]

baja, its mult choice. you CAN pick more than one, for people in your dilemma. ;) im looking out for you guys

[Steelrat]

Id take the conquest ahead of a flatline any day, primarily because of the wieght difference. The conquest weighs over 1/2 a pound less.

But the crossfire is a better value, as it is about 1/2 the price of the adjustables. There are a few guns that benefit from an adjustable tank, and the speed isnt one of them.

Big reason why I chose it over the flatline, when you flip the conquest into the OFF postion the reg degasses the airline going to the gun.

[mark_426]

sounds like the conquest has the flatline beat basically all around.. wonder if the board is biased ;)

well, if I find a conquest used, I'll probably pick it up, or I might just get another crossfire. ill let it run see if AIR or something makes a comeback.

I have had an AIR too. Talk about suckage, it doesnt have an on/off its bulky and cost 500 bucks. The digital guage is nice and it does have a shots left in the tank calculation...

[elpimpo]

the conquest rocks

[Nick O time]

whatever you do i would not reccomend(sp) getting the air. many people have told me that they are a pita to fill and if you flash fill em sumtin bad happens(can't recall what at the moment)think like a spring goes crazy or sumtin like that dealing with the regulator.

[mark_426]

nick- its the cone orings, its like $10 of parts.. and for the price and size I'm going to drop it. I could literally get a conquest and a crossfire for that


Now, is the flatline better/worse than the conquest?

edit:
i think the conquest is lighter, and has the on/off and bleed valve in it, but which is more consistant, and a better value?

[Nick O time]

i have heard mixed reviews about them. i know the conquest is a hellof a lot lighter though. i have a flatty and love it and my friend has a conquest and loves it too. so i am not really sure, if you are going for weight savings then i would suggest the conquest. all in all they are both great tanks. i still love my flatty and probably won't get rid of it for a long time.

[mark_426]

well, I'm now looking for a relatively cheap conquest or maybe just a LP crossfire. the latter seems like what Steelrat said.. I'll just tell Bob to set it for 450. thanks guys, if you've got something else to say, go ahead

[GT]

I think at this price range its hard to say which is more consistant, just remeber each reg is desgined for a specific area make sure your application applies...
