or if you have the money like 3 scubas and that, the you can cascade the fills getting bigger fills for longer(by cascade i mean filling off of the tanks in order every time you fill)

im lookin for a complete set up, all i gotta do is get my bulk tanks filled...where can i find that, and for a descent price and about what is the price ranges for that stuff

If you can find a boat dock, they would do it. Its like 3.50 around here to have a scuba tank filled at the boat dock.

I'm not sure where your lost?

Do you have a bulk HP air tank?

If not you need one.The simplest bulk HP tank to buy and get filled is a Scuba tank.

If you DO have a bulk HP air tank,then you need to find a place that will fill it.(Welding supply,or other 'Gas' suppliers)

If your using a non-standard HP bulk air tank(other than a scuba tank for instance),you will need to buy or build a manifold the will connect the bulk tank to a typical paintball quick disconnect.It must have a on/off valve capable of handling 3000psi+ and have some sort of bleed off valve.

If you DO get/have a Scuba you only need the fill station I previously posted to connect the Scuba tank to your HPA tank and start filling them yourself.

how safe is it to fill ones own tank? ive heard that you better know what your doing or you might get yourslef hurt...

No prob,that's why we're here.;)


As for the Scuba,the fill station I posted will connect right to a standard Scuba tank and your paintball HPAs fill nipple connects right to that.

You simply connect the fill station to the Scuba then your HPA Pball tank to the station.Close the bleed valve(small knob on the station)and open the scuba valve,very slowly.Watch your gauges and allow it to fill as slow as possible for the least amount of heat build up.If you fill it to quckly it can and will get HOT.You don't want that.Just take your time,it will only take a minute or so anyway.Then,close the Scuba valve and open the bleed valve.This will release the air pressure in the fill station and then pop the Pball tank from the quick release and your done.

I highly suggest using the AGD SS QD's. they are very very nice and dam tuff!

this seems pretty simple, and since theres no HPA around me i might try it, but where can you buy scuba tanks and for how much. Also, where can you get the bulk tanks filled?
