Anyone know any good light HPA tank that works well with an x-valve/e-mag/x-mag?

-Must sustain 15bps well
-Must be light.
-Prefer 4500psi

mabey something like a 'penut'. don't care what brand.

Thanks,

Kevin

they are all lighter now actually....

CP
DXS
NitroDuck
Crossfire
Stako ( I am not sure I would tempt fate with these, even as light as they are )
Guerilla Air
Centerflag

I personally use a 70/4500 peanut Nitroduck I-reg - I purchased a piston kit with it that allows me to easily set output to 400, 600, 800, and 1000 - the last one being nice for mags


The rest will put out 800-850 psi, or you can shim them up higher

Correct me if i'm wrong, but stako makes only tanks for the european market with PI certification instead of DOT. Either way, i would not reccomend them, because a lot of tanks turned up leaking between the alu neck and fiber wrapping. (including mine) :cry:

Thanks for the help so far fellas.

so basically, its personal preference on small tanks like penuts. I'll look at some reviews.

Wasn't there some sort of scandal at millenium about this? Stako pointed out that the main cause was due to improper filling of tanks that caused the issue.

The Stako problem was cleared up and the tanks are in fact allowed to be used again. A lot of the so called leaks werent even leaks but air escaping from parts of the tank when the inner pats expanded from the pressure.

i really like crossfire tanks...if you have a mag go for an adjustable, like a flatline installed to a body, armageddon is decent, lighter than maxflo

The Stakos are suuuuuuper light. Doesn't feel right at all! We've come along way since Co2 :)
