I have just brought an e-mag and now I need a nitro or compressed air tank. What kind of tank would you suggest. Need about 800 shots per fill. Also where can I get a good price for one.:confused:

Get a crossfire 68/4500 or a PMI 68/4500. Those are the best tanks for the money.

An 88/3000 should get 800 shots.

Yeah but he may not always be able to get a 4500 fill so 4500 could be pointless unless his field fills up to that pressure.

it would not be pointless because you can get a 4500 tank only filled to 3000 and it would be good to have if you go to a place that does fill 4500. you can always go down but never up

Nitroduck. does evryone forget that they exist? They are a bit pricy. Megareg (adjustible) with toughskins 3K tank for 315. But they are very consistant and it is cheeper to upgraid to 4500, about 115 to be close. They are the best tonks i have ever seen. I have used other tanks like angel air but like nitroduck better.

I love my nitroduck. It's glasswrap though so it is a little heavy.

I like my duck tank but I like my 3k flatline better my brother has a center flag preset I don't like it and the output pressure goes down as tank pressure does get to 1200psi tank pressure and it is only out puting 500psi go with a flatline or tuffskin duck

I only have around $200 to spend on a tank so I'm thinking about getting a 68/4500 or a 88/3000. They both have around the same amount of shots per fill but I want to know how much bigger is the 88/3000 compared to the 68/4500. If it's not that much larger I would go with the 88/3000 since i would save $50. I don't really know much about nitros since I nevered owned one before so can you guys also tell me which one would be better in the long run?

If you want to look used you can pick up an old style AA Apoc 68/4500 for about $200. You can't beat that reg's consistancy or reliability. A lil heavy tho.
