What Air Tank?

[magman007]

Ok, I have a little over 300 to spend, and i want an air tank. I really wanted a 4.5 flatline, but i cant find em any where. So then i was thinkin max flow, but there like 380. im still thinkin maxflo tho. either that or a 3k flatline. ther cool an all, but the maxflo is better imho. but i still want a 4.5k flatline. any suggestuions?

Hmm. I would got w/ the 4500 flatline if you can find it, b/c I love mine. I hear macdev tanks are good, or maybe an Air America 4500 Raptor. I think the Air America go for around $300 (correct me if I am wrong) But I habe no idea what the Macdev go for. I have just heard they are good.

I like my PMI Pure energy. Theyre cheap and the luxofer (sp) looks nice. its about 180-220 for that

If you cant afford flatlines centerflag hyperflows are always nice.

[Kevmaster]

the adjustable centerflags with on-off are about the same price as the AGD

[FreshmanBob]

all those tanks are good but the mac dev only goes to 600 psi, you want a little more input to your mag than that

[RT_Luver]

I say go for what ever flatline you can find...I love my 3k. but what ever, if you dont want a 3k and ccan't find a 4.5 go with the max-flo...but I think its a bit big of a reg IMO

I'm not impressed with mac dev's regs at all.

There is a reason behind the reg being so big. It's DUAL regulated. Technically it's a Preset tank, then it has a secondary Max-Flo reg on it. Think more along the lines of a flatline with a Gladiator reg, or a Armageddhon with a vigilante. That is what the Max-Flo system is, hence why it's so big. The only other one's that have come out with anything remotely like it is the PMI pure energy one's. They have the preset tanks, and a screw-on reg, T.H.O.R., to create the same effect.

With that said, Max-Flo's are awesome, but go for the Flatline if it's your pref.

I do believe that Armageddons are dual regged too, but I may be wrong.

The reason people think it's dual regged is because they think it's a screw-in tank into a reg. When in reality it's a tank that has a reg that only will hold the pressure in the tank, like a CO2 tank. If you screw that directly into your gun it will put 3000psi or 4500psi directly through your lines. The black reg is what moves it down for you to a more feasable operating pressure.

For less than $300, you can't go wrong with a Flatline 68/3000. PBGear.com has them in stock for $269. Who knows, they might even ship you a 68/4.5k by mistake (as happened to an AO member recently!).

hehehe that was me :D :D :D :cool: :D

for mags may i recommend....

Obviously the flatlines... 45k is the only way i would go if i was going to get a flatline.

then you have the dyna flow and hyperflow which are amazing tanks, i would take them over the flatlines.

macdev conquests are absolutley amazing but the thing is they dont work well with mags.

and i dont believe a maxflow will work well with a mag also concidered its duel regged same with the PMI thore reg.

I would go with the Centerflag tanks they are nice.

plus for a rail adapter you have this :

As you know I use a Max-Flo. I think it works awesome. There was a guy at my local field with a Max-Flo and a Retro valved mini. He set the pressure up to 900psi, let it go full-auto with no shoot down. The tank kept up great.
