pmi tanks

[Shockerboy18]

on a scale of 1 to 10what would you rate a pmi tank

[mykroft]

On a scale of presets, 10, on a scale of all air systems, 7 (With no presets rating over 7)


The PMI fatty 88/45 works great on shockers btw, and it's only the length of a 68.

i owuld say 7 too. the tanks are realy good. its just that thier pre-set

10 all the way. because who needs adjustable tanks, for mags i mean. my pmi gives out 850, thats perfect for AIR valves and gives u a nice reactice rt trigger but not run away. plus if u are goin to use an autococker its a nice pressure to run into ur vert reg. its perfect for blowback guns. its also perfect for angels, the recommended input for angels is 800. so i give it a 10 cuz for me theres no need for adjustable tanks unless u want to mess around with an rt.

I agree - they're a 10. Inexpensive - great flow and make my RT sing

pmi tanks are nice. i had one problem with my 88/4500. the problem was the fill nipple o ring blew resulting in no way to keep air in the tank. after 1 call to pmi they sent me a new fill nipple assembley with the inner pin and oring without even asking for anything like a reciept or warranty info or even them wanting money for the shipping or parts. i recieved the parts throught the us mail within 2 days. pretty darn good customer service im my opinion.

Presets I say 9. I've never had a problem with my 68/3000, and I have used it on my Fokus, model 98,and cocker without any problems.

I think they're some of the best tanks out there for the cost. I have a 88/4500 and it's great. I haven't messed with an adjustable but i have no need to, i agree with CpSuPeRkId, a PMI's all i need.
10 all the way.

I run my Emag off a 68 stubby.....nuf said.

8, my first one, 15 min after i filled it the valve blew off (seriously), but i got a new one and it works great.

well, my 88 3000 is awsome for the size and the performance, its great. I'm still kind of afraid of the thing though after watching a kid with the same tank begin to unscrew his tank, (which was full!) and the regulator began to come apart in the middle. I was was reffing and patrolling around the staging area looking for barrel plugs at the time so luckily I caught the kid before he continued but i still get nervous when I see a new player with HPA.

My friend's PMI tank had that problem too- it started to unscrew in the middle of the reg. That is scary, we tighten up the the two screws on the side and that seemed to fix it.

i would personally go with the crossfire over the pmi ones. at the chicago open, the guys form crossfire had a table with 5 angels w/ and armageddon, maxflow, crossfire, and pmi reg, and something else. all of the angels were identical, and they all had nice oil filled guages measuring the pressire. on automatic fire, the pmi jumped around about 300psi below 850 and took a while to recharge, i guess that it dosen't matter as long as you have a good secondary reg.

but the crossfire ones along with the maxflow, and the armageddon the needle stayed in the same spot pratically, with a verry small slight twitch.

I owned a Crossfire 68 4500 before i got my PMI and i found no difference. Only reason I decided to change is because the 88 was the same size but held more air (my field doesnt fill 4500 psi) and someone wanted to trade with me.:p

if your gun has a secondary reg on it, the output of your tank can be all over the place, and the reg in the air valve or whatever will make it far from noticible.

i suppose it really dosen't make much of a difference

Yes, all you have to do is tighten the allen screws
