max-flow

but since there is an agd product and a non agd product, we all know who will win, i wouldnt choose based on any poll taken here, try em both out if you can, my max flow is very very nice, ive had many types of tanks and this is by FAR the best ive ever had

What do you find to be superior about the Max-Flo, compared to the Flatline?

Thordic

From my experience, the Flatline is a good solid performer, consistant and good flowing.

The MaxFlow, however, is MORE consistant, and flows just as well.

I voted for the MaxFlow.

I hate to say it, but I am voting for the 91cuin Flatline simply because I have it and have absolutely no experience with the Maxflo. Yes, a 88cu in stubby tank cover fits very nicely over a 91cu in, I have a Dye Rhino cover over mine.:D

has anyone had any problems with a max-flow 4500 or with a flatline 4500?

i just noticed how big an 88ci tank is. so a 91ci tank would be freakn'HUGE. i've usally played with 68ci tank and hadent been aware how big an 88ci tank was. i guess if i get the 91ci i'll have to invest in a huge drop/cradle like a dropzone. could someone post a pic of an 88ci and a 91ci tank next to each other?

Performance wise I doubt there is much difference. I voted 91 because of the tank shape. The 88's are too long. The 91's are about the same length as a 68 but bigger around. I have to wonder why you want more that a 68. At 45k thats alot of shots. I have a 68/45 apoc 2k and have never run out of air in a game.

i mostly play "outlaw ball" at a friends speedball field and so i don't want to have to play a couple games, run to KAPP and get the tank filled, and then come back and play some more. if i went to "real" fields more often, then i would get a smaller tank. another reason i want the bigger tank is beacuse it's the same price as a 68ci.
Jack and Coke- mabey someday when my house needs to be painted i will hook it up to a wagner ;)

i think you need to invest in a scuba tank :)

Spray Painter

10-01-2002, 07:58 PM

most scubas only fill to 3000psi for the first couple of fills and then only fill at 2500-2000 for the rest of the time. and if i got a 3000 psi tank i would want a flatline but they don't make those anymore.

DryIce

10-01-2002, 08:01 PM

yes, but atleast you would have the 4500 tank for when you didnt play renagade...
trust me... running out of air with nothing to fill off of sucks... get your friends to help invest in one or two!

Spray Painter

10-01-2002, 08:23 PM

I see, to bad almost all the people i play with still use co2 and the people that run on nitro "don't have any money" for stuff like that:rolleyes: also when i get everything i need i will have no $$$$ to by that stuff myself. also Phil said that the 91ci tank is as long as a 68ci, just bigger around, Any one want to confirm this? does anyone have pics????

DarkPhoenix

10-01-2002, 08:34 PM

Actually the picture of the 88cu in in DryIce's picture is of the 88 long bottle, I have an 88cu in long bottle on my Flatline 3000psi. The 91cu in bottle is closer in size to the 88 stubby, and compared to my 88cu in Flatline 3000psi, the 91cu in Flatline 4500 is lighter in comparison. I wish I had pics but I can't seem to download pictures from my digital camera for some reason, I'll keep trying.

Spray Painter

10-01-2002, 11:20 PM

Hey, DarkPhoenix- it would help alot if you got those pics up. i don't care how big the tank is i just don't want a huge tube sticking in my face the whole game. i also don't like holding my gun 2ft in front of me while i'm playing.

I would have to go with the Max-Flow, it is by far the best system out there, it is the most consistent and regs at any pressure. I have a 68cu 45k and I use it on my Dark Angel at around 600psi. I built a cocker from all chosen parts and a raw vert body then had a one of a kind mill and paint job from a personal friend, professional work. Anyhow with what I have I run the tank right into the gun through a gas through grip at 200psi or less with no problem, all I have to do is put the low pressure spring in it. It is extremely consistent + or - 1 psi. When it comes to the size of an 88cu and a 91cu yes there is a difference in length and diameter the 91 being thicker and the 88 longer, but I have played with an 88cu before and had no problem keeping snug with the bunker.

heres my 88ci maxflow(4500) and i absolutley love it!

Spray Painter

10-02-2002, 09:46 PM

FutureMagOwner- do you have any pics of you holding the gun while playing? i'm just wondering because the tank lookslike it's too far out for me, i like tight/small setups and i want the biggest tank i can.

Cliffio

10-02-2002, 09:52 PM

you can always put a drop on it

10-02-2002, 09:59 PM

i knew that;) :p but with a 91ci tank i wouldn't need as big of a drop as with an 88ci. does anyone have pics of a max-flow with a huge drop on it

FutureMagOwner

10-03-2002, 02:14 PM

well i suppose i can get pics of myself holding it with my cocker which is basically the same length. o and i like it that way because now i dont have my wrist bent all backwards and ***** atleast not as much as before :)

JEDI

10-03-2002, 02:20 PM

I could be wrong, but I think my "91ci" flatline is the same exact size as my 88ci pure energy. I dont know why AGD calls it 91ci. I'll have to check the size written on the tank but I think its the same thing

flatacid

10-03-2002, 02:47 PM

im not gonna vote cause i haven't owned either. but ive used a 68/3000 maxflow, and that thing rocks. super consistent. it is alitte bit on the heavy side(not much). i ordered one so hopefully i'll have some pics soon.

isn't the 91 tanks on the flatline aci's tanks?

i noticed that they used an ACI tank too and FutureMag- LOL you have some sweet piant skills;). thanks for posting the pic i think a long 88ci won't be a problem now.

Spray Painter

10-03-2002, 10:30 PM

AGD- is this true. did you put a 88ci tank on a flatline and call it a 91ci;) no really, is it true or is JEDI lying???

Cliffio

10-03-2002, 11:31 PM

yes triad is lying:)

aci does make a 91

go to their website and look

I wasn't lying! I said my 2 tanks (88 pure energy & 91 flatline) look exactly the same. My dye cover fits them both exactly the same. I don't care what it says on the tank. They're exactly the same demensions. Man! people look for opinions, then when they get them they accuse people of lying.

i dont think they do come with it, altho actionvillage is dumb so who knows with them

ill post a pic, altho its gonna be a week or so

i got mine from actionvillage recently and it didnt come with a drop

Spray Painter

stupid actionvillage. thanks for telling me that so that if i get it from there i'll by a drop with it.

i would highly suggest NOT buying from action village, but thats up to you

Cliff

10-07-2002, 06:43 PM

why do you have something against actionvillage? just wondering what i need to know before i accidentaly screw myself over by buying from them.

Cliffio

10-07-2002, 06:46 PM

myself and my friends have ordered from pbg in the past, and they have screwed up each order, they customer service is bad, and some of them just have no idea what they are talking about, but there are those here who will buy no where else, so who knows

Cliff

FutureMagOwner

10-07-2002, 06:51 PM

hmm there customer service isnt that bad i think. i had the wrong sized tank cover(fat tank long cover aparentley) i called em up and shipped it back and they called me but i was there so they explained exactly what happened and fixed the problem and the tank cover slipped on like a dream :)

Cliffio

10-07-2002, 06:53 PM

thats cool, i am just lettin people know that action village is not the best place to shop, thats all im sayin,

Cliff

Spray Painter

10-07-2002, 06:53 PM

i see:eek: i'll be more carefull when i order from them...i mean if i order from them;). the reason i want to order from them is because there prices are cheap and i can get all the stuff i want from one place.

FutureMagOwner

10-07-2002, 07:30 PM

well i know they tend to screw up but they are also one of the largest stores online so they are bound to screw up. i find that if you place the order by phone you are less prone to getting things messed up in the order for some reason

FreshmanBob

10-07-2002, 08:15 PM

geeeeze! after playing with my 45 ci 4500 psi tank for so long those things are giants!!!

I'm waitin for someone to get a 57 ci tank. As far as you go, i say max flow just because it's a little more consistant, that or whatever you can get cheaper, both tanks are great.

hey Cliffo, thank you so much form posting a picture of the 91ci tank. when i get my new tank i'll probably get a 91ci.

its nice, altho you cant get the 91 on a maxflow

I don't like how big the maxflow tanks are. I find it irritating that there's this clunker thing down low... i'd rather have a smooth, streamlined reg like the Flatline..

...but I actually settled for a dynaflow :) (got a great deal :D)
