Ok, i am wondering if it is possible to swap two bottles on two different regs. I will be getting a 68/3000 Flatline and i already have a 68/3000 crossfire. Is it possible to swap the bottles on both of these, or is there some difference between them? I am pretty sure that it can be done, but i just want to have a precise answer.

im no expert, but i believe you can. just try it, and then when its being filled for the first time duck and cover

Yes it is possible...but why? Does the crossfire have a new hydro date or something?

theres no real point unless u want a newer hydro date... have ur proshop or weldin shop do it just to be safe...

I have a Air America Apocalips with a 47ci/4500, I love the reg but want a bigger bottle. What is the best way to spin the bottle off a reg?

at a certified pro shop. i really suggest people not try this stuff at home unless you are an airsmith cause your dealling with over 3000PSI of air and small mistakes get emphazised greatly.... but if you must know, a bench vise LOTS of padding to protect the tank body and a wrench and a pipe for leverage... get a second opinion with details cause what i described is a rough comprehension on my part.
