Hy guys, I need a smaller tank, my arms are starting to hurt from my 114. For now I will get a screw in to replace my screw in. What is the best one.

Also, what is the best adjustable one. I m getting many conflicting reports. I was at a PB store this week and the salesman was bashing Air America tanks. Kept telling me about breaking down and such. He loved the Max flos and said they flowed the most. Does this all seem true? For now I will get a screw in and do some more research. Thanks.

Centerflag, PMI, Crossfire, System X are all good screw-ins.
For adjustable, AA's are great. yoi can get a 68/45 Raptor Rex straight from them for $189. FlatLines are great too(of course), but they are a bit pricey.

go to www.airsoldier.com They sell 45/45 bottles only for $100...so you could buy your bottle for a mere $100 and have the preexisting screw in reg installed by an airsmith.

Not really...get a 70 CI tuff skin or something, its just like any fiber wrapped tank to me. I will weigh my BD and my ND tomorrow.

They sell raw tanks for $125, plus shipping I would assume. I do not have a good regulator, so buying the bare tank would not be such a good idea, especially when i can get a 45/45 bulldog screw in for like $140 or so. I still keep getting conflicting reports. Some people here say that the crossfire regs are good, and others are telling me to stay away from them. Are all screw ins truly the same. I was gonna get a AA The REG but the screw in won't fit my drop.

THe web sight says $125. I meant a used 45/45, I don't care too much for new right now, rather spend the money on an adjustable.

Drop them an email, it said 100 last time...some special deal, if they say 125, dael must just be over. Sorry man.

I own a Crossfire and it hasn't let me down once. Very good flow rate and very consistent.

I have a crossfire 72ci/4500 and it is a great tank. Not too big, but holds plenty of air. The only problem I have run into is that no one makes a cover for it yet. At least I haven't been able to find one. As far as the regulator check out:

Sorry, it's not my fault they didn't us a mag for the demo.

I can vouch for the NitroDucks. I own two, one adjustable (new X-stream) and one non-adjustable which has worked great for 4 years now. My teamies have used crossfire with nothing but probs. The nitroducks have great flow and are very well built. The toughskin is great too, check 'em out!

I like Pure Energy or Nitro Duck. I don't like the ACI Bulldog tanks. They can't recharge my Impulse fast enough...but it may just be that particular tank. It works great on my Shocker :confused: ...

I can vouche for Crossfires. They are incredible tanks. No recharge problems or at least none noticible at 15bps. Great tank.
