If you want a 45/45 then its a good deal.

If you are using it on a mag I don't think it will work. I heard somewhere that they vent at like 600psi output so they wouldn't work on a mag. But there is a good chance that I'm wrong so correct me if thats the case.

Angel Air's haven't proven themselves to be very reliable air systems. I've seen more of them blow seals than all other types of tanks combined. I mean WDP is a great company, but I'm not a fan of the AIR.

45 45 doesnt matter much, since my indoor field has 5 dollar all day air, and im using it on a timmy. so you say the break seals that bad?

Thats what I hear too, people have problems with them. My flatline works great though =).

I just think the AIR is overpriced and kind of too complicated. And i already have enough batteries to worry about.

I have to agree with everybody else. there is probably a reason he is willing to get rid of cheap :)

even IF you get a good one that is not blowing seals or leaking from one of more than 5 or 6 points that the compressed air comes out ( lp burst, hp burst, inlet air, outlet air, hp sensor, lp sensor), they are not very high flow and not very consistant. they have complettely over engineered it. (go figure, WDP over engineering something :rolleyes: just look at the angel, simple idea with alot of extra useless crap on it)

so you guys think i shouldnt do this? i just figured hey for 50 bux more angel air ok. i thought a 45 ci would be nice. so you strongly suggest i dont do this?

someone was also willing to trade me an adjustable hyper flow

of course it will, but what happens if you NEED IT FILLED and have no batteries? or you dont get it filled cause you think its fine, because you have no batteries, and it runs out in a game!!! :/

amazing the amount of "well I heard" BS in this thread.

I have one on a mag, and plan to run it on my X'ed mini. It works just fine.

ok,
hold your horses let me do a little good/bad.

good
- easy to read shot counter, output/imput
- Its great that it tells you excatly how many shots are left in the tank
- tanks works w/o batts
- pretty consistant


bad
- no on/off, well sorta
- service is not cheap
- cant use the tools in your garage to fix it
- no flash fills
- drop is kind goofy
- the reg is huge

how expensive is "service" and how often does it need "service". how do u turn it off? and what do u mean no "flash" fills.]]



and now, since u own one, is it worth it for me to trade my pmi 68 45 with nipple cap and tank cover for this angel air with dye tank cover?
