    2 Questions

    1. Are the loaders today to strong for ULE bodied mags(cause double feeds)? Cause I was thinking of getting a Vlocity jr. But im not sure...

    2. Who makes a 45ci/4500 adjustable HPA tank? I cant find one any where. I ask because dont x-vales(on an RT ULE Custom) like a little more than the standard 800-850psi?

    Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    You should get a Torque. I use one on all my mags, well, except the pump.

      1- i know several people that use vlo's on mags and no double feeding issues

      2- your best luck would be to buy a 68 or 88 adjustable and a 45/4500 tank and swapping regs. or buying a adjustable reg and 45 bottle separately.

        Where can you get regs and tanks separately?

            Most places won't sell them separately. In fact, if ASTM was written to be as safe as it ought to be, there would be a rule against it. However, I don't think ASTM could make such a rule, let alone enforce it.

            You're likely to find adjustable regs available here and there, usually attached to a vessel already. You might end up having to buy two tanks just to get the swap right. Good news about that is, if you play it right you can sell the tank that you don't want with the extra reg.

              Sometimes you'll find plain tanks on bst's and ebay. A clean one is nice in that you can inspect the inside and threads yourself and you don't have to worry that the threads will be bunged up from having been set with red loctite. If you have a shop put your reg in, talk to them about how they are are going to torque it and which if any sealant they use. You may not have any choices to make, but it's good to know.

                Thats good. Maybe its that the stock detent isnt very good. How long does your battery last? Heard the VL's have bad battery life

                  1- I own a Ego2 and a v-jr. Have no problems with either. 2- Nitro duck makes a screw in adjustable in various sizes. X-stream is the name. You have too watch out because they claim 200-900 psi output, but some don't get get to 900 psi without taking out a shim they install.
