    Adjustable HP air tank ?

    Any HP tank out there (~1000 psi out) that is just a screw in style? Something not big and bulky that is fairly lightweight?

      It's not easily adjustable and only has presets via changing the pistons out but the iReg from NitroDuck is a favorite of mine. You can get pistons in the following flavors 400, 600, 800 and 1000 PSI.

      There is a guy on ebay that is selling them. I believe he used to be connected to Nitro Duck and is selling off the excess inventory. The iReg's he is selling do not come with the extra pistons, you will find those in another one of his auctions.

          I agree. Nitroduck's Ireg seems like what you are looking for.

          I have the Ireg and the pistons. I can use it for my low pressure (400 psi) ION and switch to high pressure (1000 psi) Automag/TacOne. Just change the pistons and you are ready to go.

          Another reg you might want to check is the Smart Parts inline Maxflo. Easy adjustable on the fly. It is a bit heavy though and not the screw in type.

            couldn't find the iReg or pistons, can you post a link to one of his auctions?

              Search for 'nitroduck' or 'i-reg'. You should see his listings.

                    There is also a thread over on MCB that talks about adding shims to the top of the pistons to increase or "dial in" the desired pressure. Please use knowledge with caution and common sense.

                      I have a NitroDuck X-stream screw in adjustable reg. I've only had it for a few weeks. It seems to work pretty good. It's easily adjustable on the fly, you don't need the special tool made for it, just a large set of pliers or channel locks. However it only gets up to around 850-900 psi. Because of this I will probably be selling it and getting a Max Flo Adjustable so I can get my RT over 1000 psi. I would assume you're looking for over 1000 psi too, but let me know if you'd be interested in the X-stream.

                        ok I found the i-regs and piston kits on ebay. Now I have 2 nitroduck tanks that have regs that look exactly the same as those i-regs. Did Nitroduck make other regs that look the same as the i-reg? or do I have 2 i-regs? I'm just trying to figure out if I need to buy the reg and piston kit, or just the kit

                          Just a total FYI but the IReg is a pretty awesome reg, one of the better presets I have put on my equipment.

                            I ordered 2 of those i-reg piston kits off ebay and they came today.. I did have 2 i-reg nitroduck tanks. I had to drain all the air out of the tank before I installed it. I will post tomorrow after work when I get the tank filled. I just want to let anyone who is thinking about getting the i-reg or the piston kit, if you already have the i-reg on your tank like I did, the pistons are VERY easy to change. you dont even have to unscrew the reg completely off the tank. There is a front cap that you remove to change the piston. Very easy upgrade. I am gonna shoot the 1000psi piston in a 68/4500 NitroDuck tank on a mag with X-Valve, lvl10, and ULT. I'll have more info tomorrow.

                              well I just fired the mag with the 1000 psi i-reg. When rapid firing I definitely got alot of RTing here and there, but with the ULT, your still not gonna find a sweetspot.. just seems to be an added bonus when firing fast. Also with 1000 psi, the trigger response just seems so much crisper than having 800psi in the mag. I would definitely recommend putting a 1000 psi reg on your tank
