    Air set up ?s

    Hello AO, I just got my new Tac One and am starting the process of setting it up, but I do have a few ?'s I will be using macro lines, fittings. I've heard that running the line from tank to gas thru grip to valve can prevent maximum flow. Would I be better off running the macro from the tank directly to the valve or is it not going to matter much either way? I personally like the tank to gas thru grip to valve look, but I want the best performance out of my gun and air system.
    One more ?. I'm looking at different tanks and they all have either 800 or 850 psi presets. Is there going to be much of a difference in reactivity between these two #s. I'm actually not looking for much reactivity at all due to field regulations. I will soon be adding the ULT kit and have been told that it takes the reactivity away or reduces it a lot. I think i'll be able to fire pretty fast with the lightened trigger pull (probably not as fast as reactive trigger but hopefully faster than my stock tippmann triggers). Will one of these presets accomodate the ULT kit better than the other? Also, which tanks on the market have the best flow rate?

    I know I posted a thread a few weeks back that had 1 or 2 ?s that were similar to the reactivity ?, so i'm sorry if i've repeated myself, but I just want to be 100% sure about some of these things before I spend the money on a hpa tank.

    Any advice, info, or answers to any of my ?s is greatly appreciated.
    Thankyou all

    I run my macroline through the grip and I think it works fine. You will really like the ULT, it rocks! Any of the better known HPA tanks will do, when they say 800-850 psi output that is just an average range. Any of the good HP tanks will do. I have a cheap 3A (centerflag reg) on mine. You cannot go wrong with a Crossfire though for the price.

      I run an SS line to the foregrip and another SS Line to my tank and have not experienced any issues. I tried the initial SS line directly to the tank but since I am left handed it got in the way... Plus, as you mentioned, my gun looks so much cleaner now..


      As for tanks... Before I read the forums I purchased a Preset Dye Throttle because it was supposed to be a great tank. Then I read the forum here and everyone mentioned that to get really good reactivity, the gun needed to be run at 900-1000PSI's. So I sold my Dye and purchased a Brand new 68/4500 Fiber wrapped 5 Year Hydro Armageddon for $195... So look around there are alot of good prices on good tanks out there. However, it seems like there are several adjustables that everyone recommends.

      On the other hand, a lot of people use preset screw-ins, and they state that their guns run great. So it seems like it boils down to what you want and how much money your willing to spend.
