    What happened to Nitroduck? I'm looking to buy one of their regs with the drop-in adjustable kit, but I can't find the adjustable pins anywhere.

    And also, can nitroduck regs fit on anytank? How about Smart Parts Micro max-flo? Do they all use the same threading for tanks?

      The Myth also comes in a HP that works great with mags. Crossfire and Pure Energy preform about the same and are both quite good, I've used both VERY extensively. Most of the Pure Energy problem storys are just like the Mag problem storys as in people just made them up or they come from old tanks befor all the bugs got worked out or just stupid people. People forget that they are a high pressure tank and require a LP kit to be low pressure they don't come LP.

      I very highly recommend the Myth, awsome reg but it is short so the back of your ASA has to be atleast flush with the back of your grip.

        I had a crossfire which worked great but it broke when an idiot who was re-testing my bottle lost a piece from the inside. I was forced to buy a pure energy because it was the night before a scenario game and my RT has never shot worse. First 2 shots, great, everything after, terrible. The reg is high pressure because it can drive the RT but the flow cant keep up with successive shots. I am looking for a new tank now and I guess I will be going with another crossfire due to previous experience, the posts on this board, and the fact that centerflag is gone.

          You may not need a whole new tank. If your current tank is good call crossfire and see if you can get just the regulator and re-use your current tank. Might save a few dollars.

            How is it the regs fault because some idiot lost something while re-testing (still not sure how that one would have happened, but whatever.)

            Crossfire are good regs.

            Myths make HP Spring kits.

            Other guerilla regs are good.

            Old Centerflag / Air America are good.

            PE Regs suck, and now you learned this the hardway.

              the new DXS regs preform good.

              cf ftw.

              my crossfire always blew out the burst disk monthly, im not kidding. they are good preformers but a bit heavy.


              Myth's make that humming noise.

                Crossfires have the output bursts on them.

                Most tanks only have a burst if its overfilled.
                CF's have another burst so that if the regulator fails, it wont pump 4500 into your gun.

                Some kid had a myth take a dump on him, and his HPR blew up....

                Another reason i wont rock a myth...

                  I love machines that make a little noise so that you can tell how they are working. When they stop humming, that can be bad. I still play with a crown point barrel sometimes just for the ping.

                    I know, it was the 1st disk the one that blows at 7.5k, this was for a 4500psi

                      With Centerflag AWOL finding a nice high quality high preformance reg with excellent customer service is harder. However I have been satisfied with the crossfire product, and it has an output burst disk as well, much like the centerflag model. I'd have to check my tank at home to tell you when the output burst disc will blow (I think 1k maybe for the lp regs) but I am certian the input is at 7.5K for the 4.5k tanks.

                        wow, talk about thread resurrection! I ended up with the pe and have not had trouble, but i also have a pneumag, so the rt wasnt as important.

                          With a pnu, pressure isn't so much the concern, (so long that it is 800+) it's the recharge. Your feeding two regs. One is Very hungry and will steal air from the other (had this happen with a Dye). Glad to know the PE is a viable option.

                            I do not blame the original crossfire reg for the first failure. I loved that reg and my RT was smokin when using that reg. I just never should have let the local guy work on it. I also should not have bought the PE reg. Looks like its back to the crossfire. Thanks for the advice on trying to just get the regulator, I may give that a shot. Hopefully I can just send them my tank and let them do it. Thanks again for all the advice.

                              I would have made the person who wrecked my tank buy me a new reg, or fix it.

                              If they didnt, atleast take it and send it to crossfire for a rebuild?
