    Ninja HPA tanks and regs

    Just came across the Ninja HPA tanks. Anyone know anything about them? They are less expensive and I was wondering if there are any problems, who makes them, etc.

    Thanks

    ninja regs are essentially DXS regs, before DXS regs got out sourced over seas. great consistancy, tolerances, reliability. and still uses a Standard Brass Bonnet, with the option for an additional Aluminum if you desire. so longer lasting threads.

    Ninja was the company that made the Crossfire, Pure Energy, DXS and a slew of other companies regs. untill those companies sent there business over seas.

    ever wonder why Crossfire, Pure Energy, and DXS regs kind of lost there reliability over the last 2 years?

    Ninja, is also American made. with great customer service, you cant go wrong with a Ninja reg

    and no, i am in no way affiliated with Ninja paintball.

        can you shim these things for a higher output pressure for RT valves, or can you order them from the factory already shimmed?

          Ninja has some awesome customer support, and as already stated, they are the guys that made several of the regs for used to be good companies. I wasn't aware that Crossfire had went overseas for their regs as well though, I thought they were produced right here in Michigan.


          The Ninja regs are easy to adjust pressure on by using the shims provided, A rebuild kit is very reasonably priced, and they have several other nice accessories. Overall, not any breakthrough technology or anything, but they do work well, and they are American made.

          My only gripe is the gimmicky - everything is all black - the stuff rubbed off within hours of owning the tank, and black Teflon tape makes it hard to tell if its Teflon or sludge that has made its way into your tanks or fill nipples.

          Length of the reg is almost twice the length of a myth reg meaning you wont have to move On/Offs and CA's back to get them to screw onto your setups

            Longer lasting threads with the aluminum or brass?

              Ninja guys are standup and cool people. Once i free up some $$ i plan on buying a tank from them. they came to waynes world grand finale back in december.

              You can safely shim up to 950 i think, with a properly tuned xvalve that should get you to RT if any1 cares

                brass by far, the aluminum were for the guys that think the brass makes their entire gun too heavy to carry

                          they come with shims for all pressure adjustments. just take the bonnet off, slip in the shims and rock.

                            MAKE SURE YOUR TANK IS EMPTY FIRST!

                            If your tank is outputting 850 psi, it has 3 shims in it.

                              There's no contact e-mail address on their website. What's the adjustment range on these regulators?
