    Whats the Best Reg for Mags

    So I've had mags the entire time I've played paintball and Im about to make the step up from Co2. Co2 has just been easy since ive have like 20 tanks and a fill station plus all my buddies use co2 and ive had it since before nitro was popular. I have an Xvalve and a few retro valves but havent been able to get the best reponse from the generic hpa tanks I have. The regs on the tanks are about mid pressure and the best results have come from the flatline i have but the tank is too small and heavy.

    I want to buy about 3 68/4500 fiber tanks w/out regs and Im wondering whats the best adjustable regs for the biggest bang for the buck. Im looking for a screw-in reg (non-mounted) and the ones Ive been looking over are the nitroduck i-reg with the different pistons for output pressure but I also really like the ninja reg where its just shims to change not springs or pistons.

    What works best for you?

    Do I really even want adjustable or should I just stick with a set output of like 850-1000psi

    My Exp

    I have the nitro duck and it works fine as long as I use the 1000 PSI Piston.

    I have the Ninja as well and I got them shimmed by ninja to give me 900+ and that workd well.

    My exp has been that my mags seem to like 900+ to work well

        Armageddons are L33T as well.

            you could overshim a ult, or if you have an emag on/off assembly that could work too.

              While these aren't screw in tanks per se. They are 2 piece regs. This means that you can mount the front half of the reg to the gun, and if you have multiple reg backs, you can unscrew your tank and swap out sizes.

                Ditto. I have two red crossfires that I love. My RT doesn't seem to be anymore reactive with my maxflo set at 950 then it is with my 850 crossfires, and screw in regs are so much more convenient.

                  How much are dynaflows worth? There is one at the field & has been there a LONG time.

                        Red Crossfire gets my vote. That's all I have used for as long as I knew any better.

                          My Crossfire 850psi output got good results on my automag, and when that went bad (lp disc blew, never sent it in for servicing) I got a Ninja and left it at 850.

                          Seems as good if not better. If you are planning to run over 850 then I'd recommend it.

                            after looking and looking and comparing prices i think im down to just buyin a couple ninja air systems and footing a couple extra bucks for quality equipment. couple of things i really like about them: made in america, all black, screw-in adjustable, easy self service and over a good price. i was thinkin about just buyin some random tanks and a couple of regs to attache but i think ill be happier with the complete deal. i did find some good prices on just generic tanks 68/45 on ebay for like 75 a peice but after shipping for the regs and tanks and everything i think ill like the ninja setups, plus theyre not that much more expensive. theyve been making tanks and regs for years just for other people so they make quality products.

                            thanks for the help


                            Now the question is 68 or 90 cu in
                            maybe one of each
