Fibre wrapped air tanks

[OneSelfLost]

Probably an easy one.. Can you buy new tanks without a regulator?

I just realized my tank is expired as far as hydro goes, but with 10 more months left on the tank (until it's 15 year mark), it's not worth re-testing.

I have a great reg on it (newer ninja reg) - Don't need another! lol

What are my options here?

Call ninja. Betting they will work something out with you.

Excuse for the itty bitty ultra light 68 maybe

another option would be to buy a new ninja tank (or a 1-2 year-old used tank) and sell your ninja reg to help offset the cost.

Try Crossfire decent prices on new tanks without regs.

Have the new crossfires got any lighter than the ones from 5 years ago? If not I'd look elsewhere. My wife's crossfire tank is super heavy. The reg is not light. But the tank weighs in a lot worse than I ever would have dreamed.

ANS gear sells cheapo tanks - swap the reg on that.

Thanks for all the input, much appreciated!

sorry btu 2 issues here, we do not sell direct to players and we do not sell bottle only. we do not have to install the reg but the reg has to be sold with the bottle.

as always check with your local dealer as they may have a good option for you or if you use the internet ask for the reg not installed.

Are all tanks basically the same and are sourced to a manufacturer to put their own reg on?

Prior to the new Ninja SL tanks, I'd have guessed a "yes" to that question. But with the new SL tanks, likely not considering the new tech/materials going into the tank.

Hopefully the Ninja rep will come back and answer that. :)

Yeah most paintball tanks I've come across are made by either Luxfer or Carelton, and then sourced out to other companies such as Ninja or Crossfire. With the new SL tanks, I have no idea and can't seem to find that information on the web. Since Ninja is the first to market with the super lightweight tanks, I'm not sure they'll be chomping at the bit to tell their manufacturer specs, either. lol

crossfire makes their own tanks, and ninja uses tanks made by gayston (who also supplies tanks for guerrilla air and pure energy / empire). the sl tanks are also made by gayston.

If the new tank search doesn't work out, try contacting these guys. They'll be able to attach your reg on a used/re-hydro'd tank, and it might save you a few dollars in the process.

ANS Gear has some stock 68/4500 tanks for sub $100. Yank the reg they give you and drop your Ninja on it. Pretty good price.
