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.

ah, those are used tanks though. not a terrible price; add a rubber fill-nipple cover to bump the price over $100 and get free shipping. you could do a little better though if you're patient and dig a little.

No they're not. The product line is called "Owned" - not pre-owned tanks.

ah, ok. at any rate, they are old tanks with a hydro date of 5/12. so $100 for a new, but old tank, is fair i think. good option.

I bought one of these in either December or January and I just weighed it with thread protector, rubber fill nipple cover and minimal rubber butt gripper and its 2 lbs 9.8 ounces empty.

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.

As Mentioned in another post the tanks are made by Gayston and this is not a secret, google the dot sp # on any tank and it will tell you the manufacturer.

The problem with getting a cheaper tank is getting the reg off, if they used to much lock tire it may not come off.

Right.............and or damage the threads.

What is the standard you guys go by for using loctite, red, blue or..? Also what is the standard for the torque on the reg?

Thanks

locktite does not hold a tank to a reg but torque does. we torque the regs on so they have a 20 ft lb removal torque to get them out and the locktite is just there to slow the removal of a reg. we use a very small amount of red and when i say small it is a drop.

I'm really glad I talked to Ray @ Ninja at Living Legends. It's nice to have somebody straight from the industry answering questions here!
