Whats a good air tank these days

[blackdeath1k]

I have a Ninja SL 68/4500, and will agree here with the masses.

The only issue I had with it is it doesn't seem to like my POPS asa's. To get it to engage, I had to have shims removed which bring its output down to around 450.

The HP tanks with a ball valve work with pops. But due to the volume of air that goes thru the larger opening. And the fact a pops is basically a push in activation. It gets pretty difficult. People do it though. Me. The only pops I have is on my Geo. The tank I use on it is 450psi so no problems at all.

I like the pops but since I run mags at 800+, I don't use 'em. I like my custom products asa's but if course you lose that streamlined look. so far my favorite is the bob long cam drive. have had zero issues with any tanks and effortless to engage.

I use an empire ultra f5 and like it a lot. Nice, regular, boring old pin valve with an easily serviceable regulator. Outputs at 800psi or so.

I also have a ninja 68/45 with a pin valve that works fine, but it's way heavier than my ultra f5. It also had the gel coat cracking issue but Ninja fixed it for me for free.

Coming from a nitroduck and pure energy, I'd recommend either.

Clarification, the Ninja 68/45 you have must not be a SL tank? Because reviews show that the SL tank is actually a half-ounce lighter than the UF5 (probably due to the respective weights of the regulators, and not the bottles themselves).

Correct, my Ninja is not an SL. It's a regular old ninja tank.

Crossfire. They are so good, the DOT had to ban them

i don't have issues with my pops (ninja 77sl @ 800psi), but, it's on a geo 3.5 which has internal air routing. i have the entire face of the asa to squeeze down on. i can totally see the pops with the front macroline fitting being a real pain. it's for that reason that i prefer the oops 2 instead (also, it's cheaper!).

Pretty sure you can still get the standard output pin valve regs on a tank from them, the rep has posted in this thread.

i don't think you can anymore, which sucks.

And some of the ninja tanks, aswell as other companies.

Crossfire made the effected tanks. Others had rebranded them. BUT Ninja was the company that did the work to make them legal again.
