ReTro Valve and Preset tank?

[paintbattler]

Has anyone ever done this? I was wondering if I could run a Retro on a preset tank. I dont really want to buy an Flatline so what will be bad if I do use a preset tank? I don't know what it is preset to, but I am thinking of arounf 800-850psi. Pro's Con's? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

cons:

you won't be able to customize the "reactiveness" to exactly what you like.

pros:

they are cheep

from the one's i've tryed, i like how they feel with a preset.

I've been using a preset PMI Pure Energy tank on mine (I know they suck but I can't afford a better one yet) and it is set at I think like 850psi and it works fine on my ReTro I just played w/ it today and was able to lay down enough paint to get a nice amout of tags.... well if you want anymore help e-mail me at [email protected]

Hope this helps

I ran a retro useing a crossfire preset a while back. It works great. I bought a flatline to see if I liked any other input pressures, but decided I was happy with the 850psi of the crossfire, so thats what I used.

tight so it might work after all

What sucks about the PMI preset tank? I dont have one, but I thought they were decent preset tanks.

Nothing is really that bad about them but I get shootdown sometimes w/ it. But there great tanks for the price I guess. and I prefer adjustable tanks

[Jonno06]

with the ReTro valve i really doubt you will experience shoot-down,no matter what tank you use....

PMI 68/3k preset= $120
Crossfire 68/3k preset= $130, and it's supposed to have a the fastest recharge rate available. Why don't you just get a Crossfire tank?

a PMI 68/3k is what i use and other here.. it seems to work fine. the 850 psi is fine for me

I started out with a preset, but then I got my Max-Flow, the only reason I bought it was weight. The steel was so heavy and I got the Max-Flow on auction for the price of a pre-set. I like to run my pressure at about 925psi, but if I could not, it would not it would not be a very big deal. I found the 850psi of a pre-set to be nice and reactive.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

My only problem with my preset is the fact that it is a 48/3000. Which is my bad. Other then that though it works great. It sets the reaction really good for me.

[paintbattler]

yea..i have come to a problem. should i trade my 68ci 4.5psi PMI PE tank for a 45ci 4.5psi tank PMI PE $50 bux? if i do that, ill have money for a retro.im confused. any help i would really need so thanks in advanced

[FutureMagOwner]

do what i did i got 2 47ci 3000 psi 850psi output crossfire tanks costs almost the same as the 68ci but then you have 2 tanks!(one for you and one fora friend) and its more gas
