At what PSI? You will only get a few at near 3000 psi. If you can cascade two tanks it GREATLY increases the number.

k if I have two tanks then how many would you guestimate?

At least 10. Three of us used two tanks and had 2500+ fills all day. We shot a combined total of approx 5000 rounds. Two level 10 'mags and one angel.

Using a single scuba cylinder you will get 2 good 3k fills, after that the PSI will gradually fall as the volume in the scuba cylinder goes lower.

2 - 3 3k fills
6 - 10 2.5k - 2.9k fills
10 - 15 2k - 2.5k fills

30+ fills over 2k PSI aint too shabby for $4 to fill the tank. Get yourself a second scuba cylinder and you're in great shape for 2.5k fills.

I run a single cylinder most weekends playing, I'm happy with a 2k fill for most rec games where I usually don't fire more then 300-400 rounds a game. For tournies where you need to lay down paint, you won't get by with a single cylinder, you will want to either use field air if they fill to 4.5k or have the team get a booster (big bucks!) and a couple scuba cylinders.

Have you considered a 300bar/4500psi scuba tank? - you'd get more fills from that.

the issue there is price. 80 CF 3K scuba $150 100CF 4.5k scuba $350

The > 3k psi scuba tanks have different air fittings than the standard 3k scuba. The normal scuba air fitting to fill 3k paintball tanks for about $60us will only work on the 3k tanks.

are you sure about that? cause I have a 5000PSI valve on my scuba tank, but the tank itself is only 3000PSI. the 4500psi scubas also have 5000PSI valves.

does anyone know anything about those compresed air machine things? do those work with nitro tanks.. or "compressed air" tanks..? duh
