How are Nitro duck tanks?

[bunkermaster10]

I was wondering if Nitro duck tanks were any good? I was wanting to get this one at wizard paintball.

Can you tell me if it is any good. I wanted the 68 3000psi Steel one from PMI or Crossfire but no online store has it instock. And this is the only one I can find in my price range about 130ish. It says its aluminum, so is it going to be really heavy?

nitro duck tanks are all my local shop sells, i guess they are alright. the new ones have a chick in a bikini on them. i was gonna get one, but they had a bunch of them that the preasure would spike when any gun that was hooked up to fired. so they sent them back to get fixed or replaced. my buddy has one and he likes it, never had a problem.

me personally, i would get an AA system.

[bunkermaster10]

yeah

Well that doesn't sound real good except for the girl part. I want something in the 125 dollar range. But no online store has the pmi or crossfire 68 size stuff instock.

Info

Does anybody have any personal info on these tanks? How much do the steel tanks weigh?

I just got a mega reg and it's freaking awesome! It's right up there with all the other good tanks.

My bro has a preset tuff skin of theirs. Never had a problem and very reliable.

I have two mega regs, never had a problem with either,

oh god, my mega reg gave me nothing but problems, it blew my LPR and many many sets of macro, even after they "fixed" it

[jayel579]

yeah thats what my buddy has, its a rubber/fiber wrapped bottle. i guess thats the tuff skin bottle. its a screw-in regulating bottle, might be a mega reg. im not sure. hes never had a problem with it.

My fixed output Tuff Skin tank has had problem. For some reason like 6 months after i got the tank it started having ALOT of shoot down problems, now i kept that tank in great condition(first n2 tank). Never dropped it, never played w/o a nipple cover and a bottle cover, so how it got dirty idk. Then i sent it in(btw very fast turn around) i got it back and guess what? They didnt put the reg back on all the way. So i sent it back to them and they fixed it, havent had a problem since then but still it was uber annoying.

I have an 88ci 3000 psi mega reg. The tank is sweet. My only complaint is that my gun eats the air up so fast.

[bunkermaster10]

Hey

I was wondering if anybody knew how much the 68ci AL tanks weighed? If their heavy or not.

I've got a MicroReg 45-4500 (preset approx 800) and an X-Stream 68-4500 (adj.)... and I like them both a LOT.

The ONLY problem I have with my x-stream is that the highest it'll go is just around 810 psi... which means that I won't get any better xvalve trigger performance than with my preset. but I can run "low pressure" lol

I called NitroDuck, and they said that if I wanna go higher, I have to get a MegaReg, and then I couldn't use my pretty powdercoated on-off. Poop.

hey bunker,
i have a 68 3000 crossfire nitro tank and i think it has been very consistent over the time i have had it. nitro duck tanks are great, at least the ones i have used, and those were the 68 4500 tuffskin with mega reg, but as you said you're looking for something cheaper. this might not be the right place to post it, but i'd sell you my tank for say 100 or so, its in great condition. if you're interested email me at [email protected]

I have a 68/4500 xtream from FREEFLOW and just ordered another one I like it so much. They were on sale for $199.00. Well worth it from FreeFlow since they back them just like thier markers. If you could save up a little more it'd be worth it. If you can't wait I'd get a Pure Energy fiber wrapped. They work good and you should be able to find one for that price.
