Some questions on Nitro...

If there is a page I can read up on this, please link me!

New to the nitro world..

So if I have a Nitro tank, to re-fill it all I need is a scuba tank and a nitro fill station?!? I see scuba tanks for around $100 or so and fill stations for like $80.. $200 and I can re-fill Nitro?!? Damn! There has to be something I'm missing..

The tanks, "pre-set", does that mean I just can't adjust the pressure, it is fixed? I am getting an eMag, what is a good cheap nitro setup?

Thank you for any help

well first good preset tanks for around $200 are pmi pure enery and crossfire tanks, thats for 4500psi, 3000psi is cheaper.

and you only need a scuba tank adn fill station if YOU want to refill your own tanks. you would still have to get the scuba tank filled when it runs out.

if your by a pb field i would just get it filled there.

and yes preset cannot be ajusted
i know pmi presets are 800psi
most are around 750psi to 850psi
which is good for a mag

Thank you Fire for the info

Damn... that just seems so cheap. Any places sell the tank and the fill station together?

How much do scuba shops charge to fill a tank?

I plan on shooting a lot since I'm gettin at eMag

Just remember- you won't get LOTS of fills out of it. You may get a few 3000 fills (2800 more likely) but the more you fill out of the scuba tank, the less fill you get. So at the end of a day of play, you may only get 1500 or so PSI. Which really won't run the gun very long.

Ah, thats what I figured. Just a supply for myself will be good. I just want enough that if I am playing a game I can keep myself supplied for the day and expect to have my tank re-filled before I play the next weekend.

Any recomendation on a good nitro system around $200? Something I can have a cradle with a quick disconnect.

Whats the Honda Civic of nitro tanks? lol

Thanks again for the info.

pmi and crossfire i perfer pmi i had less problems with mine and it seems to have a higher output

[fire1811]

i like pmi pure energy's also
68/4500 are $200 and have a five year hydro date

crossfires are good too

[FalconGuy016]

Crossfires are known for more consistant regs though

I'd mosey on over to air america too, I think they have raptor 68/4500s for around 200 bucks. They're completely adjustable, no output guage but you can put a "T" fitting and a guage in the airlines to your gun. Many common clamping cradles will fit them, and some "raptor" cradles are made specifically for them. Especially for a RT/Emag I'd suggest that over a screw in for the same price.

You won't find any stores that sell fill stations and tanks together. Probably less than 1% of ballers have their own scuba tank.

You'll most likely pay between $3 and $8 to fill your scuba, i pay 5.

Enjoy the emag!
