    It's not really a necessity for a expensive gun to have such an expensive tank. Though I do have a Max Flow on my Angel, however, many people often don't have the extra money to spend another boat load after they just spent a truck load. However, the adjustable tanks do make it easier to tune and fix your marker.

      If you look around, alot of pro-teams use screw in systems.

        Those teams are also sponsored to do so.


        Most adj. tanks can't run consistently at a low pressure to eliminate the secondary reg.

If they ran it the proper way (as in, straight into the gun, not through another reg) with an adjustable tank, then that would make sense. Either way, its the same thing.
          yes, but some people also want the security of the double reg.. if you single reg it and it blows, bye bye solenoid.

            I used a flatline with my Timmy w/Torpedo reg which was fine, but just worthless. It never did anything for me, and was just added cost. It guess it's prefernce, I never had any problems single regging it.

              I guess the analogy makes sense, seeing Timmy's nowadays with screw-in is very rare, but does anybody think going from my light PMI 48/5000 screw in (850psi output) to an adjustable, maybe even screw in X-Stream is worth it? Is the change of 850psi to say 900 or 950ish (whatever is legal) worth the weight and cost??

                maxflow


                best. tank. ever.


                had it on each of my angels, i get more shots per tank when i single reg the gun, and never had any spike over a chrony

                i like the fact that when i single reg my gun i know EXACTLY how much pressure is going into it, not having to guess is it 850, is it 800.

                plus if it needs to be on a different gun that operates on a lower or higher pressure, just change springs

                to me, it was well worth the money over a screw in

                plus it attaches directly to my gun, no duckbill, no drop, no mess.

                the maxflow is also very easy to take apart and service, simply inscrew the cap *by hand*

                all adjustables come with on/offs

                in my opinion, an adjustable is the only way to go
