Smart Parts 68CI CO2 tank....

[Arman/XPM]

Hello all,
I am curious, do CO2 tanks need to be hydroed?
Would you guys rather put a Nitro system on a Shocker, or Impulse - Or would you go with a Smart Parts 68CI on/off Anti - Siphon CO2 tank?

It is getting fairly cold where I live(Texas )
Its going to be about 45 degrees and less here.
A few people told me, if I were to get the CO2, then I could wrap it in some cloth, or a sweater, and it would keep it warm enough, to where its usable, Is this true?

P.S. I am getting the Tank for $80 shipped, and it is fiber wrapped.

yes they do needto be hydroed. alum CO2 tanks is every 5 years. I'm not sure about fibber wraped CO2 tanks... but traditionally fibber wrapped air tanks are hydroed every 3 years. I assume it should be the same.

Hello,
Thank you very much for responding.

Which one would you go with, if you were going to use it on a Smart Parts Impulse?

i'd go with the co2. shockers are gas hogs and you won't get very many shots out of a 68/(3000 i assume).

Those smart parts tanks rule! I have one and i get soo many shots out of it when i play with it. It looks like a nitro tank as well. You cant tell which is which. When i get it filled they say you cant put C02 in your nitro tank i say it is a c02 tank =P. O well its worth the money to buy this specially for an impulse

What field do you play at arman/xpm?

acutally, Impulses are very efficant, theyare like super remade Shockers x20. Though you still get more shots wit ha 68ci CO2, 68/3k air will serve you a fair amount of shots.
