Is an agd flatline worth the bucks???

[jayloo]

Look I have a 68/4500 flatline that I use with my emag and I love both. Here is the thing though.

I have ordered a xmag and should get it in a couple of months. Would it be worth it to purchase another flatline or should I just get a 68/4500 preset screwin tank? A preset tank is half the price.

Is an agd flatline worth it?

If u have a opinion please explain exactly why.

I personally enjoy a uni mount/screw in combo much more than max flows/flatlines. Most prefereance I suppose.

I would say no. I've owned a flatline for about a year. I got a killer deal on it, but I have to say it hasn't lived up to is reputation.

The recharge rate isn't terribly fast, which makes my X-valve less reactive. I've had better consistancy and reactivity using both a PMI pure energy preset and a Nitroduck preset. Plus it leaked on me for a while, I checked all the o-rings and oiled it, and it still leaked. I eventually had to send it in to AGD.

So, no, I don't think its worth it. But if you love it, its probably not worth buying another tank period. Buy a datapimp drop and switch it back and forth.

you will need a Flat Line or a maxflow

no ordinary Tank can keep up with the BPS when you start hiting over 15bps you start to get Shoot down.

with a Flatline or Maxflow you should have no problems

[Branchvillian]

Lol, you sure about that one?

[rudy]

you can buy my used one for a bit less =]

Used... maybe. New... no. There are plenty of comparable tanks at half the cost of a new flatline. I would strongly recommend centerflag as another choice. More affordable, performs just as well in my opinion.

And there is nothing wrong with a screwin tank.

[Nick O time]

well

another option would be to get a data drop or rail and then just switch the tank when you need too. i dunno just an option. but i would get another flatty if i had the money.

i could sweet spot my old rt at maybe 17-18? and get no shoot down with a crossfire tank. (no clips or anything, im just saying)

The flatline is one of the lightest adjustables out there, and by the time you add an ASA to every screw-in I have weighed they come in fatter. Recharge is more than enough for anything short of sweetspotting.

I do agree, though, that it is not the highest flow tank out there. With my 'Geddon set at the same pressure as my flatline, it will sweetspot like crazy. Kinda bugged me until I figured that I don't sweetspot in a game, and the weight penalty was not worth it.

Your mileage may vary.

Haha Nick, he's got you on a technicality. He clearly said "preste" tank. That could be something different we know nothing about.



my $.02 - A) Why get another Flatty? One tank for two guns doesn't work?
B) Yes Flatlines are worth it. Best all round adjustable tank. Had mine for 3 seasons now. No problems.

look all I was saying is that I would recomend a flatline or a maxflow...

I use a Pure Energy 68^3 and I do get shoot down...It happens..I need a better tank.

[PsychoBaller]

Gentleman... and some ladies... Ya'll sidetracked from the original comments greatly...

Dude, Jayloo.....

I have a 68/4500 Flatline... but for the money, if u need money for other investments, than I say switch it out. I have the Flatline running on my SFL Emag presently, but would like to reduce something in my setup to put money towards other things.

I'm thinking of getting a preset, 68/4500 Crossfire or something. Does the same thing, preset; dont have to mess with it but orings, and its cheaper.

This is my personal opinion, i could be wrong.

Everyone, thanks for the info. If you look at my mag in my sig I have an AO DP drop.

I want to have 2 complete setups...as a complete backup and so I can let others play with it as well.

I just want to know is a flatline/maxflow worth the extra $200 or so.
