battle of the high end tanks

[brett]

wich one one has best flow at low and at high psi wich one is better constructed and what one would you get if you had a choice

[Cliffio]

angel air

[FooTemps]

I'd rather get a flatline 4500... LONG LIVE AGD!!! w00t(lol)! I randomly voted and got the conquest

[Russ]

No one, I mean NO ONE, can say which has the highest flow, because that data has never been published. Many claim it, none prove it, period.

AA systems have a lifetime warranty.

Conquests are not Mag-friendly. Too low a max output pressure. High maintenance. Need to be double-regulated. Works great on my kid's 'Cocker.

MaxFlo's are nice. Pretty colors. I don't know about SmartParts customer service, though.

AGD Flatlines, Lightweight, smooth on/off, best customer service. Keeps up w/my E-mag at a high ROF. A solid performer.

Angel Air, very high tech, consistent output pressures, no on/off

Centerflag? I don't know much about 'em.

Nitro Duck? ditto

I will get a Flatline 4500 system when they become available.

Some of those tanks are great for LOW pressure. I have two Centerflags, one 3000, one 4500, both adjustable. They work GREAT on low pressure applications like fiancee's Bushmaster, but don't seem to be as air efficient with my Emag.

If I could choose any tank/reg agin, I would also pay attention to weight. I hear that Flatlines are nice and light in addition to great performers. Don't drule them out.

I like my Nitroduck Megareg 4500. Nitroduck has never let me down on a mag, cocker, or angel.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

right now i've got a Crossfire 68/3000 stub..but i'm holding out for a 68/45 Flatline..if it makes it out to be put under the tree..cool..if not..oh well..i still can't wait no matter what...

[udtseal]

PMI Pure energy 68/4500 is a nice tank!!! I love mine!!!!!!

[pito189]

I like my Nitroduck megareg 90/4500 never let me down once. You can play a whole day with it too.

a.i.r works great for shockers to mags...

WDP went with no ON/OFF because it puts the regulator under less stress when there is air in the tank, and you have it turned off.
An ON/OFF has a lower flow rate than a tank without an ON/OFF, this reason isn't much of a difference but it has been shown to be true.

OK, mac2k4, show me that data! I'm not trying to be a prick, but I often hear claims such as this, bit there is never any proof!

Myths, rumors and HYPE!

[mac2k4]

i'm not sayin theres that much of a difference, but if ya think about it, theres a lota pressure, and w/ a valve bing in the on position and and air is running through there, then the valve used as an on/off can (slightly) restrict air flow....

[Russ]

Whoa there, first you say that "it has been shown to be true"

Well, show me!
And I AM thinking about it. I'm just tired of heresay being passed off as truth. Please educate me on the various flow rates between tanks with and without on/offs.

Sorry if it seems that I'm coming off a bit harsh, but we, as players who care about our sport, need to do what we can to be honest about product claims. Heck, who knows, maybe the manufacturers will follow suit

Saying that an air system has more flow because it does NOT have an on/off is false info, and shouldn't be repeated Myths, that's how myth's get started.

[Manuel_FZR]

... definitely the Flatline 4.5k
because Qualitiy always shoots straight

They have good customer service, except when you order something from them directly, they say they will call you back with the price, but that never happens, it just arrives. Very stable reg, even though it is a little on the heavy side, it has been my favorite tank since I started paintballing.
