    the tank does make a difference. they have some new tanks like the nitroduck tuffskin tanks and the dye throttle tanks that are wrapped in a special carbon fiber that allows for use of a lighter thinner inner steel tank and this also gives you a few more ci.

    If you want a really light tank get a carbon wrapped tank rated at 3000psi they are really light now compared to a 4500 tank. someone mentioned the aci bulldog, those are light tanks. Weight should not be an issue, its a matter of ounces between the heaviest and lightest, you want the best performing reg I learned this the hard way.

I'm talkin about fiber wrapped tanks here, the lightest you'd have for that price range. If you want a 68 ci, luxfer and carletons both weight 2.2 lbs, while the SCI has a 70 ci tank that weights 2.42 lbs. You can buy a tank without a reg, then buy the best reg for the best tank. Just make sure you know what you are doing. I've witnessed nothing but problems from a worrgass system, and crossfire's seem to be crap. I had a steel pure energy tank, and it never let me down, but only weighed me down.

      I have two crossfires with 0 problems. I know many others that swear by crossfire. I don't know what was in the pipe you were smoking, but Crossfire are pretty highly regarded. Their regs are high flowing and they use good quality tanks.

        You can get a Crossfire 88/4500 for under 200 bucks on www.paintballgear.com . It's very light and from my experience is pretty reliable. It's abit harder to screw into and out of my drop, but maybe that's just my imagination. I also like the 2 burst disc things.

        My Crossfire tank hasn't let me down yet.

          I too have a pair of crossfires that work flawlessly.

          Nitroducks arent bad tanks either, and have worked very well on everything I've used them on.

                I dont know what you're smoking. My friends crossfire has mad shoot down at high rates of fire. Mine does too, but not as bad. My Fiber wrapped Crossfire also weighs more than my 68 ci STEEL tank. Nobody knows why. I've also only heard of one other crossfire, and he gets shootdown with it. Maybe its a bad match for the emag.

                  The crossfire tank that can't keep up is being used on a 4.0 Emag. We know it's the tank because we slapped the pure energy preset and it works, as well as a flatline on it.
