    Second HPA or Scuba fill?

    Looking for the opinion of the AO crowd. I pretty much shoot rogue ball and there is no fill station. I usually don't shoot that much but I have run out of air on a few occasions . I am wondering if I should go with a second screw-in or should I get a scuba tank for fill. Let me also add that there is no guarantee on 4.5K fill at the shop I go to.

    i'd say scuba, especially if others besides you shoot compressed, cus you could sell fills and make some $

      I agree, go with a scuba. Then you can take it wherever you want, save some money if you ever go to a place without all day air.

        it costs about 4 bucks to get a huge scuba filled...

        Def much more cost effective...

              I went scuba! 1 of the dive shops near me have a deal if you buy the scuba from them they free air for life of the tank
              best thing ever!

                Check your local Scuba shops first.Make sure they'll fill your tank for paintball use with you being an un-certified non-diver.Some will if they trust it's for paintball,some won't.

                My local shop fills @ $1 per 1k psi and also sells used but current tanks for ~$100.

                Scuba is really the best way to go overall and likely to be cheaper to get set up than a second HPA tank.

                  P.S. my scuba shop didnt ask since they do have a deal with a local paintball shop to fill there big tank for free if they refer people
                  cost me 250 for a new tank 50 for fill station
                  free fills for life works great
                  me 2 friends got it togethor 100 a piece!

                    Thanks for the replys! I am a certified diver so the fills are not an issue. I'll take your advise and go that route.
