I dont quite know but i prefer my dye throttle cause it comes with a tank "cover" and thay are ALL black which i think is shweet...i had a crossfire on my old rt pro and it was fine...both seem to be about the same i just lean towards dye (not because of their domination of paintball) i just think it has a sleek design and it was on salle from $300 like you said :)

thats a cover?

Buy two tanks... frankly they are likely much more failure prone then your marker (at least failures that you won't quickly fix). At least it has proven true in my experience.

ya i may keep this 3a one for jest fun but i will need $$ for the dye if i get it. and ya i do to lean more for the dye's. and thats realy cool taht the black thing is a cover cuse now i dont have to muy a stubby one. i am planing on getting a stubby.

I have a Dye Throttle tank, It has worked flawlessly for me for a year now. If I got another screw in, I'd get a Crossfire though. I say that because they are bullet proof and cheaper.

SprayingMango thanks for the help

Oh yh.. seems how you were asking for recomendations, I have a pair of crossfires.. wonderful tanks.. as for longevity wouldn't know I don't keep a tank more than a year (personal obsessive and wrong safety issue)

Mine has never given me any problems. It's my only tank at the moment and has never let me down.

[dj89]

what kind? dye cross etc?

Mine is a Dye Throttle Screw in 71 4500.

personally, i would reccomend a crossfire. Crossfire has the fastes recharge of any tank out there.. PGI did a test, and it showed that the crossfire recovered much faster on a single shot, and a shot to shot baisis... Plus, i like crossfire as a tank mfg. They make quality tanks, and they have ben for quite some time. Just a personal preferance. Plus it is cheaper for what you get, ya know?

Do you really need a reg made o titanium? or what ever their marketing plan was? im just saying, i trust crossfire more, even though dye does make kick *** products.

i had a crossy and they are graet tanks i think thats what i'm geting this time to

My dye throttle (70/4500) works just fine and has never let me down, but I'm going to go with the general opinion of getting a crossfire. You'll save quite a bit off as opposed to the Dye tank, and the only difference is the name, and a little less of the prettiness

wait... so are the Dye tanks fiber wrapped? In the pics it doesn't look like it. Is the fiber just covered up in something like Tuff Skin?
