Yeah, I'm expecting the two tanks mid next week. I'll post a thread here, and on PHOG/Stockclass paintball.

Just got em today in the mail. Two 3.5oz Catalina bottles with pin valves. One is black, and the other is silver/unpolished aluminum. Sweet.

That's where I found em, for $24.95 each. I got a fairly quick response from the retailer via email ([email protected]), so try there. He said they have both 4oz and 3.5oz in stock, so before you order you may want to email them so you can choose which ones you want.

888paintball has 3.5 oz cylinders in stock as well.

That should be a working link.

The 7oz and 12oz fall under the same category. They never expire and don't need to be hydro tested. This is from a hydro test place. They should be visually inspected once in a while though, to check for cracking or signs of stress.

Above is a link to hydrotesting information on all compressed gas tanks. According to this, any tank stamped DOT-3E (which includes 3.5 oz, 4 oz, 7 oz and 9 oz chrome-moly tanks) are exempt from hydrotesting, unless exposed to temp extremes, heavy impact, deep scratches, etc. All tanks less than 2" in diamter AND 2' in length are DOT-3E. Print that off and take it in to your field.

Be aware: 9 oz aluminum tanks are DOT-3AL and need to be tested every 5 years.
