    Best HPA Tank Size... 68, 88, 114ci

    The price differences seem small. Is there a reason why the 114/4500 tanks are less than the 68/4500 tanks? What's the preferred size?

    114 tanks are freaking huge, and there really is no need to have a tank that large.

      114 tanks are *huge* You'll have quite a bit of air, but they're generally just too big. The most used size is more than likely a 68/4500 though. Some people may use an 88 stubby if they play back, or 45 if they want to cut some weight. Most efficiency comparisons are on a 68/4500 though, if that gives any indication of how often they're used.

        I like my 68's best - I have a 91 but it is too big. 45'sCI are nice if you can get consistent fills to 4500PSI but if yo cant go with 68 - my opinion

          each tank size has a significant difference in size, you wont be able to ask us
          the only one i can suggest off the top is 68

            My personal favorite is the 88 stubby. Its the same length as the 68 inch tanks and only an inch wider. Holds a lot more air than your standard 68 (noticable).

                I've owned a 45/45 conquest, 68/30 crossfire, 68/45 pe, 88/5k pe, and a 72/45 pe tank, the 88 and 72 are both stubby tanks. The 72 has been far my favorite, just love the feel of stubby tanks.

                  I like the 68ci size the most. Before upping the internals in my 'Cocker I'd worry about shot count, but the stubby 88s make the gun too damn back heavy.

                  But now I do a case off a 68.45 so it's cool with me. :)

                      68 all the way. I love the way a 68 with a mini drop plays.

                        I use a 45/45. If you're really interested in on-field performance, then I would think you would want to carry the bare minimum that you need to get you through a single game. Carrying a larger tank because it lasts you all day seems to make about as much sense as carrying an entire day's worth of paint on you for every game.

                        If you're worried about other stuff, like air fill costs, then yeah, go with a larger tank.

                        I think the most popular sizes on average will be the 68 and 70 stubby.

                        I can't explain the inverse relationship between tank size and pricing, other than... gouging.

                            One other thing: When people talk about CF tanks, are they referring to Center Flag or Cross Fire?
