    What is the best/fastest air setup?

    So many choices, I have both and Angel and a X-Mag and I am looking for a new air setup, need some help can I get some oppinions?

    What has the fastest recharge rate? Reliable? Warranty? Some many people claim that their rig is the best, so what is everyone using?

    PReset- Crossfire and Centerflag own.

    Adjustable- MAcdev Conquest and the Evil Scion

    I own a Crossfire and Conquest so I can vouch for them, the other ones are great supposedly too.

      Yes for a preset I would go with a crossfire or a bulldog. If I could though I would choose a crossfire I own a bulldog 45/45, but want a Crossfire 68/45. They the same, becuase a bulldogs reg is very heavy.
      But if you want an adjustable reg then look at the Nitro duck X-stream. They are supposed to be very good. I have a NItro duck preset high 68/30 and it never let me down. And the x-streams are aupposed to very easy to maintain.

          Crosfire, hands down best tank I've owned.
          X-mag #10. Nuff said.

            Crossfire and Centerflag are the fastest recharging presets hands down. Evil Scion and Centerflag Dynaflows own the adjustable crowd. I have a couple of old Hyperlfows 201s that are getting too heavy, so I'm moving to presets (Hyperflow 420)

              Dynaflows

              I like centerflag but I want something adjustable and that takes me to the dynaflow. If you live near Stevens Point WI you can shoot my RT with the dynaflow on it and it is amazing.

                  Yeah we are having speedbacl practice this saturday at my shop and then sunday we will be on Dam Road our usual sunday woodsball. Should be a good turnout weather permitting. My big game this year is going to be on October 30th a holloween big game at Dam road. Good fun and if you are over 21 free beer/bonfire at my place afterwards. I am also having a back to school blowout sale on everything in the shop some items marked down 20 percent and that is getting low.

                    You do realize that Crossfire uses carleton tanks (really heavy) and ACI uses luxfer tanks (really light). It doesn't matter how much the bulldog reg weighs, that crossfire 68/45 is going to be twice as much.
                    I think you people are all way to concerned with the tanks airflow. You aren't going to outshoot your tank. If you do, your gun has some serious effeciency problems. Get a tank that you like the way it feels on your gun, and doesn't weigh too much. Go look on some pro teams, there is a team using every single tank in the world, and it doesn't make them any worse players. It kind of gets me that someone will spend 1300 on a gun trying to get the lightest fastest gun out there, and then they go and throw a heavy crossfire tank on it. If you don't believe me about the weight difference, go and find out for yourself. My PMI 88/45 is lighter than any of the 70-72 stubby bottles Ive seen, and its an ounce heavier than a crossfire 68/45.

                      Dynaflow hands down!

                      i'm going to have to second or third the dynaflow. I just picked one up from madmolly and my x-valve sings! It is even lighter that the preset AA melee that I have.

                        Apocolypse 2K Air System

                        Well based on the research I did and my requirements:

                        Must be adjustable...
                        Must be able to do an output 1000+ psi...
                        Must be lighter than average...
                        Look Good...
                        and have a great warranty...


                        So I went with the Apocolypse 2K Air System 72/45...

                        So I hope I like it, I looked at the Specs of every system recommended and only the dynaflow falls in the same category, so it was 6 in one hand and a half-dozen in the other...

                        Does anyone have eny experince with the Apocolypse 2K Air System?

                        Thanks for the input,

                        Pat

                          I have to cast one for Centerflag also!!! I've had mine for 4 years now and it's been phenomenal!! Not as much as a hickup with me E-mag, and their customer service is second only to AGD!!!

                            Mac Dev '03 Conquest. (won't work on the Xmag though) I use a Mac Dev Max Attack Series II (predecessor to the 'quest), and have never had any trouble with shootdown, and it's adjustable from 0-1000 psi (the gauge goes to 1200 but I've never tried it that high). They're not made any more since they were replaced by the Conquest, but they are still very light and have a fast recharge rate. If you can find one used, I'd pick it up.


                            If I had to get something other than the Conquest / Max Attack though, it would be either the Dynaflow or a Crossfire 72/45 preset.

                              Well it depends on what marker is your primary. From what I read (not personal experience), the AA systems will give the best reactive Mags and for the greater burst length. Turn that X-Mag to hybrid mode and crank the output up past 900 PSI and get mad sweetspotting.

                              On the other hand AA doesn't handle lower input presures lower than 400 PSI very well from what I've heard, so just don't try and run the Angel at super low pressure like 200 PSI or anything.
