AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
That 13ci tank is a steel tank, the reason it isn't fiber wrapped is because it's a steel tank and the tank is strong enough for the pressure rating. A fiberwrapped 13ci would NOT be one of those wrapped in fiber. Doing so would be completely pointless. It would be a thin wall Al tank wrapped in fiber. It would undoubtably be smaller and a lot lighter.

That's two of us. Sort of like the 47ci/3000psi AL tank as apposed to the 68ci/3000psi steel one.

That's a lot more than a 3.5oz CO2 tank. Anybody know the measurements of that tank? Compare it to the mini-SCUBA rated tank I found at Luxfer. That tank weighs a little over 2lb and has twice the capacity. (although you'd need to add the weight of a regulator)
"Weight-wise, about the same as a 7oz tank and just a tich shorter. And since it's under 2" it never needs hydro."

More than I said but still.....
You have to understand that the site giving the weight is also charging well over $100 for a 12V or 9V Revy and showing a pic of a VL200.
They also WAY over estimate the weight of their items so they can charge crazy shipping.
