My brother uses either his PMI adj or what I think is a Crossfire preset both work fine on his Emag. I use an Armageddon with mine. I like it. My Flatline was a disapointment, but many have good luck with them. Adjustables gives you the option of running higher psi which can make any rt valve really sing. Not all regs are created equal though. For instance my brothers Crossfire will kick the snot out of my Flatline adjustible, but the Armageddon seems to smoke them all. AirAmerica ajustable air systems have always treated me well. So that is what I stick with.

If youre not going to be shooting fast enough to notice, buy a preset. Sure, they might have lower flow, but if that low flow is more than enough, who cares?
from what you have said, i think you should buy a crossfireAutomag RT Pro

A HUGE advantage that adjustables have over presets is that they can be adapted to any gun. Some guns can only run well on low pressure, some can only run on high-pressure. Gun, that really only matters if you switch guns a lot (like me) but it is an advantage. That new centerflag, the pseudo-adjustable, looks sharp, and is only a lil bit more expensive than the crossfire.

What kind of issues do they have? I've had one for over 2 years now and I have never had a problem with it. Its my favorite tank actually and everyone I know who owns them like them as well.Originally posted by phantomhitmandoes anyone BESIDES nitrocuk make a screw adjustable tank?

Zak,
I think something is wrong with your friend's hybrid setup...
(rod length relationship to HES pick up point?)
He's only shooting 12-13 bps ...and very erratically too - no steady rhythm):

Thanks to ImageShack for Free Image Hosting
Here's a video of me shooting emag hybrid @ around 15 bps with a Crossfire preset... with no chuffs, no starving, and no problems...
This is not mech "sweetspotting" - mech sweetspotting requires around 950+ psi and is faster than hybrid.
video:
-emag
-crossfire 72/4500 stubby
-hybrid mode
-old 'non buffering' 2.4 software

Can someone host it for a few days?
thanks

few months back at a major tourney, the bottle actually detached from the reg! This was during a game, while the tank was in use on a gun. The stopped the tourney for a brief time, took the tank, and tried to hush it up. Nitroduck people it was not a major problem and that they would try to make a better version of it. The person posted on pbnation about the whole account of what happened.Originally posted by evil1What kind of issues do they have?

I really wanted to get an adj nitro duck, but after reading that you can forget it.

The two things i didn't care for on the Nitro Duck screw-in adjustable tank were:
- adjustability range only goes up to 925-950 psi. If you're going to buy an adjustable tank for a mag, then at least have it be able to go up to 1,000-1,100 psi...
- Because of the design, the screw in reg will always wobble a little bit... with the tank crewed in tight to the gun, the tank still has a little wobble in it. Very unsettling...

DO NOT BUY A CROSSFIRE!!!! When they get to about 1200 PSI, they can't keep up with a constant 12 bps.... Seen same problem on two different markers and two different tanks.Official Member # 10,261 and so is George

just like the above statement everyone has different issues. I can shoot my old 68-3 crossfire at 20 bps (musashi 3 ramped) all the way down to about 100 psi before its starts dropping off. i have never had issues with eitehr of the crossfires i have owned. the only issues i have seen with tanks are teh adj nitroducks, angel airs, wgp tanks, and evil tanks.my feedback
