    Where are the hpa tanks?

    I am trying to buy a new nitro tank for my nephew and stores say they are not in stock. Has anyone ordered a crossfire tank, 68,4500 high pressure tank in the last few weeks. If so where did you order it and how long did it take to be delivered. He would like one by next weekend.

    Thanks.

      thanks

      I read that post. Does anyone know when another batch of carbon fiber is to be made. That must be one huge batch of material. I was just hoping someone would post and say yes so and so has them in stock, I just ordered one.

      thanks.

          pmi

          are pmi tanks really on par with crossfire. They are a little more expensive but I have found a site that gives you a free dye cover, nipple cover, and thread saver, and they are in stock.

          I will go to pb review and check them out but feel free to leave feedback on them.

          thanks.

              I heard nitroduck stockpiled a large number of tanks. They maybe the only one for awhile.




              It is better that people think your a dumb@$$ then for you to open your mouth and confirm it.

                From past experience and analysis (if one can compare on company analysis) PMI regulators sucked. That being said supposedly they are redesigned and are basically a reverse engineering of Crossfire regulators - ie just as good

                Self serving comment (assuming the shop didn't sell it yet) I have a HP Crossfire tank I picked up new last year at the beginning of the year (not sure of hydro) for sale 68/4500 Carbon Fiber with CP on-off and CP drop (medium) for $200. I don't have it here as I left it at the shop for them to sell though, and it may be sold, would have to ask.

                  I can't speak for the PMI regs, but the Crossfire regs are known for having great recharge rates.

                    anyone

                    anyone own a pmi reg that likes it. Do you feel they are on par with a crossfire. Please speak up. I need to order one before the end of the week.

                    thanks

                      I have a crossfire 70/4500 that I purchased from paintballoutlet.com but it was quite some time ago.

                      I was happy with the purchase though.

                        I have an 88/4500 PMI Pure Energy tank (2002) and a 68/4500 Crossfire tank (2003), and to be honest, I don't think I shoot fast enough to tell if the PMI doesn't recharge enough. I have had to replace the guage in the PMI, and fix small leaks in the guage and fill plug on the Crossfire. Neither set of repairs was much work and the guage on the PMI wasn't that expensive.

                        IMHO, it is a pretty close tossup between the two...

                              The PMI regs I've used have had poor recharge rates... dunno if newer stuff has resolved it. But yeah, they at least sucked at one time. EMag + past PMI presets = will not recharge fast enough to reset the solenoid plunger at ~18-20bps. Crossfire is much better.
