Need help picking N2 tank

[Warewolf50]

Well ive been out of the sport for a lil while now and i am geting back into it and I need a new N2 tank. What i am looking for is a 68ci 4500 high pressure pre set.

My two questions are what are the good brands right now casue when i got out of the sport bout a year back cross fire seemed to be a very reliable tank brand. And also where should i order from, casue pantiballgear.com used to be where i got all of my stuff but they dont seem to have alot of stuff in stock right now.

Thanks for the help

Crossfire still is the best in my opinion in a preset tank. Reasonably priced as well.

crossfire is still a great tank.

Crossfire is definitely the way to go. Excellent performance and rock steady.

Crossfire, the new PMI tanks are decent (I'm using one now) and the spring back can be changed for high or low pressure though its not a fully adjustable tank.

crossfire for preset and flatline for adjustable.

What's a good online store that carries Crossfire besides PBGear?

Sorry to interupt but I was about to ask the same question....where to you get a flatline for a decent price? And are Nitro Ducks still good?

GO crossfire if your going to go preset

I've had good experiences from www.actionvillage.com . And crossfire tanks rule.

Ive got a crossfire and 2 pmi n2 tanks... both are great.

Cross fires are great, but you really should look into MacDev's LegionAir. They are by far my favorite tank. Light and reliable. LegionAirs are supposed to be the fastest recharging tanks on the market now.

[warbeak2099]

I wouldn't be touching MacDevs right now what with the whole bottle scandal.

Crossfire and Nitro Duck are probably the two best recharging presets on the market. I'd rather go with the Nitro Duck just because of the "plasma" covering on the tanks. I believe they're 5 year tanks also. Other than that, the regs are equal in performance. They're good regs too.

Bottle scandal????? link?

[mobsterboy]

SUMMARY: GCI, the makers of some CARBON FIBER Crossfire, Archon Ignition, and MACDev Legionaire Tanks (not regs, just the tank part) were found to be faulty due to the lack of Carbon Fiber wrapping on the tanks (company trying to make an extra buck so they substituted the quality lag). Now, the owners of these tanks must pay a sum, ship it to their purchase origin so that the reg may be replaced onto a tank of better quality. The regs are still the same, its just that the tanks were not wrapped safely enough, thus, 3000 and 4500 pounds per square inch could be unleashed all at once on the owners, causing the company to be liable, although they say they aren't. Which is why any and all fieldowners, shopowners and bottle fillers will not fill these tanks.
