What is a good Preset Tank for mags?

[SR_matt]

I havent seen Pmi mentioned. So I will. PMI makes a good preset tank.

from my personal experances, from the experances of my friends, and espicaly from the experances of the guy who is basicaly my paintball mentor, i would debate that pmi makes a good tank.

my mentor used to have a pmi tank, when it was full and working "correctly" he could out shoot it with his mag (and just fyi he has an early mech Tac One shooting at a medium speed (like 6-7 bps) so its not like hes putting it on an e marker and trying to rip)

my friedns that used to work at the field with me (some of them were playing pro/am level) had used them on their E-markers (cockers at the time i think) and the tanks could not keep up well

in my 2 years working at a field probably 95% of the tanks that people brought in with blown regs were the PMI tanks


some people might be able to get a good one here or there but from ym experances i will never look at using or buying a PMI air tank (ill use the co2 tanks cause you cant reall fudge up a co2 tank)=

So you guys don't think a Flatline system is good for a mag? I thought they were specially made for a mag. I just bought one for myself but haven't really tested it yet.

Made by AGD, but that is where it ends for me. I'm like one for the few to have negative feedback on it, but mine has sucked from day one on anything rt. Works good for the minimag.

Whatever it is it should be from 68-88ci becaquse mags are air suckers. GO FOR A BIG TANK. I made the mistake of buying a 48ci so go big.

I'd like to interject a quick question.

What's the functional difference between a 3000psi and a 4500 tank? And what's better for a mag?

Hey Eddie, if you want I'm going down to HSP with Lasrsktr and Shrub this saturday. I've got a 92CI Centerflag 420 hooked up to one of my mags. I can let you borrow the tank for a game or 2 if you want. LOL someone resurrected this thread! Well the offer still stands.

functional differance, well since it has a reg in theory nothing but in reality the 4500 tank (when full) will rechage slightly faster (giving a harder kick back on the trigger)

my experance shows that with my guerilla air tank full i can easily walk my trigger but when it runs down to 2000-3000ish i start to lose the ability slighty becasue the trigger will not kick back as hard

you wont notice a big differance but you might notice some. if you are going to buy a tank i cannot think of a reason to not get the 4500 tank (most 4500s are only 20 bucks more than their 3000 counterpart and a lot of makers are stopping selling 3000 at least they seem harder to find).

I love my new CP - and the dust black reg matches my mag...

[sixtoes1313]

I have a preset 90/4500 nitroduck and never had a problem with it. 800psi output. Never had a problem..would sell it too. PM me if interested. good hydro till 2009

crossfire (the only bad thing about xfire is that they tend to blow burst disks alot)

I have a 68/45 Flatline and a 68/45 Centerflag Dynaflow. Both work wonders, but if I had to choose I would go with the Dynaflow b/c as the tank gets low on air it automatically bumps the pressure up so you never miss a shot. Not to mention, it has the best on/off system on the market. All you do is push the off button and the marker is completely drained of air.

crossy blowing a lot of discs? hmm ive had mine for over 3 years and never blew a dics on it yet. which side are you blowing it out in the LP or the HP side? if its on the HP side your either getting bad discs or some one is over filling it. if its on the low side then it might need to be rebuilt.

More air in the same size tank

A 68/3000 holds less air then a 68/4500. The reason is that there is 50% more pressure in the tank so more air is packed in.

Plain and simple.

automatically bumps the pressure up so you never miss a shot.

Someone is going to have to explain that one, :rofl:

As the tank loses air the output creeps up. It can be nice/annoying.

Again, this is a good thing?

[d4m4don3]

A good thing on a mag. A bad thing for some other guns like angels. If the pressure goes too high you can get called out for shooting too hot. But since Mags have a reg on the valve it doesn't affect them.
