HPA Trends...what's Hot?

[Russ]

I'm getting back "into" paintball, and when I was playing, adjustable reg systems were the shizzle.

Flatlines, CenterFlag, Air America etc were the "best" air systems available.

Now it seems everyone is using a screw-in tank, and many companies have discontinued all their adjustable systems?

Why?

...and what's the "best" screw-in for Mags, particularly Mags the shoot fast and like around 1k PSI of input pressure?

well theres the new i-reg from nitroduck that is an adjustable preset in a sanse. its got spinrgs that you swap out in order to adjust the psi output. its also a screw in. im going to be picking one up as soon as i find a 45/45 tank to my liking.

I still use my adjustable....but Im old

My oppinion is dont fix it if it isnt broke

[olinar]

im acctually running a raptor reg, i had a screw in but i just sold it since i dont use it anymore. i would love a raptor rex reg but i cannot find one or anything on them. im starting to think they never existed.

For 1000 psi you are going to need an adjustable. I use to have an Air America Apocalypse on my mag and really liked it. Most of the preset screw in high pressure tanks are going to be around 800 to 850 psi. I like Pure Energy regs.

Watch out, because not all adjustables can go that high.

[CKY_Alliance]

If you want to use screw in go Crossfire HP (red label) they have the some of the most consistent regs out and they have an output of 800-850 psi...


Don't worry about any other brand if you're getting screw in just go crossfire and save yourself time.


Styg's post below reminded me...Draxxus and Cp are releasing tiny tanks, IDK what the numbers for consistancy or output are on them, but I'm sure they are decent..



/wonder why no one had tried to patent tanks/regs yet...

If I ever get a gun ... I'll let you know how recharge is on the I-reg - you might want to talk direct to Nitro duck, their new tuffskin tanks are TINY

I like the macdev tanks myself...

I'm still running a conquest tank, but it sucks for mags because it's OPP it 650.....

[Russ]

I'm old, too, and I have no intensions of replacing the Flatlines, or the Mac-Dev Conquest on my Son's 'cocker...

that said, I still would like to know the the "best" pre-set screw-in reg is?

The CenterFlag 420 SV is sweet, as is the Mac-Dev Legionair pre-set. I like the CP reg as well. All are easily rebuildable as well.

adjustable screw ins are where its at

there is the I-reg and a few others.

[Dead Eye]

Count me a s old too... I still use my Armageddon every time I play, and it's on a 114/4500.

I also have an older Max Flow that I just picked up. love them both.

Croddfire hands down for screw in presets.

[warbeak2099]

Nitro Duck also makes the X-stream. It's a screw in that is adjustable up to 900psi with an allen key.

Unless you have a mag, you don't need anything other than a preset HP tank. LP is for the regless Angels and nothing else. HP is good for everything else.

Dye Throttles are great. Crossfire is definately one of the best. Pure Energy is so-so.

throttles seem to fill slow, and have a horrid recharge rate...

crossfire is good
