    Tank regs

    I am currently using an older Nitro Duck MegaReg. Honestly I hate it, way too heavy. I'm looking to replace it with something lighter. I would like to keep the tank if I can seeing as how I just re-hydroed it. I use a minimag with a x-valve on it so the more psi I can push out the better.

    It has been a wile since the last time I got a tank, so I was wondering what you guys would suggest. All I really want to do it lighten my marker some.

        got one... love the size and feel of it, have not got to use it yet because I have no paintball guns. I will test out the piston kits too, they are a cinch to change out for higher or lower pressure


        The 70cu stubby is a perfect fit for the Mini and a direct mount rail asa combo though. The only flaw I have found is the collar being so short you have to mount the ASA lined up to the back of the grip frame, or you cant screw the tank on all the way.

            I actually switched out my MegaReg for a new Ireg. I absolutely love it. It's small, light, and with the piston kits it's perfect. I actually went and purchased another Ireg for my spare tank. Unlike some regs, they don't seem to have much (if any) drop off. The recharge is great and you can apparently change the color of them to go with your set up (I actually just found this out today at my local shop when they had 8 different colors).

            One cool thing about the different colored reg body kits is that not only does it replace the sleeve the piston sits in, but also the threads! No more worrying about worn threads!

            For the price (<$40 each) you can't really beat them.

            Just my $.02

                By chance, which version of the Megareg drop do you have. I know there are others that are smaller. But yeah, its huge.

                    i just got hold of a "dynoflow"............... amazing, the reacticity you get of it when you crank up the input pressure was amazing, the site owner told me to turn it down but even so i had ppl complaining about it that were shooting electros

                    it was pretty cheap as well

                        On a dynaflow? I've had it as high as 1200psi, then the blow off relief valve starts leaking.

                              I could. Then again, I've been in my uncles shop (he owns a construction business) when the reg on the top of his big steel tanks failed after he "fixed" it. It proceeded to blow a nice hole in the roof.

                              I think I will leave my reg/tank work to an airsmith.
