A Little help with my kit (Invert Mini)

[cookieboro]

Im awaiting my invert mini to arrive, as this is my first paintball maker i have no clue what hoppers or tanks i need to go with this.

Could you lot give me some idea what i should be looking for?

Thanks xox

rotor and a carbonfibre bottle is the best but expensive, try a halo and i would still go for a carbon fibre bottle....

Ahh thanks i have been looking at a halo, but the bottle...? what does my marker need? i seen posts for all kinds of different types (HT 1.1L ect ect) i know the marker needs air but thats all i know

HPA preferably carbon fibre, steel tanks are fine but you may want to upgrade so just get a carbon fibre one straight away, go for 0.8 or 1.1l (48, 68 CU)personal preference.

Something like this is ideal

That would be nice, but i think i want something more on the cheap side then i can upgrade and still have the cheaper stuff for backup

Ok well i got a halo but im still stuck on what bottle to get. I dont understand all the bottle jargon. So please speak to me in laymans terms =p

Theses 2 number are the size of the bottles
48CU = 0.8 Liters of air
68CU = 1.1 Liters of air

The bigger the CU the bigger the bottle. Bigger bottles = more air storage

Steel bottles allows you to fill to 3000 psi
Carbon fiber allows you to fill to 4500-5000psi depending on the bottle

The higher the psi = more air storage

Steel bottles are cheap so the avarage person buys a 68cu - 3000psi bottle. This allows you a good amount of storage

All bottles have a test date. A test date is when the bottle was pressure tested. This makes sure it's safe to use
You don't want this to happen

If your buying second hand be carefull with bottles. It's best to buy new just incase

I see, Thanks i get it now

I think im going to be playing woodsball so would a "3000 psi 48 cu Air Bottle" be ok for now?
A s a estimate how many balls could i shoot without a refill?

tbh i would use a 68cu 3000psi (nice and cheap with lots of storage). I'm not sure how much a mini uses but that should do it for about 1000+ balls. On avarage i use 400-600 balls per 15 min game (uses 1000psi ish but i'm not using a mini).

You have to think as well sometimes you play you'll just keep rolling (This mean swopping sides without refills).
