Here you go bud have a read of thisThat does help, thank you. How would I go about fitting a reg for the first time on this bottle. Is there a guide I could follow or something? I have heard that you might need to loctite it in? Is that correct? Cheers
Yeah Gaz is correct in what he has said. With the tank you will get a passport/manual which will have all the details for its first fill (make sure to keep it!) and will come pressurized with a bike pump style reg on for transport without a reg attached so you can always keep a little bit of pressure in it. You do not need to locktite it on just hand torque, for a reg I would agree with @marzocchi1988 get a Ninja pro v1 or v2 if its within budgetHad mine from new (empty) and had a reg fitted on it (ninja pro). I then had to lightly fill it in accordance with the supplied instructions (very low PSI for first fill) to allow the bladder to expand and for the air trapped between the bladder and outer shell to escape. After waiting (cant quite remember how long the instructions said to wait as I am currently at work and don't have the paperwork) I was able to fill it to full pressure without issue. It can be completely drained but then the same precautions need to be applied when filling for the first time. This can be avoided if some pressure is kept in the bottle to keep the bladder inflated which is why it is recommended to never fully empty it. The regulator was subsequently switched to a pure energy reg without issue (the reason for the switch was selling the bottle but keeping the Ninja reg for my son's bottle).
