the easiest place to get fills is your local site, but if you want to be able to gas your bottle up at home the best way is to get a dive bottle and fill rig.

The reason im so anxious to get a fill is that as I mentioned in a couple of posts earlier, I am REALLY new to paintball. Ive bought some reasonable gear (i think!) but i want to familiarise myself with it before i go to a site and make a complete noob of myself.

Obviously Im not mad keen to go spending a fortune on stuff i dont need but i also dont want to be cutting any corners with safety etc. Just want to go about things in the right way if that makes any sense? :confused:

very few dive shops will have the necessary adaptor to fill your bottle, so a site would be the cheapest source of fills.

Local Site

When I first started out, I had my newly bought equipment, no air, a bit of paint and no real experience of managing my marker and its air system, so I phoned up my local site and asked if I could attend on a day when he was just doing as bit of maintenance so that I could be taught safety with regards to air fills, and just get a feel for firing my marker on his feild.

I was given an induction on site health and safety and air fills, and I felt more confident when I attended my first walk-on. Also, I put about 300 rounds through my marker just to get a feel of using it.

Why not try something similair with your local site?

it's a good thing to have a fear of high pressure air, over the years i've been an engineer and played paintball, i tend to take it for granted.

But trust me if you don't respect high pressure air, you will get hurt.
