Tape on the tank?

The only benefit of tape I can see is that sometimes when screwing my tank off the marker the cover slips. The good ol' knee-clamp manouver usually sorts out that problem though. I guess tape or skate grip would sort of help with that problem.
Tank covers offer slightly better padding against potential breaks on the tank and the cover can be taken off and washed easier than removing and re applying tape all the time.

Each to their own I guess!.

Damn boy, you need to start eating your greens.

Step away from the mouse and keyboard and hit the gym for a while instead.

Not meaning to be too contaversial, but.... do you think wrapping your mommy's tit tape around a stako would stop it leaking any less???
you've obviously never met me :p

if what im saying is so wrong. Why do peeps sell there tanks to get lighter stako's?

this thread has gone way off track, i wanted to know if its all above board to use tape on your tank.

admins feel free to delete. thank you

its cos youve got a crap bottle cover, its got no grip on the inside of it to stop it slipping on the tank, get a decent one.

C'mon guys, this one is obvious.

Big bottle cover = bounce bounce bounce.

yeah but you suck if you're getting shot in the bottle, you may as well sell the whole thing and give up :p;)
