Well it's not really my max budget, but I do want to keep things on the sort of low side?if it's you max budget and you don't want to buy second hand - sure
Reason why I was going to buy new was because I'm a noob and I don't know how I'll go about serving the tank etc so if I buy it new I know everything is good with it
I tell you what!
What do you recommend?Additonal Questions!!
What is the difference betweena fluffy and a double ended Swab? :/
Do I need to buy a pressure gauge as well as the air system?
well for about £70 you can get a 2nd hand 1.1litre HP Fibre wrap bottle - it's lighter and holds more air.
Just make sure the one you buy has a few years before it needs a re-test.
Also you will have to wait until one comes up forsale.
You shouldn't have to service a tank at all. - once it's current test has run out you will need to send it off for re-testing (about £25)

Oh right ok, I might do that then
Sounds within budget and a bargin! Cheers buddy.
Whats a fluffy and a swab? Are they both used for claening the barrel? What are the differnces between the two?
maybe different materials used?? never gave it too much thought.
i have a BT "battle swab" it does what it says on the tin cleans out barrel breaks, it stays in my thigh pocket looking pretty i think i have used it once or twice.

a fluffy and swab are the same, the other thing you can use for cleaning your barrel is a straight-shot squeegie, but fluffies are best for cleaning small amounts of paint out and leaving your barrel clean, whereas a straightshot i better for cleaning bad breaks out of your barrel. In an ideal world you use the straightshot then the fluffy, but in reality just grab yourself a fluffy or two. The bottle you've suggested is fine. You may want to upgrade in future, but for a budget it's just fine. You don't really need to service your bottle (they need retesting every 5 years), so don't worry too much about that, but when dealing with these extremely high pressures it is best to go new if there's any doubt.
