Hi Guys,

Do you notice the difference with buying a lightweight bottle, sounds silly but once added to the marker, and paint etc added do they really make a difference? One in question is the Ultralights, weighing less than 1KG.

I'm sure the theory and the reality of this is very different after a full day.

Hi,

What do you mean lightweight bottle - Stako/Safer or regular carbon bottle compared to steel?

You will notice the difference between steel and carbon bottle. Stako/Safer vs regular carbon bottle - depends on You set.

Borrowed my mate's Fuel bottle a while back - I now NEEEEEED one in my life. You will 110% notice a difference, even in play.

What about other gear? Barrel, hopper? I had Invert Mini with SLY Carbon barrel, Stako bottle, Myth reg and VLocity Jr hopper. It was REALLY light

You'll definitely notice the difference with a Fuel SL - lightest bottle on the market and still has a metal liner unlike the the bladder-style Stako and Safer bottles. It's about half a kilo lighter than a standard bottle, makes a real difference.

Yes, the lightweight bottles make a massive difference. I ran a stako, I will have one of the fuel bottles when I start playing again.
