air advice

[heedhed]

hey all, i've just bought an sp ion but i'm a complete newb n i was just woundering what methods you use for filling air tanks. i've heard of ppl using hand pumps but there seems to be a bit of speculation about it n know you can fill from a skuba tank with adaptor but how much does it cost to get these refilled? i will be grateful for any help you can give. regards heedhed.

Not sure about the hand pump but the scuba tanks cost about £4-£5 to get them refilled, any local dive shops or scuba clubs can help.

Just becareful filling using a method your not used to, ask an experienced player to help.

if you go to a field you can fill it up but i would think you would proberly have to pay a small fee

Most sites only allow you to fill if you're actually playing there, so if you want to fill at your convenience a dive tank and fill rig is a must.

Filling a bottle with high pressure air (HPA) can be a dangerous thing to do, so get advice before you try to fill by yourself.

Hand pumps are not really a practical way to fill a 4500psi bottle due to the physical effort required to do this.
