On the first post yes you would be correct that is why on my post I quoted the person asking the question who wasn't the person who started the thread
..sssh it was a threadjackTo follow up on that post alone for the minute....your Preset tank is no good for a Speed...LP only for a Speed/A4
For the very first post..(to be fair) LP is a little too low for an LCD as in practical use you will input around 550-650 psi, if you use an adjustable or whatever the output is with a HP preset...if you are going to remain using this you will need to borrow an adjustable tank to properly set your LPR at factory settings and other than perhaps raising the dwell to compensate for britttle paint just leave the factory settings as they are.
what do i do to get my fps and psi down? a regulator? if so, what kinds will do the job and how much coin is this gonna cost me? thanks
Any will do it but they must be of the Low Pressure variety...the only exception to this is the Max-Flow for which you need the High Pressure version. Costs are what you can find as I am assuming that you are not in the UK and presets are not that common here as yet, they are about but not in the huge numbers you see in the US.
JUst out of interest.
Can you re-arrange the springs inside a wdp LP preset to make it output a higher pressure?
Ive never been inside one so im sorry if thats a stupid question.

A simple search and all becomes clear....

Very few of those have been sold...well in this country anyway and the comments are that the WDP LP preset is a "rebadged" preset of which the maker does do a HP pressure version, so in theory yes it can be done but only if those comments are accurate. Given the grief that can be had with presets not giving the correct outputs and the currently non avavilabilty of a preset of either 500psi or 350psi, totally useless if doing any resetting of an Angels internal parts accurately.
I would not want to use any Preset on any Marker for those inaccurracy problems and too many people complain about unscrewing the reg from the bottle aswell, you could use threadlock to stop this but then you are looking at trouble come hydro test time. Presets are an american influence that I feel we should resist.

with your PMI reg, you could go the route of having PMI turn your pre-set into an LP output reg instead of HP. In the US the kit to make the change costs about $25 and most decent shops are able to do it for you. It's a lot cheaper than buying an entirely new HPA tank.
The Crossfire LP preset screw in tanks are great performers and relatively cheap. Also, the Nitro Duck X-stream is a screw-in adjustable tank that costs about the same as a pre-set. At about $220, it's a nice alternative to spending $400 on a MaxFlo or MacDev or as much as $500 on an Angel Air system.
Also, If you use an on/off with your screw in tank, that usually takes care of the potential problem of unscrewing the reg from the tank.
I never said there wasn't a way of being "careful" or "sensible" with screw in presets...but since when do those two statements go inline with a description of the average paintballer..... A woman died because of no sense being used with an on/off tap and an imporperly torgued valve.
And if you are buying Max-Flows at $400 dollars then you need to shop around a little more.

That's true. You said:
I just don't see a problem with using a decent quality pre-set screw in tank and an on/off. Nevertheless, I suppose there can be safety issues with anyone who uses CO2 or CA improperly.
I saw that too, if we're thinking about the same incident. Poor woman was hit by a flying CO2 bottle that came unscrewed from its valve. From the looks of it, the fool who installed the anti-siphon tube didn't use locktite.
Sorry, they're $350 at many places here. My mistake.
