Best Bottle

[SteRoberts]

I am looking into a 1.1 4500psi air system to go onto my Eclipseblade (e1 classic factory series).

There is so much out there and its all confusing, i dont want anything stupidly expensive.

First off What is the eqivalent Cu to 1.1ltr? and What would you all recomend?

I was looking at the PMI Pure enegy presets at planet, and i cant really find anything else.

Thanks - Ste .

Right...my recommendation..is to buy a 1.1L, fibre wrapped tank from somewhere...can be got from Fat Bobs for around £125...maybe from Planet as well...1.1L is 68 Cubic Inches.
Then get yourself a Nitroduck Extreme Reg from Pheonix (I think Pheonix are crap, but as far as I know, they are the ND dealers for the UK) for about £75. Its an adjustable reg, that looks like a preset, and they are very consistent...it's what I use.

Steve...No...not known for my sugar coating tendencies!! Well...thats just my opinion...and that of the many dissatisfied Pheonix customers that I have met...however...the ND EXtreme, is a darn good reg...and VFM as well.

Rob...yeah...I mentioned you for the bottle coz I know they are very reasonable, price wise...but I think the ND Extreme, is the best VFM reg out there...no point buying a preset, when you can get an adjustable,very good, almost the same compact size...for £75!

Cheers dudes, I have also been recomended the new angel air preset which is under £200 and is apparently good, and doesnt break down all the time like its electronic cousins.

I have some thinking to do, How fiddly are regs and such, because im not the most technical person and like to just screw in and go, and screw out at the end of the day.

right mate sorry to thread jack but i was a bit curious about bottles aswell, what is the differece between a 3000psi bottle and 4500 or 5000 and why are the alloy bottles so much cheaper i take it the fibre wrapped protect,

again sorry bout thread jacking but it is on topic and never know the answers may help in your quest for the perfect bottle.

The ND Extreme, is completely stripable(unlike many presets), so you can replace any parts you may need to (not that I have had to)...what more can you want from a reg...super consistent, an adjustable reg for the price of a preset, and its only slightly longer than a preset...
3000, 4500 and 5000 PSI bottles are the pressures that they are capable of storing air/N2 at...obviously...the higher the pressure, the more air is stored, so more shots available...5000 PSi bottles are overkill, as we dont fill to 5000psi in the UK.

My ND Extreme, on my E2, delivers (when using good paint/barrel) 297, 297, 295 etc..very consistent, no shootdown.

ok so im just about to buy a stock impluse if i was to buy a alloy 3000psi preset how many shots do you think i will get out of it, cheers mate

 

[Skeet]

Alloy is heavier and flat bottomed (like co2 tank) shots depends on size of bottle as well as pressure rating...and impulses are gas hungry...if its one of those 0.8L 3000 psi ones, witha reg for £80 at Pheonix...save up and buy something better!
