I have been a member on here since 07 but have never been active which is why I have posted on here. (Hope this is ok) i have been out of paintball for a long time and I'm not up to date on the best gear and slightly confused on all the different regs on bottles and what the difference is!

Any info on the best hopper and bottle on the market would be much appreciated!

Hopper wise the Virtue Spire seems to be top of the market at the moment. :)
I've heard nothing but good things about it. I currently use a rotor which has never really let me down and has been very reliable, but I will be moving to a spire soon. :)

The spire has a true 200 shot capacity and you can also get hold of a spire 260, which is only half an inch or so bigger both ways than the normal spire but with an extra 60 ball capacity :)

I use a dye rotor and find it great espesicially the fact you can strip it down with no tools really easy to get along with

Bottle I have a 68 cu gurella air with the new 45 myth reg running on my invert mini and can squeeze atleast 700/800 rounds out of it without running dry have not done an exact count but I tend to run out of paint before air !!

I would go for a gurreilla tank, not that there is much difference between the top tanks on the market. Loader wise, spire all the way. I haD a rotor and it work perfectly fine, I just prefer the spire BUT you have to get you head round the fact it looks like an 80's Miami vice speed boat!
