i got a dye throtle tank, it is high pressure. but im changing into using cockers and i just realize i should use low pressure with cockers. so is there some way i can convert my tank into low pressure output or maybe get an inline reg can solve the problem? or is it better just get a low pressure tank?

i dont know what would really happen if i screw in the hp tank, will the marker explode? :confused:

Cockers are fine on a HP bottle.

It won't explode...

The guns regulator will sort it all out for you.

actually there is something i really dont understand about inline regulators, for example when i have a high pressure tank feed into the gun, can i just lower the "screw/settings" on the reg then the tank will just serve as a low pressure tank? or is there something like a high pressure range and low pressure range inline regs?

should i let them know the tank is for paintball, and actually what kind of gas should be filled in (i guess dive shop have oxygen? for divers), does that matters
Ring one first and explain what type of tank you have and what its use is for. Not many diver shops would use co2 in breathable air tanks I assure you! :DI take it you have a High Pressure Air tank that you want filled?
A paintball site may do it for you-where do you normally play? Ask them for help too.

yes i need to fill the dye tank to make settings on the cocker, im just getting back into paintball recently and i havent been to any local fields yet, but apparently the fields are very far from where i live

im just wondering will it be ok to fill oxygen in the air tank because i dont actually know what is supposed to be filled in the air tanks
