Difference between Fibre Wrapped Bottles??

Hey guys...

Looking around at fibre wrapped bottles, all I see is a load of jargon. Could someone please translate all this into english for me.

Also, I am buying an Ion soon, what one of these bottles will best suite me (fibre wrapped).

PMI 3000psi 68ci/1.1l Glass Wrap system - £149.99
PMI 5000psi 0.8l Fibre Wrap System - £139.99
PMI 5000psi 1.1l Fibre Wrap System - £149.99
PMI 5000psi 88ci/1.5l system - £159.99

Thanks peeps.

Top one has a pressure rating of 3000psi, the rest are 5000psi. As the price is so similiar - Go for a 5000psi one. Will give you many more shots per fill so you won't have to air up as often (especially good with X-Ball).

The 0.8l/1.1l/88cu refers to the physical size of the tank, so the larger the tank the heaver it will be, but also means more shots per fill. A good middle-size is a 1.1L, so out of the 4 I'd recommend to you the PMI 5000psi 1.1l Fibre Wrap System - £149.99.

All will work on an Ion so thats not an issue.

ideally I would reccomend a 1.1ltr 4500 fibre wrap as you dont really need/will have a job getting a full fill for a 5000psi although tbf its not much difference really.

I would Go with the 5000 1.1 fibre wrap out of the above choices.
I ran a 1.1ltr 3000 on my ion and it was okay for a starter bottle and i rarely ran out of air of a full tank, although I had to re-fill between most games. The ONLY real benefit on a 3000 was that it was about £30 cheaper, but in hindsight I would have spent the extra and got a 4500 1.1ltr.

Hope that helps in some way;)
