Hallo, I'm pretty new to paintballing (and totally new to air) and as I'm buying Jon O's (RT) I was wondering if anyone knew the nearest place I can get a refill? I live in Keighley, West Yorks near Bradford

thanks

Why not buy a dive tank and then the nearest fill is the boot of your car (or closer). There are some for sale on these forums as pretty reasonable prices.

Jack Daniels has one and p5curly has two for sale. Otherwise you could find someone else to play with (behave!) and borrow theirs. What sort of air system do you have/are thinking of getting? How much paint do you plan to use each game?

Jon O just wrote that it's a Maxflow, don't know the psi yet (i'll ask 1st thing tomorrow morning). I'm thinking maybe 1500 balls TOPS as I'm not super rich tbh lol. For the next few weeks I'll just be playing with friends in some woodland my dad owns as well so it's all pretty amateur.

my dad knows pretty much everyone who's into something or other, so I was kinda wondering if there are any industries (eg. car tyre filling places) that could do it for me.

tyre filling places wont go anywhere near the pressure you want, tyre pressures around 33psi, where tanks are from 3000 to 4500, so you need to go to a place that fills dive tanks, i.e. a diving shop, so you can fill your bottle from that.

Hell yeah, thats why when you get a puncture your tire goes flat instead if you see it blow off and half way down the road.

The pressure in Air tanks is very high compared to common pressures, tyres, paddling pool etc. :D

a dive shop will be able to fill dive tanks, but unless you have a fill rig i very much doubt that they will be able to fill an on gun tank for you.
you could try a gunsmiths, they might have something for filling air rifles, they use a similar fill rig i think
