Nitro Duck...What?????

[rob_evanson]

Right let's make this nice and simple. OK I run a Mag, I know they hate Co2 so the alternative is Air. I could buy a really expensive air system or I could go for the Air America Mellee system that works well with Mags. BUT! I have seen posts and heard about a Nitro Duck setup and was wondering what exactly it is, how much it cost's, can I get it in the UK etc,etc.

NitroDuck, alias Paintball Mania Supplies, is a decent system for a good price, but I don't know where you can get them in the UK or if you even can. Their screw in's are almost identical to the PMI Pure Energy series and are superbly reliable. Their Minireg and SS4500 systems are good, usually quite reliable, but no one seems to know how to fix them when they go down. I haven't personally encountered the MegaReg yet, but when I do I'll probably review it and write about it and you might get to read about it here.

Those are very, very good prices...suprisingly low for the UK. Heck, those are excellent prices for in the States! Go with that. You won't find many better deals than that if any on your side of the pond.

is that with or without bottle?
if with, what sizes?

Only one small problem

The only hassle with Nitro Duck tanks is that their regs are pre set to a specific psi rating, which isn't a problem on most 'mags, but if you are running an RT, or thinking of going to a retro valve for your mag then the 800psi setting on the tank may be a bit high.
Other than that they are good for the price, and feather light too.

As Cerberus said, is that the prices for the whole setup or just the reg. The £61.00 is quite a good price.

What goes into the bottle is it Air or Nitrogen, sorry to sound thick but I know you can get Nitro setups. Is Nitro Duck just a name.

I don't think for those prices a bottle is included, I may be wrong!
Give Andy at Phoenix a ring and he'll put you straight

Air and nitrogen are interchangeable. Nitrogen is sometimes the fill because it can be bought in bulk cylinders as it is a commonly used industrial gas. Compressed air is normally from, well duh, compressors and dive shops. They are functionally identical.
