I had the same problem- fill nipple leaked. Now I use a Crossfire and it is very nice. Still, with Planet's famous service, I am sure it will work out if you have problems.

im buying new, and the 1.1 and 1.5 are the same price, so wanted to know what to get to use with an eblade cocker

a fair bit! im thinking that the 1.1 will be fine, the one im going to go for is the 5000psi, so i will get a better fill (ie nearer 4500psi) and planet rate the pro+ cocker as having approx 1750 shots off a 1.1l 4500psi setup so im thinking i will get like 2000 shots.

please feel free to correct me if this is a load of rubbish, im just applying my own science to the equation!

How do you go wrong with a bigger tank and smaller price? ;) :D
No offence but I find that properly weird..! ;)

The size of bottle you want is a trade off between the size and weight of the bottle, and the number of shots you need, and this in turn is usually dictated by the position you play, and a little bit of personal preference

Are you up front with your nose in the dirt, scooching behind tiny bunkers? Get a little bottle - it makes your gun lighter - better on the break - and more manoevrable in tight spots.

Or are you a lardy back man, stood up all the time, who watches other people running and is glad he doesn't have to :p - but needs to shoot cases of paint in a game - get a 1.5.

1.1's are fine for most people - i've got a 0.8 baby bottle because I like how light and tiny it is (though I might have to change it now it's going on my Ion ;)) but you might choose to go smaller for weight savings, but loose out on number of shots - or go bigger for more shots but have it feel like a dive tank on the back of your gat.

Also, you need to make sure that the thing fits your arm in a Dynasty-Dysected stylee

Andyp1, I don't follow your maths but I have a sneaking suspicion that it's based on getting a 5000 fill rather than a 4500 - if so, that's not going to happen because you won't (for the forseeeable future, any way) get a 5000 fill. 4500 is the max at the moment mate. Obviously you want to treat manufacturers figures with scepticism, but even so, that's good going with the pro+ cocker: -200 in the hopper leaves 1550/140 = 11 pods. I go out with 4. 11 would give me back ache, and I'd be walking to the fifty instead of running.

Actually I'd probably be walking to the dead box - like usual... ;)
