I have recently bought an angel LCD and i am needing to buy an air system. I was wondering what you thought would be the best idea. Im inclined to go with the angel a.i.r. as they match each other perfectly, but i have heard good things about the armageddon.
Any thoughts?

all down to personal feelings. A I R and Armageddon are both good systems its all down to which you prefer. personally id go for geddon but only cause it has removable bottle and no electronics.

Go for the angel air mate, not just because it is the ideal system for a Angel, it looks great and has a lcd screen where u can alter ur settings.

I like my angel air, havent had any problems yet.... but the LCD screen only shows information (shots left, tank pressure and output) you cant change any settings on it...

Both systems are good as far as getting the basic job done, but I'd rate the AIR over the Arm.

The convenience of the AIR enabling you to quickly & accurately dial in the output pressure you require is its biggest plus point. In addition you have awesome support from WDP & the hoards of certified techs plus my impression of having used both systems is that the AIR is more consistent. As an extra bonus - which may or may not mean anythign to you - the dual safety standards (HSE & DOT) nature of the standard bottle means that you can legally play with the system in any country until it requires it's first retesting.

I also believe that the Armageddon has a couple of issues (I'd call them faults but they may not bother other people so much): removing the bottle from the reg whilst dialed in to a high output pressure can be quite difficult due to the air pressure resistance & tends to result in lots of aluminium shavings being scraped off the reg's threads - there is a possibility, albeit remote, that one of these shavings could be worked into the reg whilst removing/attaching the bottle; the bottle has to have part of the system glued into the bottle to ensure that it does come undone during normal usage of attaching/removing the bottle from the reg, thus you'll probably have to send the bottle away to get this part removed when you eventually need to get the bottle retested.

I vote neither and go for a MacDec Conquest :)

More consistant than either, smaller, lighter, cheaper and has integrated on/off which the single most convenient thing on the planet.

Geddon is bullet proof I'll give you, but waaay heavier than it needs to be.

AIR has the best shape, but isn't very hard wearing, way too many basic problems with the 30 or so I've used / been on teams with :)
