What air bottle to buy?

[WildWayz]

Hi chaps

Does anyone have any opinions on a good air bottle to get? I don't need a regulator, just the bottle. I could have sworn there were Totem bottles in the UK, but cannot find them.
I want one with a 15 year life... and light... and safe... and Pi spec
Pref at least 1.1L but maybe 1.2L or 1.5L.

Thanks!

James

Will you ever keep any of the gear you buy for more than a week

lol - The Inspire Bottle I have, I have owned since December 2011

Ah, to be honest, unless you're buying one of the superlight offerings a bottle is a bottle is a bottle. Except if it's a steelie, in which case it becomes eligible for use in close combat as a battering ram.

Cheers..... the main problem? Can't get the reg off this bottle to put the new one on
I've tried putting it under hot water to melt the locktite but nope, won't budge..
Maybe I should just sell the Ninja Pro Reg instea?

Think Lips were the only shop that sold the Totem bottles but that was a while ago and haven't seen them listed anywhere for yonks.

The only bottles out there that are considerably lighter than standard type bottle are the Safer,Stako & Fuel Supralite

Cheers Mike!

Think I'll keep my existing bottle and re-sell on the Ninja Pro reg

I have a Fuel Supralite tank coming from BZ today so i'll give you the lowdown once it arrives

You need a Vice with soft-jaws if you are having trouble taking the reg off the bottle.
I have the above, so if your passing by my neck of the woods, let me know, and i can assist.
