Whats the Lightest Air system Around?

[FUBAR]

This is really 2 questions in 1, whats the lightest 4500psi reg, preset or adjustable, and what is the lightest bottle that you can buy to CE standards? (lets say 68cu) combining the 2 would obviously make the lightest air system.

And does the light weight sacrifice performance? is it worth going for a heavier one that is better? or does this not have any affect at all?.

(I think thats 4 questions)

i would guess

that a preset like worrgas would be lightest (quite small) and most bottles (new ce bottles) weigh the same.

all bottles are gonna be about the same...give or take a few grammes due to the fact they are made to pass the same safety test etc

regs....worrgas looks damn small and so does the macdev conquest....not sure how heavy they both are but there cant be much in it

That was easy

I was looking at getting one of them soon anyway. Cool

Rabies has a macdev - they rock. But ask him, cos I think he got one shipped half way round the world (literally) in a weekend...

yeah they are based in oz i think
but im pritty sure that i heard somewhere that if you buy direct from them they only sell them with dot bottles and wont sell the reg separate for some reason

They will be selling them reg only in about 2 weeks, with PI/CE bottles in 3-4 weeks.

Tried ordering from 6E but they never reply to emails or return calls

Best to order direct, they ship from Oz...

 

[jahlad]

dont suppose you got a price without a bottle? might concider swapping my a.i.r over to one if they are sencible price

Here is the info I was emailed a week or so ago...

"Due to these DOT/HSE/PI problems, we will soon be offering PI bottles (for
most of europe) and regs by themselves as well. However this service will
not be available for a few weeks. Can you use PI bottles (like in France)?
The reg by itself will be $230 and shipping to the UK is about $25."

Prices are USD, I have pre-ordered so will have one as soon as they are available...
