If you can try and have a go on one before you buy just ot make sure you like it.

a few more questions lads - sorry

How many shots can you get out of a pur energy 0.8 litre tank?

How much roughly would it cost to refill it and can you refill it a your local site?

Is the Smart Parts Ion reliable?

Thanks and sorry about all the questions

ask away bud, thats how you learn.
im assuming its a 3000psi bottle. roughly id say around 4pots.

getting ur air tank really depends. firstly you have to dinf out weather your local site can provide air for you,as some places only do co2.
if the site does provide air, the price is usually included in the price of the walk-on or day of play.
alternatively some sites ask for a 5pound fee and you get unlimited re fills.

if you go to a scuba shop,its expensive at around 2quid a fill..

so it all depends on your local site really!!


is the ion reliable?? well ive had 2, and not had a problem with any of them. if things do go wrong, its usually very cheap to fix compared to other markers such as angels.
the ion however,does not like flat batteries,so a new battery every 10-12 cases of paint is recommended.

other than that,not alot can go wrong with them

when you say 4 pots do you mean 400 paintballs?=100 a pot?

and isnt CO2 bad for your marker because i read something about it and it kinda put me off CO2...
thanks

filterd HPA (high pressure air) is the best stuff to fire, its clean so wont damage orings/internals/environmet, it can be compresssed higher pressure than CO2 and you wont get liduid at the bottom of the bottle so you also get more shotd per bottle, 4 pots = 4 * 140/150

 

[kizzyholder]

HPA thats what goes into the pure energy bottles isnt it...
How much do you think it would cost to get one refilled=0.8l pure energy bottle?

if it only shoots 600 its probably an idea to get it upgraded after a year or so when i have recooperated the money i spend although your not really gonna use up 600 paintballs in one round

Im interested in this quote. Please expand on it.

For a back player it is more than possible to get through 600 in a round I have heard of some people going through 900 or more. If you can stretch to a 68ci tank or maybe a 5000psi one that would be best. There are a few going second hand at the moment.

Most places might charge a quid or slightly more for a one of refill. But as said if you are at a walk on air is normally included in price.
