This thing fills my gun up a LOT faster than a pump. It small, lightweight, and I get several fills before it drops to 3000psi.

The bleed valve is a little bulky.

My local paintball shop fills this up, but despite the labeling on their output, it never gets more than 4100psi or so. Other people might have trouble finding a shop that can fill it all the way. Still get a lot of gun fills from 4100psi.

Love the small size and light weight. This can fit in any back pack. Can give multiple FULL fills when tanks at 4500psi. love it.

The large bleeding block is a little bulky and i always find myself fighting with it. Always snags on something in the back pack when hunting.

Only works great when filled to 4500. 300psi fills don't last long.

Small enough to carry around in the Crosman backpack that came with the Doomsday Bug Out Kit. There's actually enough room in that backpack for another one of these tanks, so I might be buying another one in the future.

The price. I think it could be lower.

I haven't been able to find anyone who can fill this to 4500 psi, so I can't tell you how many refills it will provide for my Marauder from 1500 psi to 2500 psi.

Lightweight, easily transportable, relatively inexpensive way to fill your pcp airgun, a must if your gun requires higher psi over a handpump.

I have two of these tank set ups. Ninja made this set up a short time ago and I first bought that one. Same rig (Ninja makes this for Air Venturi) but bleeder valve at other end of line allowed for hose to flex close to the tank making it easier to fit in a backpack. Not sure why the changed that. Same thing you'd get with the Benjamin rig for a hundred bucks less.

Portability

Valves

I am returning my second set. Both have defective valves. The first one died on the first use and the second one suffered an "infant mortality", it lost 1200 psi over the course of several days siting in the box, before the first use. Maybe this is part of a bad lot or just a bad design. Best regards

An excellent backup of power for hunting or short outdoor trips. Light weight and backpack friendly. I use it to fill my Benjamin Marauder when it gets down to about 2200 PSI, haven't had a chance to fully see how many times I can fill it up yet but from the times I have used it, you should get about 10 fills from 2200 PSI to 2900 PSI. This will of course depend on how far down you shoot your gun also! I had it filled to 4500 PSI and as cooled down it dropped to about 4200.

Do Not ever leave these tanks filled to 4500 PSI and leave them in a hot car were the sun can shine on them, (or anytime for that matter) they could over heat and expand the air adding another 500 PSI or more. Also make sure you use a cover to protect the tank. Also be sure you check around and see if you can find a place to fill this tank to 4500 PSI before you buy it. I plan on getting a 88 cubic foot tank soon, so I can fill the bigger tank to 4500 and then use it to fill this 90 CU IN tank for portability.

I do not have easy access to a HPA pumping station, and refilling the Marauder can get to be a chore with the hand pump. This tank is configured to allow refilling it with the Hill or Benjamin pump and then I can refill the Marauder from this tank. I found that it takes about 1600 pumps from the Hill pump to fill the tank to 3000 psi (gauge on Hill pump). This gives about 8 refills of the Marauder from 2000 to 2500 psi. Refilling the tank with the Hill pump from 2500 psi to 3200 psi takes about 500 pumps (I do 30 and then wait 5 minutes while watching TV pumping at each commercial break). Taking the pressure up to 3200 psi provides for 11 refills as described above. It is a real treat to be able to separate the pumping from the shooting.

Sell the tank with a padded carrier that protects the tank and provides for carrying the rifle filler mechanism. Live some place close to a HPA fill station.

I am very glad that I got the cloth handle for carrying the tank. Even though I do not actually carry the tank with the handle, it protects the tank from contact with hard surfaces. I actually keep the tank, rifle filler and my notes in a shoe box.

Size,weight,color

Nothing

No

Light weight !! Compact and idiot proof in using it. being regulated to 3k output ( Testing showed actually 2850# BTW )perfect for those PCP's with 200bar fill ratings. Gauge on regulator shows what pressure is in tank ( Sadly no gauge for Output side )

An OUTPUT gauge as well for filling lower pressure guns or those with a sweet spot pressure if under 2850#. More compact bleed off valve ( It's bulky and really fill assembly needs to be removed from bottle for carrying ) Ninja should provide a foam carry bra being 90cu in bottles are bigger that paintball markers use and no stretched on aftermarket bra fits very well.

For 3 bills a REALLY EXCELLENT product that allows taking air into the field with minimal bulk and weight. Changing the fittings and hose configuration on filler easy enough too do. So while a "Change" ... by no means a deal breaker !
