When you look into it, the life-extension process pioneered by Digital Wave is actually VERY cool when you look into it. The Navy asked them to explore ways to extend the life of their GIANT fleet of carbon fiber tanks, so they worked with he DOT (who makes the laws around air tanks) and developed a brand new way to extend the life of the tank by doing more extensive testing than is done in the first 15 years of life. This allows them to ensure the safety of the tanks for another 15 years. VERY interesting, and awesome opportunity for PCP users looking for a less expensive way to get a tank, but there are some things to be aware of. The tank still has to be tested every 5 years, but ONLY DigitalWave can do that testing on these Live Extended tanks. Be sure to read the tank after you buy for info. ALSO, you may need to bring the DOT documents that allow LE tanks to get it filled. Comes with everything you need to fill the gun (BUT not everything you will need, please see below.)

As mentioned above, this tank comes with everything you need to fill the gun, but according to my local firehouse, it does NOT come with everything you need to fill the tank itself (At least from their system.) Local dive shop also said they would likely need an adaptor to fill from their system but did not have a chance to look at it to make sure, and I would assume the same would be true if I owned a compressor myself. I'm sure this is something an experienced PCP user would know, but I, as a first-time Tank buyer, did not realize. I ended up having to get the Air Venturi "firehouse" male SCBA adapter. Wish this had come as an optional package, or at least mentioned somewhere in the ad that an adapter to fill the tank may be something to think about.

This tank (mine at least) was life extended in 2017. I purchased it in 2021, which means I have 1ish year of use before I need to send it back to Digital Wave for re-testing. This is an inexpensive process but is something the potential purchaser should be aware of. If you buy a new tank you will still need to get it tested every 5 years, but you don't have to send it to the same company and might be able to get a new tank tested locally instead of paying for shipping.

Few dings on it and DOM 2002 was certified 10/17..which will give me 3 years of use paid too much money I think
