13ci 3000psi Ninja Paintball N2 Tank

Mirad · 03-13-2011, 12:34 PM

I'm looking to pick-up one of these and I've read good things about them.

Which what is the difference between getting a Brass or Aluminum bonnet. Pros/cons plz.

Do we have a dealer here on the forums for them?

Brass bonnets are better if you have a gun that doesn't have an on/off and you need to screw the tank in under pressure.

I am a dealer, I will say go brass

Ayt. Bummers Benoit, your up in Canada. Shipping is going to be $$ :S

I was hoping to a get a bnib one for a better deal than what I found. The going price is about $59.95 + $10 for shipping.

Is this tank exempt from hydrotesting? I thought they were since they pass the 2 by 2 rule with flying colors. However, I noticed the ads for these say 5 year hydro. :S

I haven't had to deal with it yet, but after 5 years you may have to educate the field or store or wherever you get the tank filled. Also, fields can refuse to fill a tank for whatever reason. Just FYI.

It would be nice if they were immune, but $20-$25 every 5 years isn't too bad.

Hmm, I'll check mine quick... well it has the date of birth but my 68/45 just shows date of birth too. Pretty sure it shouldn't need hydro, though.

I got a brass one on my custom tank (68/4500) for my 'Mag, I believe the aluminum are somehow more fragile..

From Ninja: "NOTE: Care must be taken when using an aluminum bonnet to prevent thread gauling with the markers ASA. Use a lubricant (Vaseline or DOW 33) on NINJA REG threads. Do not force the bonnet into the ASA. Install and remove the NINJA REG slowly from your markers ASA."

13's and 22's require no hydro

I got brass. Still not as nice as chromoly or stainless, but better than aluminum. And yes they do dent if you drop the tank onto the threads from 3 feet off the ground onto carpet.

Where did you read that?
My understanding of the DOT's 2" rule is that the exemption applied only to CO2 tanks.
