scuba tanks are generally threaded for 3/4" 16 (from luxfers site) for the tank pressure that we are familiar with.

regular regs for paintball are 5/8" 18 threads and nitroduck regs actually use standard scuba sized regs so that will probably be your only option as far as tank regs go.

Excellent point, we need to get this figured out as well.

These are not actually scuba tanks and therefore could not use regular scuba valves.

This is why the tanks themselves are so expensive because they never sell them without the breathing apparatus/valve.

so these will fit regular pb regulators without issue?

alright so they are threaded to the 5/8 18 like the regs we use, id be down for one if so.

kinda high. ninja has 13 ci tank for 60 and thats with a reg. NINJA REG MOUNTED ON A 13CU 3000 PSI ALUMINUM BOTTLE.

Heebs · 01-28-2009, 10:41 PM

Yeah but its not the size of a 3.5oz tank...

woody124 · 01-28-2009, 10:57 PM

no but it just like 2 inches longer but only 2 in in diameter. plus it already has a reg. its a cool idea but not to practical

EDDAKA · 01-28-2009, 11:05 PM

Think of it this way...

When they marketed 13ci tanks for paintballers they were around the same price. However after selling probably around 200+ tanks to random paintball dealers they would be selling for like $30 or so.

Only asking because I have done group buys before, Did you consider paypal fees and shipping in the price? You could take a pretty big hit on 50 payments from paypal.

I think it's like 2.5% to the dollar, right?
That's $1.75 PP fee, then about $5. to ship. I don't really need such a small bottle, but if I was getting one through EDDAKA, I would pay him the extra.

But what is the real physical difference between these tanks and the 3.5oz co2 types? Couldn't we just use those. The regs fit, and they seem the same.
