Cool Centerflag or Nitroduck

I am looking at them both and which do you feel is better? Oh and how do you know if a nitroduck is lp?

Thanks

I picked up a guerilla air tank, they come in both hp and lp. Might want to check them out too in case you haven't.

I'd say Centerflag. I got my LP 420 used and was able to rebuild the reg myself. When I was ordering new seals I asked about LP-HP conversion. They threw a HP spring in for free so now I can switch back and forth.

I personally use a crossfire tank, but if I had to choose.... it would definitely be Centerflag over a nitroduck any day.

Id take a nitroduck tank over anything. They use luxfer bottles and I like a brass threaded portion for the sake of friction and wear.

Centerflag makes a decent product, but nitroduck HP fixed output 45/45 is my favorite tank. Or a conquest.

I use a crossfire but would recommend the centerflag over the nitroduck as well. I have seen a few things from nitroduck I really don't like. With some of the nitroduck adjustable regs the way the reg is assembled it the pieces don't fit together all that tight and thus a lot of the tanks still wobble a bit when on the gun.

over this summer/early fall a player at a local tourney had his nitroduck reg come apart during a game. His impact with the ground is what broke the reg but no matter what the cause it still turned into a bottle rocket and that always leaves a lasting impression with me. I can't say a centerflag wouldn't have done the same so I can't be sure that they are more durable with out it being questionable.

also recommend staying away from ACI regged tanks and angel air. If refresh rate is a big concern check at AO or in the mags section. Emags will help you spot a slow reg really easy.
