I'm a noob putting together an air system. I'm based in Nanaimo and looking for a new/used tank and regulator (preferably adjustable). What are the (dis)advantages between Co2, N2 and HPA? Is there a vast difference in cost/refill/weight/capacity? wacko.gif

I am going to lock this one and suggest that you go here to answer: http://www.islandpaintball.ca/index.php?sh...amp;#entry81299

One thread per topic seems to work better then multiple versions of the same question... forum just gets to cluttered otherwise.

If you are new enough to not be sure of the differences between CO2 and HPA I would strongly suggest that you not be messing with your tank regulator output on your own just yet. Make sure you get someone who knows how and has done it safely before to give you a hand with it, a tank reg blowing apart on you can seriously ruin your day.

I believe SouthPark posted a link in your other thread which goes through some of the details of the gas debate, he's generally got the best publicly accessible links you'll find on any given tech topic so it'd be worth taking the time to read through it if you're interested in the topic.
