Stop using CO2! Upgrade to HPA!

[777Berzerker777]

Keep it simple. Hpa is the way to go.

[StartswithASeed]

most players woods ball invest in remote line which helps tremendously with the tank freezing. also many guns have expansion chambers. Some Co2 tanks have on off aswell, alot of guns have instructions to remove direct on tank to reduce or stop o ring damage stop being biased. omg your annoying me , Co2 can be consistant on most markers, sorry if your some speed ball freak. 1 shot one kill.. you and your speed ballers 100 balls one kill.

[cptmanslotter]

@StartswithASeed OMG OMG OMG you're annoying me, just go buy HPA

[farrar229]

im swiching in a coppel of weeks

[HOGGLIFEVGL]

I'm new to this game and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about vl triad markers? I got it from my friend and the thing barely shoots the paint ball out about a foot any ideas out thier

[JKDR718]

IM SELLING A HPA TANK. PURE ENERGY 68/4500

STILL HAS 3 YEARS LEFT

95 SHIPPED :)

[DaShinigamikun]

@JKDR718 Do I need to change the tank every 5 years?

[username17398]

I've here'd on carbon fiber tanks u need to get a like cover because they get all schracted up is this true.

[AmethystKT]

@username17398 Yes. You don't want to sink $160 in a tank only to scratch it.

[MrB4d4TtH1S]

@kaanman100 no not at all

[kaanman100]

I am a bigginer and this is a stupid question, at the fuling station can you fill the HPA tank at the same station where you fill the Co2 tank, are they both the same to fill?

[MegaShadow007]

Yes u can use HPA for any paintball gun

[VoidPB]

I stoped using Co2 when I had a Co2 leak all over me...i now have a chunk of frozen skin on my arm

[JuMpInGmuffin93]

can any paintball gun use HPA

[GamingProfits]

XD this guy is soooooooo ignorant !!!!!!!!! XD made me laugh!

[funnybee98]

mike im getting super worried my hpa tank sounds like air is escaping it and i cant find out why im new to this and i need help there is an oring at the top (not on the nipple). should i put an o-ring on the nipple or not PLEASE MIKE HELP PLEASE IM GETTING SUPER WORRIED BEACUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS LEAKING AND U YOURSLEF SAID IT COULD EXPLODE !!!!!!!!! PLEASE MIKE PLEASE

[mrrfunnyguy11]

@funnybee98 next time you go to your field ask. something like that was happening to me and i asked and they replaced every o-ring to make it work. :)

[bkslayerz]

hey, im starting to get into paintball, and i was wondering if there is anywere to get a hpa tank filled, not playing at fields for a while just gonna play at a friends house with a bunch of people. Can somebody tell me were i can get a hpa tank filled at.

[LiMbO123876]

@bkslayerz Just go to a paintball shop

[MrNezic]

Funny, I went from PaintBall to Airsoft, Got real bored with both, and Got a Sig Saur.

[soladetenis]

how much is it to fill a HPA ?

[paintballandairsofta]

@soladetenis free at most places

[trepoundss]

@WeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeMAN go with a 48/4500 or a 50/4500

[iLivenAmurica]

wat size hpa tank would a tippmann need?

[coolit092]

might sound like a stupid question, but would one have to modify anything on a bt-4 combat in order to switch to HPA or is it compatible with both CO2 and HPA out of the box?

[paintball381]

so if i leve a c02 wank in the sun itll fill itsself up??

[Edipo48]

Mike, I'm buying my tank soon, what would you recommend which one is a better brand for my nitrogen tank (Guerrilla, Empire, Ninja etc.) Thanks!

[UnrealGoalie]

@Edipo48 ninja.

[mattdapaintballer5]

this is a beautiful piece of shit tank lol

[iLivenAmurica]

I use an tippy a5 w/ co2...is it worth upgrading to HPA if I'm just a weekend worrior?

[TheGilbert490]

if by any chance u get oil on ur fill nipple is the any way u could wipe it off and be ok and the only thing stoping me from going to HPA is i dont kno how many places fill HPA tanks are they easier to come by then co2 please reply

[WeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeMAN]

ive got an invert mini with halo b VR35 board and just an average £30, 3000 psi 48cu air tank but tbh its really quite heavy on the field and i really would like to know what air tank is recomended im about 5ft6 and i want something alot lighter if possible any recomendations thankyou

[anikidwolfy]

@WeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeMAN either get a remote or get a fiberglass bottle

[DMerk2012]

Is HPA the same as compressed air?

[lcmpclan2359]

@DMerk2012 Yes



[AAVince2513]

@DMerk2012 hpa is short for high pressure air

[knifekid666]

i just got my first tank today and i went with HPA... i didnt know any of this stuff, it's just at my feild fills HPA tanks free when you buy balls :D

[DeFransWorld]

if yu put CO2 in a g3 it will catch fire

[SimonSJRS]

At 2:20 he's talking bout blowing o-rings from unscrewing a Co2 tank all the way straight off. That's the wrong way to do it. If you unscrew the tank 3/4 of a turn, fire off until you hear a sound similar to the tank running out of Co2 except doesn't last as long. This means that the any excess Co2 has been expelled, then you can fully take the tank off and you wont be ruining your o-rings.

[knifekid666]

@SimonSJRS but new players (who would be most of the people with CO2 tanks) would not know to do that

[pietervanderbom5]

hpa can kill you

[levi666100]

im all for HPA but you are way to biased towards HPA. I live and play in the northwest and use both co2 and HPA and never had a problem with co2 ruining my O-rings every time I removed it from my gun. Stop being so hateful towards stuff you dont like and give a honest review o and i loved the first strike viedo

[PaintballingFrEaKs]

All mikes saying is CO2 sucks.

[NinjaAssasinsPB]

i love his 2008 videos

[EnglandShatOnGermany]

*refillers

[EnglandShatOnGermany]

I'm guessing nowadays at fields they mostly have refiners for compressed air?

[PaintballKing78]

Can you fill a 4500psi tank with 3000 psi?

[5foot1paintballer]

@PaintballKing78 yes

[MrCodyhall13]

im convinced im so buying me a hpa tank for my spyder advancer

[shaokem]

"Sandblasting your balls with ice" HAHAHA! that line was so full of WIN! 

[nerfxmodsxftw]

55 people haven't upgraded yet.

[LOLKINGBABY]

why dont u give me that piece of shit hpa tank??

[ariskk88]

@MrHeavygamer CO2 caught on fire? That doesn't sound impossible at all.

[WhooliganK]

@ariskk88 Co2 is what firemen put fires out with. Duh.

[momoxsparco]

@WhooliganK So.....i guess the moral of this is s follows: If you support your local firemen use co2, if you don't use hpa?Baaaahahah just kiddi

ng.

[WhooliganK]

@momoxsparco I really like the idea of using compressed air.



[Lulsaints]

I almost cringed when he started screwing the co2 tank into the gun.

[ThesmashNbash]

can fill an hpa tank without a diving tank



[gotwaldorzo]

i like when my barrel gets frost on it so i can feel it if i get hot hpa cant do that can they

[idevourlemons52]

@gotwaldorzo No, but you're retarded for paying for CO2 every fill when HPA is free and that cold air wears your gun out a shit load faster and is extremely inconsistent.

[tripp169]

@idevourlemons52 hpa costs money lol

[idevourlemons52]

@tripp169 Not at any field I've ever played at

[tripp169]

@idevourlemons52 co2 and hpa is free at local feilds around me but they both cost to fill at shops is what i meant

[idevourlemons52]

@tripp169 Ha that sucks, the only place to fill em here is fields, so I've never paid for it

[darthmath2]

@tripp169 I got a new fiber glass tank. but I never owned a hpa tank before. Is it ready for play? or do i need to adjust? I am sorry. I am kinda new to this high pressure stuff, so please excuse my lack on intellect in this area.

[tripp169]

@darthmath2 go to a paintball shop get it filled up and your good to go

[deflatable11]

does a tippmann project salvo/sierra one work with hpa if i have a responce trgger?

[PS3sacker]

@deflatable11 yep

[bababooey2700]

thumbs up if you didnt start with a co2 tank

[tripp169]

where and what is a o ring im new to paintball lol

[Justintapout]

How and were do you fill a hpa tank?

[halofreak703]

I bought a C02 tank a while ago. i like it! except that it costs money to fill. and im buying an hpa tank, what brand would you suggest? I have a bt delta (not elite) and normally shoot about 5-15 bps

[SuperXMysterYe]

@halofreak703 get a ninja

[gunfuego]

@halofreak703 pure energy is ok but dye, or smart parts is better

[gunfuego]

I've only ruined 6 o-rings with hpa and co2 in over 11 years in paintball. I call bull shit on you tech pb ....

[mario11168]

@gunfuego lololololol wut? I don't even know how to respond to that idiocy of a comment

[gunfuego]

@mario11168 wtf? Let me put this in simple terms ...... In my years 11 of experience in paintball I've never heard about needing to change a tank O-ring every time from breaking. If you need to change an O-ring every time you remove your tank you need to unscrew it faster so the air can bleed out quicker, or get an on/off asa, because those on/off valves built into some tank valves are garbage ...

[mario11168]

@gunfuego You must only play paintball a few times a year. If you play say every weekend or every other weekend, changing tanks a lot, o-rings get used quicker than condoms on whores.

[gunfuego]

@mario11168 nope, I use buna o-rings they're better than urethane, then after about ten to twenty tank changes; depending on the wear on the o-ring, I then use some dow 33 so they don't swell like dow 55 would. I also have an on off asa on both of my guns and I have a remote I use some times all of which helps....

[xXhunter47Xx]

Also, C02 is usually more expensive to fill at fields.

[chris55268]

@TheThugaz98 dude i got a valken sw1 just a different shell of a bt 4. buy a new hopper first and a hpa tank first then save all your cash for any gun thats 300$ plus and i promise you will go far in the sport

[chris55268]

@TheThugaz98 a new gun

[Helooed]

@paintballtechpb well i have a question. You know that there are several cases where the HPA tanks exploded because of oil getting into the nipple. Well doesn't that only happen with HPA and not CO2? Please answer because i am kind off scared that when im playing my whole tank will blow up and i will get 3rd degree burns on my arms.

[97goalkeeper]

I switched when my tippman with Co2 went full auto idk how but I really felt bad for the kid I hit. Its a tippman project salvo by the way and its single fire

[TheDeviousSniper]

HPA also sounds cooler as well, there's more of a snap to it..

[denzely10]

can u use an hpa tank on a co2 paintball gun??

[TheDeviousSniper]

@denzely10 yes %100, just make sure the threads from both tanks match

[mehelloYO]

@denzely10 all guns can use HPA. but not all can use co2

[DaJewBurna]

Where would I find hpa tanks ? And does diehard fill them.?

[mazpr2025]

Paintball is almost dead in our town, the closest HPA fill station is around an hour away near the beach ( a scuba shop). They know and charge an arm and a leg to get them filled again.

[elmo21goccer]

i damaged one of my threads on my hpa tank is it still safe to shoot? thanks

[horndoghorton]

What is the gun he screws the c02 tank into?

[fanpingu2]

but the hps is it not dangerous

[Murderdollsarecool]

@fanpingu2 thats what i was thinking like i was gonna buy a ninja 3000psi hpa tank but it looks to intense

[onlygodknows7]

i didnt know when you press the arrow buttons (up and down) it turns up or down the volume :O

[gunxperp]

Ya I'm from Canada and in the winter it's fucking cold and with co2 u get like 3 shoots from the take

[anthonylebmx]

when he said sand blasting your balls with ice i knew he was gonna say " which would really hurt" ahahaha

[KiriouSs]

im a beginner.. should i actually buy the hpa one ??

[pabz1995]

@KiriouSs yes, if possible save yourself some money in the long-run and buy a HPA tank :)

[EjvindDark]

Just to give you the equations for the pressure for the basic physics - P=VT

P = Pressure

V = Volume

T = Temperature

[joebeanwhite]

I USE 68ci FUCK 50

[youspic]

Up here in Canada we all end up using HPA, co2 is just too unreliable in different weather! LISTEN TO MIKE!

Free Healthcare ftw!

[zUnseen]

i am upgrading to an empire axe soon and wanted to know either to get a low pressure output like the manual suggests or stay with my high pressure output tank like everyone else tells me too????

[superpeep12]

ya but filling compressed air is a bitch cuz you need a scuba tank

[pabz1995]

@superpeep12 you can fill it at your local field, fields usually have free HPA refills included with admission... scuba tanks are only if you wanna fill it yourself at your house

[CreepshowChris]

Damn.. I just upgraded my Spyder Esprit ( old, i know) with an expansion chamber... i couldnt use an HPA tank on that huh?

[Mattthewf4]

@orangon its ok

[jaydenimages]

i tried to switch to an hpa tank put my gun is old and it did not work right. it went off like it was a full auto gun

[Mattthewf4]

@orangon What the hell

[Rudolfusgaming]

A good tank is a ninja 50ci or 68ci it cost only 50$ and it depends how tall you are

[EliteSnakes]

Whats a good HPA tank for a beginner thats going to use the Azodin Kaos. Im not looking to spend alot for my first tank im just looking for a tank that will save me $ over a co2 tank. i also want it to last for a little bit i dont want some piece of crap id rather spend the extra $ for something that will last me. like i said im a beginner so i just need something that will get me started.

[sniperkid1357]

would co2 be good for a begginer player because i plan on buying a tpn tango one but i dont have the money to buy a hpa tank

[Bigmac11510]

Hey when you run out of air in your HPA tank, is there a way you can refil it at the fields? I am new to paintball and want to see if this would be worth my money. Also is the spyder electra a decent gun? Thanks.

[loopymoofart]

@Bigmac11510 ya

[JKakaNewKevin]

is any type of adapter needed to put an hpa tank on a piranha Gti

[Laughinggas24]

but Hpa is atoo expenisve

i need a 68



[PointPeleerider05]

@meridianbikecrew yes hpa is just the air we breath that surrounds us its just highly pressurized

[airfreeks]

Shove compressed air up you Ass!!!!

[115xxxCeReAlKi11eRxx]

Hpa on a mini?

[MrHOLLYBALLS123]

Can I use a HPA tank on one of my cheap tippmanns?

[MassiveFrostbite]

[Aw5omo3000]

FLORIDA FTW!!!! :)

[ThePaintman23]

[zeplinpower54]

hoq do you fill up the hpa

[Her0Clan]

@paintballtechpb ive look many places but i cant find a PMI Pure Energy 48/3000 tank for around 50$ any sugestions?

[TheDarthvadorzz]

@Her0Clan

I just bought a 48/3000 HPA PMI aluminum tank at ANSgear for $37.95. Great buy, just waiting for it in the mail lol

[TheZack01065]

Is the hpa re-fillable

[mario11168]

@TheZack01065 Obviously...

[Vilacious34]

@TheZack01065 Uhhhh yeah it has a "fill" nipple....

[TheZack01065]

Do u know what gun to get

[Destro910]

im going too buy my first paintball gun, iv been paintballing a lot but nvr owned a gun, should i start with hpa

[tanma87]

they should make hpa 12 grams for pistols and stock class

[mousefire97]

i bought a VL Orion from the good will and i had to replace the o-rings and rearrange the parts and it fires great with Co2 but will the gun take compressed air??

[riejuroks1]

@mousefire97 yeah the orion takes co2 or hpa

[mousefire97]

@riejuroks1 thanks!

[juliankirkh]

@mousefire97 your welcome...

[mousefire97]

@riejuroks1 OH do i need to do any upgrades on it or can i just put it right on??

[riejuroks1]

@mousefire97 no upgrades just screw the tank on and fire away!

[woodsballpaintballer]

HPA all the way but for paintball pistols why not just make them for HPA it's way cleaner

[notsuferatu]

@meridianbikecrew yup

high pressure air

just like the one u breathe

[ariggs93]

Where can I get an hpa tank for $50...?

[xXhunter47Xx]

@ariggs93 Check out your local paintball stores.... I'm in San Diego and Velocity paintball sells a 48/3000 PSI for $55. It's not a bad deal. The brand was Pure Energy.

[sportsguy1728]

ya but ur bald

[PotatoMasher1234]

left mine out in the sun yesterday, blew a burst disk :(

[manof30]

I still use CO2 just because 1)HPA is too highly pressurized for my gun and 2) there is nowhere to fill HPA near where I play (private land so...) and 3) I am still saving up to buy an HPA tank

[AzOdInxxBliTzz806]

do u think it would be beter to start out with a cheap 50$ HPA tank or save up for a ninja cause im 16 and i got a job so im definetly guna get one of them

[TheMusic1800]

still gonna use co2

[ajmonster1]

this was helpful



[TheEpicfury21]

we had a c02 tank explode where we play and made a huge dent in the building and almost hit thius lady

[TeamC00L]

Is it worth switching to the 4500psi tanks from the 3000psi?

[struttels]

can co2 and hpa use the same adapter

[hunterdue1]

good video... but where could i get hpa tanks filled since i dont live near any big playing fields? would academy fill them up?

[xHyperVoid]

Co2 Ruined the internals of my gun :(

[codysr0388]

anyone know how much more paint a 68/4500 tank will shoot than a 20oz tank?

[colinrox13]

is bt good to use with c02 like tippman and spider?

[noahwic1]

I have a tippmann carver1 what is the best kind of tank to use

[ImmortalZombie6669]

where would i be able to fill up a HPA tank? i dont want to mess up my new gun using CO2 though!

[noobsunited36]

i heard that hpa 1. cost more and 2. isn't that good i think ill stick with co2 thumbs up if u agree

[Tysl2417]

@noobsunited36 Your a dumbass then. Sorry either you own a tippmann or a spyder or your a complete idiot.

[noobsunited36]

@noobsunited36

it's my thought i'll you use what i'll use and you use what you use

[manof30]

@noobsunited36 Hpa is 50 times cheaper and is more consistent than co2

[smoke14PB]

@noobsunited36 Hpa only costs more initially... that's when you buy the tank inteslf, which is usually about $100 more than a c02 tank if you're looking at 4500 psi. However, hpa is usually free to fill up at fields, while co2 costs $10 or so to fill.

[MultiMyspace1]

Is 3000 psi tank still good?

[TheRcworld101]

hey whats up I'm going to be either buying the spyder electra with hpa or the kit with co2 i wanna know which of the two i could get and if i get the hpa kit where i can refile it please help thanks.

[blueday22]

dude i live in the uk and the hpa are like 300 pound so that will be something like 485 dollars thats why we use co2 to start with but im saving up to get a hpa tank thanks for the videos they are usefull and good thanks

[mattchappy]

Ok im a new player and im on a budget, what size HPA would be good for me? Im thinking about buying a HPA Tank off of Ebay because they are alot cheaper, But anyway, im saving my money for an Invert Mini, how much does HPA cost to get refilled also? I want the most out of my HPA Tank but i dont want to spend 150.
