    HPA Tanks

    Does anyone know where one could get a 18cu.in. or slightly larger HPA tank with an adjustable type regulator in Canada?

    My local paintball place has 4 or 5 sizes on the shelf. Might be worth a look.

    AFAIK, none of the paintball style tanks have adjustable regulators.... they all need disassembly and spring/shim changes to change the setpoint....

    You are correct Bob. I have an arsenal of PB tanks....mostly carbon fiber 50's and 68's. I am looking for a more local supplier of the 22ci with 2'' diameter. My thoughts are just start with the ninja 13ci and make my stuff fit, then make the plunge later and order the 22ci from down south. If my math is correct the 13ci volume is larger than my current HPA conversion tube. I have decided to set the idea of a new high priced airgun purchase aside and put the same amount of money into another QB78D HPA regulated(tank) custom setup. If this produces a setup like I am thinking it will then turn my attention to the at44 with the same regulated setup using a 22ci tank instead of the unregulated tube. There is no fun in leaving stuff alone!

    You and I both...

    I was going to order one from JDS Airman, but read somewhere that charges $68 for shipping? ...That's over half the cost of the bottle itself!

    Bob....
    That's interesting info. My reg has the coil spring and I reduced the output from 2000 to 1500.

    The Belleville washers are 5/16" ID x 5/8" OD x 0.032" thick.... They are used in all the Ninja regulators intended for 1000 psi and up, and there are also flat shims to fine tune them.... The regs with the coil spring are the "paintball" version.... They come at 850 psi and you can reduce that by removing flat shims (about 150 psi drop per thick shim).... The regs all share the same body, and you can convert the coil spring version to higher pressures by changing the spring for a Belleville stack.... The standard stack is )) () () () () (( .... Sometimes the end washers are thinner (0.022"), or there is only one on one end.... I have a chart giving approximate shimming for different pressures.... The shims go on the end nearest the air inlet (tank end) of the spring / belleville stack....

    I should request a quote to see. They are located in Florida I understand? I thought Eric had 22ci tanks on his list once but not there anymore.
