45/45 Tank

[Didzs]

Hi guys!

Am looking for a 45/45 tank here in the UK with a decent regulator CP or the like. Which shops sell 45/45s i cant find a shop that does.



Edit.
Just found a site but they are pricey... maybe its just worth getting at 68/45 in that case.

was looking for a 45/45 for a short setup. you think a 45/45 is enough for a game or two on an Etek2? "dont want to be filling after every game"

Cheers

The fourth one down is what you are looking for. Pure energy regs are as good as any.

Thanks mate!

so why is the Throttle so cheap in comparison???
i could just go with a 68ci dye tank....

 

[SAMUEL.D.RYAN]

Dunno, guess it's just difference in profit margins across dye's range...

You could ring up LIPS using the number on the website and see if they have any (or can get any) 45ci throttles in...

Thanks again!

Now im wondering. if i buy a 45/45 and there is only 3000psi air at the field
isnt that very few shots per fill?(on an etek... 400?)

does anybody have a length comparison between the Pure energy 45/45 and the 68/45?

 

[SAMUEL.D.RYAN]

Err, an etek is one of the more efficient models on the market, you'll definitely get more shots than 400. I'd say you'd comfortably get 4 pods and a hopper off a 45/3k fill.

I can't comment on the difference in length, there was a good pic showing a vast range of tank sizes lined up next to each other but after 15 mins searching I can't find it...

Got both a 68/45 and 45/45 which I've just measured

The difference in length (including reg) is about 1" shorter for 45/45

The 45/45 is also a few ounces lighter

Thanks!

Think ill be going with the 45/45
