Sup guys

How could I tell for sure wether some thing is a HP or LP output reg on a bottle, as I am after a HP reg for my Ion and a seller needs to know how to tell the difference for me

Cheers in advance

the bottle is a 1.5ltr 4500 PSI evil air, not sure what the PSI output pressure is, as I think its a PMI product i was going on the assumtion thats it a preset 800-900 PSI. If some one could confirm this it would be awsome

Cheers

Most likely its high pressure then - if its red regulator on PMI bottle i would be pretty certain its high pressure though cant be certain as some are converted to low pressure though I doubt it as the spring packs are incredible hard to get hold of!

So I would say you can be 95% sure it will be high pressure!

Dan is right, the ion will work fine with a HP or LP bottle reg, as the inline reg on the ion will drop it down to the correct operating pressure.

As i remember, a blue bottle reg is LP, and a red one is HP?

From what I have heard ION's work a lot better with a HP bottle because they have higher recharge rates or some thing along those lines
