Noobie in need of some answers

[Janz19]

Still a noob to this sport, so I have but a few questions.
1st: What the difference between a low pressure N2 tank and a high pressure N2 tank.
- I want to buy an N2 tank for my LCD, but I'm not quite sure as to which tank to buy.
2nd: Which N2 tank out there is best for someone with a low budget?
Thanks people, I greatly appreciate your help.

This prolly would be easier to explain over AOL but since you are not online, I will post.

The difference between a LP N2 and a HP N2 it the pressure the tank outputs. Most tanks are preset meaning that they put out a set pressure. LP tanks output 300-400 psi, and HP tanks output 800-900.

There is also such thing as an adjustable tanks, meaning that you can adjust the pressure that the tank outputs.

The numbers for tank kinda look like this: 45/68 HP or 45/45 LP or something.

The first # is the pressure that the tank is filled to (4,500psi [3000, 4500 or 5000 tanks out]) then the tank size (common sizes are 45ci, 68ci, etc. the tank size [the larger the size the longer it will last]) and then either LP, HP, or adjustable. Sometimes they list how much pressure the preset regulator puts out. (ex 800psi).

A LCD wants a fairly high input pressure (depending on your gun setup) and the manual recommends 800-900psi. If you bought (for example) a pure energy 45/45 HP tank it would run mint. The tank size is personal preference. I prefer the 45ci tanks myself since they are smaller and I would never run out during a game anyways (I would be out of paint first).

A steel tank is cheaper than a composite one. It'll work just as well as any HP tank. They only come in 3000psi versions but that's fine for most players.

I noticed that there two types of crossfire tanks, the one with a red strip on the reg and the blue one. Which one would be best for my LCD? I'm looking into getting the 45/4500.

For your LCD you want the one with the red strip, that is a HP tank with a 800 psi out put, the blue is a LP tank with an out put of 400 or 450 psi.
