The tank mate basicly is for then you get you tank filled, it shows you the temp of you tank after they fill it. That way you can tell if they filled it to fast. The Pot mate, if I'm think right, your talking about the ones that go on the pods, those just tell you the temp of the pods and the paint inside them.

it is a sticker that sticks on your tank
what it does is calculates the real pressure in the tank based on the temperature, that way you'll know how much air you'll lose on the cooldown

theoretically it's not that hard to use......you look at what temp is lit up to show you the temp of the tank, and you can see the corresponding pressure of the tank. The only thing this really does for you is tell you how much your tank is going to cool down. In other words look at your tank temp before the fill and note the corresponding pressure, then after the fill you'll know what temp your tank is going to sit at so you'll know how much pressure you're going to lose....is it useful? I don't know, I got one with something else I bought and I've never bothered to put it on

I put mine on when i got my angel air and when i filled it the presure said somthing like 4000 and it got warm and then i let it cool doown and it was at 3500 or somthing. So when you fill it and it gets hot it isnt actually what is on your reg. So the tank mate will show you how much your actually getting from the fill.

yea, thats what i mean, i wanna put it on my N64 or oven or something, to bring WDP products around the house
Or you can put one on your forehead, lol. This I think is about the most useless item WDP has sold. Well actually I use one in my tarantula's aquarium (or tank, huh) so I guess it had some use.

Its not useless at all. You just arnt smart enough to use it i guess. I mean if you have a 45/4500 tank and you fill it up and then it cools down before the game and you find out you only got 3700psi in the tank and you play a hard game where it lasts for the whole time limit and you run out of air then your screwed.
Well I guess if the game is going the distance and you're not smart enough to dictate your air comsumption to last the rest of the game then you lack common intelligence needed adapt during a game and your little strip isn't going to help anyways.
