LowPressure CrossFire, Pick up a used one, I just sold mine for $135 on PbNation they run at around that price. Its a good tank with one of the highest flows on the market, consitent too.
Or be like me and get a Conquest Air System. :drink:

Terminator is right. I just picked up a Crossfire 92ci 4500 tank off ebay for 160 with cover. Just shop around and you should be able to find one used for a good price. Stay away from ACI, they have some bad regs and Nitro Duck presets are not as efficient as the Crossfire. The Nitro Duck X-stream however is the way to go for a cheap adjustable reg with high volume. If you do get the Crossfire make sure you pick up the Low pressure tank 450 PSI. The regs are colored to indicate pressure. High pressure is a red and Low is the blue regulator. Good Luck

You do not want Angel Air LCD. The angel air has had so many problems many paintball stores have quit carrying it. O-ring problems, constant leaks, and broken or miscalibrated displays. Not to mention the LCD requires special drop forwards designed to hold this hefty piece of junk. Many people also claim that the LCD has serious drop off. If you want more info check pbreview.com and look at the complaints about the Angel Air. The Max Flow is the way to go.

Dont get an Air. My friend had had many Oring leaks. we even had Rocky rebuild it to no avail. Beware the Air.
OK. speedstar. I don't think you are understanding our point. ALL ANGEL AIR SYSTEMS SUCK. DON'T BUY ONE. EVEN THE LCD, EVEN THE ADJUSTABLE, THEY ALL SUCK. get a crossfire low pressure.

I hear MacDev Conquest is one of, if not the best adjustable reg system. But go with a LP Crossfire 68/4500 @450psi.

why, just get preset crossfire
and although I have a conquest and not a maxflo, I mean come on they are at least equal, if not the conquest being better, and you dont want to really give your $$$ to smart parts do you

The new MaxFlow's Inlines have a common problem with the poppet o-ring coming off, then you have to rebuild the reg again. Happened to 5 different people I Know with the Inlines, I was this close to getting one |--|
After seeing all their problems, (one friend even had metal shavings in his) I decided the Conquest was the way to go. It is known to be yet even more consitent, and is virtually maintence free, Just relube the reg every couple months.
Purchasing the Inline, you will have a gamble, of sending it back to SmartParts so they can tech to you. I sense a lot of Anti_SmartParts sentiment, but This is not bias on my part, I own a Shocker and just tryin to steer you to getting a product you will be more satisfied from. :doc:
You might wanna check out PBnation, for used Conquest MacDev's, you can find real nice deals, but make sure it has the Red Clip that keeps the On/Off closed, (the only problem that was with the Conquest, but has been solved and modded in all the new models)
Hope it helps
