Hey guys, it turns out that ActionVillage sent me the wrong tank.... its actually a High pressure when i ordered a low pressure... they said there was nothing they could do since i used it once ... (Imagine that.. with no markings on the regulator as to what the output pressure of the tank was... its almost impossible to not use it and find this out)

Anyway! looks like i have no other choice other than to either buy a new tank... or a new regulator...

New toys for me (^_^).... but i hate spending money when i shouldnt really need to (-_-) ... Unlike alot of people i know, my parents dont buy my gear, it comes out of my pocket...

I just cant decide which would be a better purchace!
I know that the new regulator would be cheaper ($95 for the CP reg and adapter) i dont know of anyone who wants to buy a high pressure nitro tank... If i need to, i'll just spend the extra money and just buy a new tank.. i just need some advice, i figured this was the best place to ask..

Thanks for your help!!

Didn't you say in another thread that you had a PMI tank?

If so...
Did you know you can buy a spring pack to convert yours for less than $20?

I just did mine and it works great!

I got mine here: http://www.discountpaintball.com/pro...oducts_id=1812

Really easy to install! seriously take less than 5 minutes.

Just thought I'd let you know!

Tell actionvillage to send you that kit for free, since they screwed up your order. They'll most likely be pricks about it, but it's worth a shot.

i did call them, they said that there was nothing they could do since ive had the tank for a while.... it hasnt really been that long at alll.. i couldnt find that kit anywhere on their website anyway

i just didnt notice because i had used it for about 2 months on my impulse. I guess it dosent matter what kind of tank you put on one of those, but i wondered what in the world was going on when i got my angel..

there really wasnt any way to know without using it... the output pressure isnt marked on the regulator anywhere. But im happy this whole thing is only going to turn out to cost me $14 thats not really that bad, considering it could have been something alot more serious that was wrong.
