http://www.1ct1c.com/product/big-tank-filled-air-compressor-10l-12l/Taken from the other Chinese compressor thread. Anyone know more about this? Yeah, I know JoeB is gonna come in and wail on me, but to save $400 on the same item is to save $400, straight up. I'd love to buy from Mr. Joe, but money is money and I might even go the cheap route with the $65 HP filter being linked on AliExpress. Sure, it may blow up and kill me dead, but so possibly could Joe's Carette, if they are in fact the same item.Looking on Joe's site with all the fixin's including a Great White and his Alpha filter puts me up around $2,500 plus. His site is somewhat hard to figure the deals. No, I'm not a moron, but it does take some thinking to get a final price with the various packages. I would definitely trust buying from Joe, though, but I'm not made of money and if I can save a buck or two by shopping around, I will.
David,I'm not sure how Joe from air tanks for sale is packaging them ( he is the only official authorized distributor for the Carette). I would shoot him a quick call.My unit came from the manufacturer direct ( China).DJ
What does bug me is that IMO there are also vendors that exploit the desire for a proven, safe product by boosting prices unreasonably and hard selling additional equipment, also at exorbitant prices, that may not be desired or necessarily needed. That's not acceptable to me either.MY opinion, just sayin'.

As to my original question about the filter, I did call and found out that it is another $300 to get the filter. All this adds up in a hurry. I had a Daystate/Coltri 220v that I sold after owning for 8 moths for $2200. It was someone on this site that bought it from me. The only reason I got rid of it was it was 220 and not as portable and was very loud. A smaller, lighter, quieter, & 110v is very appealing for $1400 but not without effective moister removal, and that's when the Carette starts loosing its appeal. My hand pump will have to serve me for now I guess until things change a bit.
What is the recommended oil for the compressor?
