Looking to get one and I read a bunch of review on Pyramyd but I was curious to see if anybody here has one.

I haven't seen anyone complaining about failures with them Manny, I too would like to get something like that for filling guns directly, I've pretty much decided against the Yong Hengs, there are just too many people having all kinds of problems with them. Manny it would seem like there would be a lot of dive shops where you're at
During the spring, summer and fall I just get the two tanks that I have filled for only $5 each which is well worth it in my opinion however it sure would be nice not to have to worry about being able to get air in the winter months here because the guy that fills my tanks heads south to Florida in the winter months. The worse case scenario is that I can always use my hand pump but when filling a 300cc airgun it can get old fast, especially if it involves filling it from zero while trying to tune a regulator or something that needs tuning that requires the gun to be degassed.

Wander if this compressor would be alright topping up 3500 psi scuba tanks, maybe not in one go but in a few sessions ?
I asked month ago when Pyramyd was testing the compressor and reports where very good from the testers too.

I only seen two replys about it at Airgun Depot, the first reply they talked about filling a 88 cubic inch tank with it in a couple of sessions. If I did buy one I would only fill guns with it, I would probably put the gold filter on it when using it too. Filling a gun or small tank to 4500psi is going to get the air cooled compressor mighty warm I'll bet.

Got a friend of mine that is gonna gift me a 3500 psi Steel 100 cf tank and a 3200 psi alluminum 100 cf tank,
I have 2 Hill pumps,
i want to get a Nomad and I was wandering once I got the taks filled at the shop and i use them a bit could i use the Nomad to top them up ?
But yes mainly the Nomad will be used to fill guns directly,....my Hills can get a well deserved break

I was told by Terry(my air supplier) that the steel tanks can hydrotested indefinitely also. He was using his huge tanks as an example, I think he has 4 or 5 of the big yellow ones.
He has the ultimate setup for air and has a steady stream of customers when he's here in town. He closed down his dive shop last year because the costs to keep it going would
exceed the profits so he now does everything from his home, I know he teaches diving classes there and another nearby town on Fridays. On Saturdays he's alway there because his
local classes do their testing there at his home.
What a nice compressor he has too.
