Terry--I will definitely be checking my balls.......... I noticed that 2 of those tanks had sold, now I know to whom. Darn good deal! You'll be in heaven once you start using them. Sure beats all that pumping! Hope you have a place nearby that does 4500 fills. I'm really lucky that I have a scuba shop 25 minutes away that does 4500 very reasonably and they're great people. Just hope they never close!Ed

Local fire extinguisher place does the hydro's for $28. Paint ball guy in my town will fill to 4500psi for $12.
Those are some nice clean looking tanks. You will be much happier using them once you get them going. I would go with the Stikman fill assy. with having two tanks to work with.I have been following along while out hunting and took a look at your last JSB string. That string is pushing the JSBs hard for sure at 33.86 FPE. Once you are able to control the peak with the reg., you should see the ES tighten up more. With the ports opened up so much you can expect a higher ES without a reg. or other means to control the peak. You did get 25 shots from a 2850 fill that gave you a 3.7% ES at 34.75 FPE average.
Terry-Glad you received the tanks ok, doesn't look like they were packed all that well. What are you gonna use for your "fill rig"? I've been thinking about buying the one left and he sent me a youtube link showing how an adapter he made can be used with a scuba fill station which I have. Don't know if I'd trust that or not but it seemed to work fine in the video. I know an adapter/hose from JoeB for a SCBA is $150+. I'm going to call my scuba shop & see what a hydro would cost. Maybe by then it'll be sold & I can quit considering it.......Ed

Makes sense to be able to cascade the tanks since I have 2. Sending them off for hydro and go from there. I'm anxious to get the reg and open up the TP. I feel like once the ES get's in check that it should produce some really nice strings. I'm enjoying working on it but ready to get to shooting it any time now!

It is really easy to remove and install by hand. and can be adjusted easily for different viewing angles. You can fill using the tank with less pressure and then top off with the higher pressure tank. This will limit the number of trips to get a refill which saves gas, time and money. Don't fall for the slow fill DIN valve. The valve on the Scott tank is very easy to control the fill pressure safely.

The whole reason I bought 2 tanks was to be able to cascade fill with them to save trips to the paintball store. I'll probably just get the Stikman and call it good. I bought a hand tight adapter and a male foster from Air Tanks Plus already so I can get them filled.

I would just call Joe B. for those parts.
Well, if you had bought the cascade system at my cyber Monday discount price for one Stikman, your second Stikman would be costing you only $83. That's a pretty good deal when looking at it from that angle.
Hey Terry any word on your regulator yet? I ordered mine a week ago and tracking still just says shipping info received.
OK, I did some more digging and it arrived at office of exchange for USA(where ever that is) yesterday. I have one that came in the first kit I got from Tim and it's pretty sweet. I guess I'm impatiently waiting for that and a part from Travis(oldpro) to tune this gun. You know how it is right?
