I plan on getting an autococker 2001, and the first upgrade i want is nitro. Unfortunately i dont understand really well and i need help. Are 88 ci tanks that big, and are they heavier than a 20 oz CO2 tank? Whats the difference between fiber wrapped and steel? Is crossfire good? Do they already have regs on them? and do i need a cradle?

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HELP

You can get screw in nitro tanks that will screw into your gun just like a CO2 tank would. 88ci is bigger than I like, but some people like it. Fiber and steel wont make any difference in performance, but a fiber tank is super light, way lighter than a 20oz. All nitro tanks come with regulators, some have adjustable output, some are preset. Crossifres are pretty good, my vote goes with a Pure energy tank, but between that, a bulldog, or a crossfire, you'll be happy with whatever you buy, they're all pretty good

i was lookin at some crossfires....are they 4500 psi or 3000 psi? they are just screw in...i juss need to know wat psi they are. im lookin for a nice 88ci 4500 psi tank...for under 200 if possible. (its okay if it is preset cuz cockers use 800psi input) u guys think 88 is too big?? i mean...on an autococker...is da 88ci bigger than the cocker itself? i want my nitro system to be da same size as mah gun...also.....i never knew nitro tanks were so light. whenever i look at them they look 5x heavier than my 20oz co2 tank. anyways...wat about offset cradles. like...da crossfire cradle...it sets the tank to the left or right.does it make the gun right/left heavy? does it affect comfort at all?

There are no 4500 psi tanks for under 200, and no 4500 tanks that are screw in either. Most preset screw in 3000psi/88ci are more than 200. You can try buying used, but then you'll probably get ripped

well not really under....i was lookin at some turbomax's for around 270....if i get a non-screw-in tank.....how would i use it with my gun? does it already have the regulator attached and u just hook that up with a drop forward? also...if it doesnt screw in/out...how do you refill it?

Well souljah, all nitro tanks refill through a little nipple (haha, nipple, sorry) on the side, even presets. It isnt like CO2 tanks that fill through the pin valve, so you dont even need to disconnect a screw in from your gun to get it filled. And most non-screw in tanks come with an adjustable regulator. All tanks come with at least some form of regulator, or else you'd get 3000psi flowing into your gun, which would be bad on so many levels, I dont think humans have the brain power to comprehend it. As for Drop forwards, they are a different kind for non-screw in tanks, they pretty much hold the regulator part of the tank, and keep it in place. There is no ASA for anything to screw into. Setting it up, you just run hose directly from your tank into either an inline reg, or right into your gun. Turbomax's are so-so tanks. Personally I'd say go with an AGD flatline if ya want a real good tank for around 270-300 ish. It's much better than the turbomax, and even though it is 3000psi and not 4500, the better recharge and consistency is what you're really gonna like over having a few extra shots. The cocker is really efficient anyway, so with an 88ci 3K you're looking at at least 800 shots before needing a fill. Most places dont even fill 4.5K, they only go up to 3K. That said, take a look at the flatline if you have the cash.
