The Angel A.I.R. system by WDP is the best. Then it is the maxflow system.

This should be moved to a different forum topic

A.I.R sucks. It's just a mechanical regulator with some flashy electronic crap thrown on. Inline, the sidewinder is probably the best, and vigilantes, though not bieng the very best, are still better than alot of the regs out there, and I use one myself and am very happy

max flows are better than the piece of crap vigilante reg and so is the angel A.I.R. I also see you are a moderator you must have no life because you are always on here.

Cute, really. Now, read this 4 or 5 times, because you seem to have some sort of brain dysfunction in which you see me comparing regs to the vigilante, where really I never even mention those regs. I.... never.... mentioned... the.... maxflow.... Read that, and keep on reading buddy. Now you can stop, the rest of this post will be directed towards the inteligent people in this forum, you'll get overwhelmed and you've already accomplished so much today, no need to overexert your fragile hamster brain.


The angel A.I.R while claiming to be an EP regulator really isnt. Air flow and pressure is still determined by a mechanical regulator, much like any other reg out there. So for a digital display that has information that though is useful, isnt necessary, you are paying an extra 150 dollars. Why not just buy a conquest or dynaflow and stick some WDP skinz on it so it looks like an angel AIR if being "hip" means that much to you.

It's like would u pay 80$ for a t-shirt from a&f or buy a wal-mart t-shirt that looks exactly the same for 8$.


hamster brain that was a good one lol

shouldn't this be moved to the air systems forum... just a thought... since the one who started this post is talking about "air-related stuff."

just a thought... how good is the sidewinder compared to mac dev gladiator... i used a vigilante before, i like it alot...

Well, they're about the same. I've never seen a defective gladiator, but I've heard way too many stories of people getting +-10 with their angels and the like to dismiss it. If it's working, it'll be shooting the exact same velocity every time, and it does have the whole "no tools disassembly". However I've never heard of anyone havin a problem with the sidewinder, AKA makes very high quality stuff, and it comes in different lengths, because some people want the smallest reg possible, and others want something that will make a better foregrip, so that's always a bonus. I've never really seen shootdown on either, so I'm of the opinion that they're both awesome regs, only the gladiator can be problematic at times. Otherwise they're probably equally as good. Another good reg out there is the Hyperflow (I believe that's the name, could be wrong) from centerflag. Bob's Ironmen are using em on their timmies, and the timmy is a pretty demanding gun on regs, so I think that says alot right there. Last year however, Bob used gladiators, so again, it's a good reg when it works. On a side note, the centerflags are probably really good considering the new chips on the timmies come default with a BPS of 32, so you're gonna need a real good air setup when you're shooting 16+. And yeah, vigis are pretty decent as well

The Mac Dev Gladiator and Palmer stabilizer are two of the greatest out right now, gladiator has higher flow and the palmer is more CO2 tolerant.

are any of you guys gonna talk about the max flo?
i hear the really consistent tanks out there (like the apocolypse or max flo) will become less consistent with an inline reg and are better with just a gas through stock

No way man. A tank on it's own will give you +-6 or so if it's workin well. An adjustable should always be combined with an inline reg

I've got a vigilante too, great performance for the money and real simple too. if you're short on money (and who isn't) i'd say the vigilante is your best bet, but if you're one of the elite w/ money to spend i'm sure there are regs that are a lot better but easily 2X the price

OK, apparently you don't know a much as you think you do. A vigilante reg is kicka$$ for a dual regulated system. The Max-Flow regulator is consistent less than 6+- as elTwitcho stated mine is 1or2+- in speed. If you want to spend more on the tank, get a Max-Flow because it doesn't need a second regulator, it's basically a dual reg itself. If you want to go dual reg, then get a vigilante as your secondary reg, I have one as backup and it is good as my Max-Flow when I have it as a 3:1 pressure ratio(tank:vigilante-reg) setup I'd use that if my max-flow ever went out, which it hasn't yet :). I can only push out just under 10/bps, so it may vary if your faster, but if your shooting that fast or faster you need to work on accuracy.
