Does anyone here have a filling a bulk Co2 tank at home? One of the ones where you can just refill your own tanks? I'm really thinking of getting one of those. ( Went to try out my new J&J ceramic today and I was outta phuckin co2 >_< )Do I need anything special for this operation? Thanks - keyhole

I built my own,used 3/8 ball valves,and I use my remote too hook too the tank and clip it too the T .valve before the tank and a bleed off valve after the tank. Wal- mart got a dig fish scale I use.
I have a 20 pound and a 50 pound co2 dipt tube tanks to do my fill from. The 20 pound is too tank too the fields.
Too fill a CO2 tank you got too chill the tank frist,mean fill a oz or so in the tank and blow it off and then fill it to tank size. If you doing it at home put the tank in the frig for about 15 mins and then fill it.The total cost for my fill station was for valves etc 20 bucks and scale was 19. My tanks are owner exchange

my friend who plays on my team has a Co2 fill station. unlike you talented paintball mechanics. he bought the fill station, instead of making his own.

why waste your money on something that is over priced it doesn't take a genuis to make one a bulk tank adapter, two ball vales, a remote, and fish scale from wal-mart.

I was going too buy one till I saw what they cost and what you was getting. So i made it cheaper.My nitro station is cool 2.All aircraft grade stuff for that. Plus since I work for a company that has planes does the word cheap come into mind.
