| Review: |
I am currenly borrowing a 88ci 3000 carbon fiber melee tank for a tourny this month. It's a major step up from my 50/3000 aluminum tank. It's lighter, go figure. It holds more air, and fits suprisingly compfortable on my gun. The reg's adjustable. If i still had my BT4 Assault w/super RT, i could've cranked the output up to 1000psi and let that baby rip! lolz.
The tank also fills very fast, an added bonus. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is an outstanding tank. The bigger ones are very cheap because nobody wants a big tank ;)
Pick one up, for sure. |

| Review: |
If your going to be a compressed air system then taking a look at this one is a must. I have never had a problem yet the two others I have used have had problems like leaking out the fill nipple. Its light. Very consistent output pressure. What else do you need in a tank. Also these aren't very expensive. I payed about $140 for this. There is no sense in paying a tank with all sorts of fancy stuff on it, all that is unnecessary stuff that can break costing you more money. A tank is there to be consistent not tell you how much time is left in a game. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great tank, you can't go wrong by buying one. I firmly stand behind this tank it is a great product. So if your looking to upgrade from CO2 to compressed and want a good tank that wont break the bank then this one is for you. |

None, my first nitro tank |
|
| Marker Setup: |
Silver ICD BKO, 2" CP Flame D/F
Black Tippmann M98 Custom, Double Trigger, WGP Regulator |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
I was looking for a nitro tank to power my M98 Custom (This is before I bought my BKO), when I came across the Air America Me'lee tank.
I had read a lot of good things about the Air America tank, from the consistent flow, to Air America's lifetime warranty. Also the Pro shop which I purchased it from recommended it and it wasn't that expensive (I paid $130 for a 68/3000). The Me'Lee Regulator is preset to 800 PSI.
After a few days, I took it out to the field to try it out. I hooked up my tank and went to the chronograph and found that it was consistent (+/-6 FPS) over the chrono, and suffered no considerable shootdown throughout the day, which made me very happy.
I have not had any major problems with it since I have bought it, so thats another big plus. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Its a steel tank, so its heavier than fiber wrapped tanks, but thats not a big deal to me since I am a big guy and can handle the extra weight. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you are looking for a good tank at a good price, I would recommend this tank. It is consistent, has good air flow and is backed by Air America 100%% |

|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Its little more consistant than my PMI steel tank. On a Rec Day It will last me 3 10-15min games since I'm not shooting as much paint. Its nice looking. People tell me all the time how its a good tank which it is. Its consistant shoots about 700rds with my cocker. Has a good regulator attached to it. Screws right in to any asa with no problem. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The bad thing that I found out about it was that I used it in a local tourney and I got stuck playing back simply because everyone on my makeshift team was saying I had the most range out of all four of them. So there fore I had to shoot more paint. And I ran out of Air but I stayed in the game. So I had to barrow the owners 68ci 4500psi and everything was so much better. Thats the only down fall I found if you shoot alot of paint or play back and dump a case in one game get a larger tank. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If Your like me that plays more Rec than tourney. Then you should be ok. If you play alot of tourney ball then you might wanna consider a larger size. Over all if you play rec or every once in a while then this tank will do you justice. Back players get a bigger tank unless you dont shoot over 700. |

| Strengths: |
This tank is soooo consistent, i had +/-3 fps with 5 shots over the chrony, i got mine when it just came out so it was a little expensive but u get what u pay for!! it also looks really cool, it actually looks like it has a reg on it, none of that crap like pmi and crossfire. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
the only bad thing was i had to "break" it in, it took about 3 fills but it is sooo amazing now. |
|
| Conclusion: |
i hear that they are like 170 now, and i paid 230 for mine, i shot 230 was way worth it, but 170!!! BUY IT NOW |

|
| Strengths: |
This is a very good quality tank. First off you can't beat the price, I got mine for 189 bux! The reg on this guy is sweet, it is very consistant, you will have no dropoff during rapid fire. I have gotten many compliments on this tank, every time i get it filled, at my local shop the owner always says that it is a very good tank and that he really likes them, and let me tell you this guy knows his stuff! |
|
| Weaknesses: |
after my second fill, my low pressure burst disk broke, very annoying!!!! I replaced it and havn't had any problems since! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Very good high quality tank, It is recommended to anyone looking to get into the Nitro market. Could be your first and only tank you ever need! |

|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Very consistant but all N2 just about is.
The tank isn't too big so it's still easy to shoot.
Easy to fill and it has a high enough operating pressure (800PSI) to work with most Spyder etc. w/o any extra parts.
It isn't expensive, i got mine for like 280$CDN which should be like 150-80$US.
(don't email me for where i got it) |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Its a little heavy but that's about it.
Preset tank but don't hold that againt it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
A great way to get into the whole N2 thing.
If you can't affort an adjustable tank this is the way to go. |

| Strengths: |
Very nice recharge times! It is so light! I came off a 47 crossfire and the crossfire is about 2x as heavy. I love it I can snap-shoot more easily because it is lighter. I have the 68 cubic inch tank. I got the fiber wrapped for $180 well I think thats the site. I am telling you this tank is nice. When I first opened the box I was in love with it. It is a great price for the product. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
This is the best part about this tank. There is no catch, nothing bad at all. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Well this is probably the best screw-in that you can buy made from the air masters themselves at Air America. |
