The reviews on the Crosman tank adapter are less than stellar so, Any thoughts on the subject? Thanks Griz here ya go   Posted: Wed May 25, 2011 4:08 pm jimineecricket Member Joined: 03 Feb 2011 Posts: 83 Location: beaver dam this will take care of all your needs Cheers! http://airtanksforsale.com/   Posted: Wed May 25, 2011 4:32 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" You need a tank-most diveshops will sell a used, certified tank, with a number of "free" fill-ups included in the price- which is typically $150-200 Other than that you would need a SCUBA yoke and a hose. Crosman does not sell/have any SCUBA yokes- so I am confused as to how they could have gotten any bad reviews (?) http://www.ninjapaintball.com/productDetail.asp_Q_catID_E_90_A_subCatID_E_77_A_productID_E_74 http://www.ninjapaintball.com/productDetail.asp_Q_catID_E_91_A_subCatID_E_84_A_productID_E_93#   Posted: Wed May 25, 2011 4:40 pm Griz Member Joined: 16 Mar 2011 Posts: 36 Location: Colorado Springs, CO AirGunEric wrote: Crosman does not sell/have any SCUBA yokes- so I am confused as to how they could have gotten any bad reviews (?) Funny, Crosman has one on their web site. http://www.crosman.com/airguns/accessories/pcp/FAH003 I bought a used 80cuft tank, $40 It's at the dive shop getting a hydo, visual inspection and fill. Thanks for the links, I'll check 'em out   Posted: Wed May 25, 2011 6:52 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Griz wrote: Crosman has one on their web site. Ah, yes, had forgotten about it- no one buys it, too expensive compared to ones like the unit I pointed out. That being said- what are these "less than stellar reviews"? It's a SCUBA yoke of common design for paintball/airgun use- unless it blows the gauge face off- what are people claiming the issue is with them? _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Most said that once they'd disassembled it, used Teflon tape and reassembled it, it worked fine. Just seems to me you shouldn't have to rebuild something straight out of the box. Thanks for the Links! I'm going to order the fill station and hose today Griz   Posted: Thu May 26, 2011 9:33 am donwalk Veteran Member Joined: 09 Jun 2009 Posts: 247 Location: republik of kaliphornia i got mine thru www.airgunsofarizona.com and another thru www.airforceairguns.com. both are quality and both are not cheap, though make sure you get a "K" valve on a SCUBA tank if you get a SCUBA tank. they do come with DIN valves as well and require special adapters that are hard/expensive to come by as i recall _________________ never squat while wearing spurs...will rogers   Posted: Thu May 26, 2011 11:02 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Turns out the SCUBA industry has had some differing "standards" than the rest of the world- different way to consider tanks pressures, different tanks valves ('J' Style, 'K' Style, DIN)- fortunately almost everything bought in North America these days uses the same valve ('K' style)- but still- an entire industry of this size can't standardize things better? _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Canadian Airgun Supplier: http://www.scopesandammo.com/storefront I use the DIN vavle   Posted: Thu May 26, 2011 12:01 pm jimineecricket Member Joined: 03 Feb 2011 Posts: 83 Location: beaver dam Been happy with the DIN vavle set up no problem filling everything is basicly hand tight. Set up my probes and guns to have a foster QD set up and away I go no hassel no wrenches just fill and go. If I have the scuba shop fill my tank I just unscrew the hose from my DIN and they screw there's in and whala full of air no tools required.   Posted: Tue May 31, 2011 4:08 pm Griz Member Joined: 16 Mar 2011 Posts: 36 Location: Colorado Springs, CO Yeehaw! Just talked to the dive shop. The tank passed Hydro! They're going to do the Viz tomorrow and I'll get over there to pick it up on Thursday I ordered the Ninja Paintball fill yoke and extension hose, should be here next week.   Posted: Tue May 31, 2011 4:45 pm yourdaddyjoe Supporting Member Joined: 26 May 2008 Posts: 4027 Location: Tatorville, USA If you decide to bench shoot with a in-line Reg... You will want to upgrade the Ninja whip... I've blown a couple of them out with consistent 2000 psi. Ninja exchanged them no problem... and they are good for fill hoses... just not for constant bench feed. I find the red "pre-made" industrial High Pressure Grease gun hoses work better... I still have yet to blow one of them out. Don't have them make them up in-house... the last one I had made lasted 15 mins and started blistering. The last few red pre-made hoses I bought where through Hose & Fitting in West Sacramento, CA. They can handle a consistent 4800 psi. No on-line ordering with Hose & Fitting. You'll have to call them at 888.760.4673 Ask them about the pre-packaged "Red" Grease Gun hoses. The come in different lengths with 1/8" FNPT fittings all ready attached. _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...
