    What tank size do you all recommend?

    How many shots can an X valve get from a 90 CI 4500 PSI tank? I'm looking to order a tank soon. The 68 is 10 1/2 inches long and the 90 is 12 1/2 inches long. I'm leaning towards the 90 but not sure about size and weight. That is if it is a good idea over the 68.

    I don't have a problem with my 68/45s but I prefer a 88/45 for a long day of play.

    Prolly also depends on if u have easy access to air, if you dont, get the larger tank.

    I have a 88/45, but my local fields and shops only fill to 3k if I'm lucky, If they did Full 4.5k fills I could get by with a 68.

    At LL3 with 4.5k fills I was getting easy 6-7 pods + hopper our of my 88.

    The final battle I only did a 3k fill cause the line was so long at the 4.5k fill stations and I was around 800psi after shooting 5 pods and a hopper.

    "How many shots can an X valve get from a 90 CI 4500 PSI tank? I'm looking to order a tank soon. The 68 is 10 1/2 inches long and the 90 is 12 1/2 inches long. I'm leaning towards the 90 but not sure about size and weight. That is if it is a good idea over the 68."


    the Weight difference will be minimal.

    A ruff calculation for shots

    15 * ci for 4.5k
    10 * ci for 3k

    so a 90 4.5 can get around 1350 shots
    and a 68 4.5 around 1020 shots.

    Your only looking at about 2pod difference between the 2 tanks.

    If you get the 90 and its too long get a CP razor drop and it will fit like a 68. IMO

    Sounds like the 90 is the way to go for me.
