How You Can Get More Out of Your Paintball CO2 Tank

Want to improve your CO2 tank and make it the best it can be? Ill show you three ways to get better performance and a longer life out of your tank.

On/off valves provide a tremendous improvement over pin valves. If you dont have one, get one, because they simplify your life. When you are gassing up your gun, screw in the tank and then turn on the valve, when you are finished, turn it off.

Pin valves shorten the life of your o-rings. When you unscrew a tank with a pin valve, the left over gas in the gun will often blow out, making an unpleasant hissing sound. This will sometimes ruin your o-ring. An on/off valve makes it more painless to remove your tank. Simply turn off the valve, shoot out the remaining gas, and unscrew it. It will save your o-rings, and it will get rid of the annoying hiss.

Installing an anti-siphon to your paintball tank will help you get the most out of it. The main problem with CO2 is that when it is inside your tank, it can exist in liquid and gas form.

CO2 exists as a liquid and a gas in your tank, and when your gun starts running off of the liquid, its performance will suffer. An anti-siphon kit will help make sure that the gas goes into the gun and not the liquid.

To keep your tank scratch free and in pristine condition, you can buy a neoprene cover to protect it. It will protect it from dings and from normal wear and tear, and can even help it grip your shoulder a little better.

An on/off valve is an o-ring saver, and is convenient to have. You can easily turn your tank on and off when needed. It makes life easier.

For improved consistency, an anti-siphon kit will help your gun use the gas and not the liquid.

To keep your tank looking brand new, put a neoprene cover on it to prevent it from getting dinged from use.
