slower recharge, extra $$ for the dye name. Not the lightest.

I love my Nitroduck. It has a very good, quick, consistent tank reg on it, and it's tougher and lighter than most HPA tanks. They're not overpriced, unlike a few companies I could name. *Cough*Empire*Cough*Dye*Cough*

hmm. no. any company will have problems here and there, but if it was that most/all the tanks leak, they would recall them, or wouldnt sell them. i had a pure energy steel/aluminum tank, worked great.
