Newbie Nitro tank question

Hey whats up. I am new to paintball and was looking into getting a tippmann a5 with the remote coil system I wanted to get a tank. Do I get a 3000 psi or 4500psi that what I am unsure about. I was looking at a 68 or 72 3000 psi tank but saw that the 4500 tanks are alot more expensive just wondering what you guys think is the best. The tippmann I am getting is the a5 with flatline and e grip WAS, not sure if that helps thanks and Merry Christmas.

A tank with 4,500psi in it will get you a lot more shots than the same tank with 3,000psi. in it.

So, 4,500psi. - more shots per fill but more expensive

The 68ci. tanks are a great size, so I'd recommend around that size.

If you can afford it, go for a 68ci./4,500psi. tank since you will get so many shots, plus they'll be a little lighter since they are made of carbon fiber and not steel like the cheaper tanks.

If you're only going to be playing like once a month or so then maybe you should look into a 3,000psi. tank.

And I assume you plan on playing a lot of recball and woodsball, if so then getting the remote is fine. Keep in mind you'll want to purchase a harness that can hold the tank. But, if you're going to be playing speedball or something of the sort, then a remote isn't such a good idea.

Thanks for the reply.. Yeah pretty much just woodsball no speedball.. Alot of guys from work play we are in Law Enforcement so anytime we can go out and shoot each other and not get in trouble well we are all about it. Ok so you suggest the 68 4500 yeah I will see what I can find on ebay. I was thinking of getting a vest that will hold the tank in the back. Also what do you think of the Tippmann A5 w. flatline and WAS E Grip. I was gonna wait for the X7 but I figured why spend more money for a few more BPS I am sure I wont even realize it. Is there anything else I should know good stuff to get bad stuff not worth it etc etc. What about the coil remote is there any problems with them? Thanks again have a good Holiday

This is also a newbie type of question for anyone who's watching this, but I was looking at tanks for my new Ion, and they had a 68 ci/4500 and like a 45 ci/4500. Is it just the size being that the 45 is smaller or do you get more shots from the 68?

the 68 will be bigger, hold more air, giving you more shots...try both see which size you like if shots isnt a big issue for you especially with ions being so light smaller tank would be nice if you could
