Question about Epiphany..
What can be done to the Epiphany and what are the best things for each place? (I'm new to this) Also do you think an 88ci Air tank would be heavy and I should stick with a 68ci?

68 is fine. Play with your gun and see what you wanna do upgrade wise after that. I'd suggest getting a vlocity or a halo with ur epiphany if its ur final choice.

dollar store 9v's will yield wild fluctuations in FPS and consistancy, get name brand 9v's and be happy.

This gun is quite far from being a gas hog...
Try the DM4 for example, I've seen them get only about a hopper and two pods off of a 68/45 tank, thats a gas hog.
Clamping feedneck and a 360 are good upgrades though, and just remember to lube often and you'll be fine.

No, the guy is most likely a tournament player or a complete noob.
For recball and weekend stuff, the stock board is just fine.

A CP barrel kit is acutally quite expensive, I'm not sure about their one piece though.

Ive got an epiphany and id say get a clamping feedneck for it and as the barrel goes ive found the freak jr. does a fine job but you may want to but some inserts that fit the paint that you commonly use.
And good bateries is way important. either paintball secific or i like engergizer rechargables

If u want to run a 88ci tank get a serious drop forward for your epiphany, the asa stays flush with the back of the marker and makes her back-end heavy..

I'd sat that 68 is fine... any larger isn't worth it unless you're going to carry a lot of paint (and I really mean about 12 or something pods), and long times between tank refills.

Agreed, I ran a 45/45 on my epiphany and was getting at least 6-7 pods off it stock, jsut optimized for maximum efficiency. 360 qev is a good upgrade, clamping feedback, APE Rampage board if you are trying to move into tournament play, other then that you are set. If you are an accuracy whore get a DW fibur barrel.
