Hey, new to this site so far its goin great . I have one question that i havent been able to find in any of the other forums so far ! I have a tippmann 98 and ive had it for about 2 months now and co2 is expensive. 25cents an ounce. so i was wondering if anybody knows of any good CO2 fill stations and were to get one , anyways thanks for the help.

It would be difficult to transport it to where ever your playing at.

Besides, if you cant afford 25 cents an ounce, your gonna hate the cost of playing paintball over time.

Its expensive to buy into, and would take a a very long while to start saving money with it.

[evolkers2003]

yeah, thats really not that much. A fill station is like $30 and you can get them on alot of online stores. Try google, its one thing alot of people overlook.

[kenny_1491]

what size tank do you use? for a 20 oz tank it would cost 5 bucks, im pretty sure it would be cheaper to just stick with the 25c an oz, wouldn't you have to keep filling it up with co2 idk about you but I am oretty sure that will cost money,

[deadlydayne]

well ive been lookin on ebay and found a brass eagle fill station with a dump filter for 50 dollars. The big CO2 tank isnt gonna cost to much because my dad is a machinist and works with welders so he gets the tanks at a discout. we already have on in our garage. all i need is the fill station. also forgot to mention this but this isnt for just me. its for about 9-10 20oz. tanks. so as you can see it would cost alot more just to fill up for 25cents when i can get a fill station

[kenny_1491]

well that changes alot of standards then, hmm I'd say go on with the fill station then.

[deadlydayne]

ya like i said it would cost somewhere around $50 to fill all of them then paintballs arent cheap either cause we always buy a 2000 box pack for each of us. thats like $150 so ive been lookin for the fill stations and just wonderin which was a good one to get

My son and I both got Spyder xtras for Christmas. We have 3 9oz and 12oz tanks. The best deal in town is 3 bucks per tank. If a 50 lb CO2tank is used, you can refill close to 40 20oz tanks if you have a fill station and scale. I have been checking with compressed gas dealers for the best price. With a 100 dollar deposit, I can rent a 50lb (the weight of CO2 held in the cylinder) CO2 cylinder for 8 bucks a month. Refilling that cylinder or exchanging it would cost $18.75 each time. So if I can get some of my son's friends to let me refill their tanks for a fair deal, I should be able to at least break even. Working with high pressure cylinders isn't much of a stretch for me since I'm a Respiratory Therapist! If I can't find a digital scale at Wal-Mart, I'll get the scale and fill station from eBay.

well thats what i have now. I have a 50. thats coming in today. the valve is easy to get, and if i dont get it ill just make it. and the scale i can also find easily. thanks for the help.

25c/oz! Dude! I only pay $1.00 per fill, $2.00 if it's 20oz+

[chris_13]

i get free co2 and nitro at my field

[Renegade_Storm]

..

[evolkers2003]

Yeah, i get all my air for free. If i dont i sneak over to a freinds and fill them.

[deadlydayne]

well thats y im getting my own 50lb. co2 tank so i can just fill up whenever i need it and its alot cheaper, free for me. and i wont have to go into town everytime i run out

If you plan on getting into this sport more, i wouldnt suggest buying it, b.c. you will be using nitrogen.



also flatlines arnt near 200 dollars and expansion chambers arnt that expensive either.

[deadlydayne]

up hear in michigan the flatline and expansion chamber cost that much. dont go to Johnsons sporting goods. or Duhnams. they are expensive thats were i got them though. i dont plan on using nitro because its expensive and only johnsons fills nitro and its a 20 minute drive to get there from where i am so CO2 is cheaper
