Need some help on choice
To make it simple should I go for good set of googles or hpa first (currently own a scott therm and co2 running thru a 2k3 cocker) oh also this may not be the place to ask it but might as well add it along, what is the number one thing that will give a cocker a faster smoother pull, 3way or trigger frame like a kapp, blade, or dye?

I say googles, can't hit what you can't see plus comfort makes a huge difference. I know I love my V-Force Profiler, it made a huge difference over the cheap JT mask I had.

i would get the hpa tank first the co2 can screw up the cocker if its not (anti-siphon) and it will also make the cocker run a little smoother
as for the trigger pull i would go with the eblade very nice up to a cocker even though its a little pricey

Go straight for HPA for that cocker of yours. Co2 isnt very good for it. At the very least have it anti siphoned.

you will be miserable without a thermal mask. A JT proflex is fine if you are short on the cash or an invision is gret too...

Both Proflexes look almost exactly the same.
With that said, get HPA.

Get a crossfire 68/45 then save for a profiler. Don't waste time with lower grade stuff, just go ahead and get the best and don't waste money. If you want a good mech trigger frame get the blade. Real nice.

for a used 65/45 whats the very max I should spent on a used tank with 3-5years left? also so having a blade frame will help my pull more then getting say a 3way bomb or belsales hollowpoint?

Mask... No question about it. If you play a lot a comfy mask makes a world of differance. My old mask is so good for me I don't even take it off between games from time to time and it gives me a Huge advantage on the field since I act as if I didn't have a mask at all.

A better feel?????? Ok...whatever you say because you OWN a proflex. Although most people say HPA i still go with a good mask....if you have the money, go with an invision or profiler.

Are you serious? The proflex is a great mask. I have one my self it is very comfortable and never fogs. I took both the Invision and Proflex systems and compared how they felt. The invision is overrated and the hype was pushed by many teams just because it is a Dye product. The foam material is nowhere near as comfortable as a Proflex's and for people with glasses don't even bother with the invision. Although on the other hand the Profiler is a good mask, but for the money a proflex will work damn good.
As for your decision i would go with the HPA tank. If you have fogging problems www.fogtech.com will get it done fast. The HPA tank is going to come more into play once you get a higher end gun and you will be thanking us for telling you to buy one.
I figure it this way, a HPA tank is $180 or somewhere around there. If you have that cash isn't it easier to buy that first and then save up for something around $50 rather then something around $180? Just my way of doing things.
