Leaking reservoir tanks, regulators and parts

These tanks are defective, I had to pay $45 to replace the regulator, that's about 2 or 3 defective tanks from this company.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Out of style

Check your tanks before using

I paid a premium for what was supposed to be a 'new' tank and as you can see it was used (I've provided photos). The product was listed as new but after a cursory inspection I found it was not a tank.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Great purchase in paintball

I never received my item so I got my money back. However, I would suggest this is a good tank because a lot of people at my local paintball park use it. Now I have a 48ci tank and it's great so definitely a good buy.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • ---

They sent Ninja Lite to replace it. No complaints here!

Not sure what happened at the time of my purchase but they sent me a Ninja Lite which I believe is an upgrade of this Empire tank. So this review is not really a review of this tank but more for society. Five stars!

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Hard to say

MALFUNCTION! Best in Tanks

Broken glass on regulator. I decided to leave it as it doesn't affect performance much. Once the tank fills with air you can hear it coming out. couldn't use it at all. GARBAGE! I definitely should have read the reviews before buying!

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Long delivery time

2 years from receipt.

I've never been disappointed in an Imperial tank. I just got back into paintball and needed a bigger tank. In general a good buy and tank. There would be a higher star if it wasn't a 2 year old tank. So I would recommend buying direct from the store or from a trusted website.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Compatibility

Make sure you know what it's used for.

Designed for use with paintball markers from 800psi. I accidentally bought a PCP airgun, I learned that fast enough. The regulator is set at 800 and was eventually replaced with one at 2200psi which is perfect for my particular use.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Frequency

Problems with air leakage from the filler tube

The filler tubes are leaking on these new tanks. Yesterday I was in the field and 4 different Imperial tanks burst through the filler valve. Not sure what the problem is but one of my buddies had changed the fill valve and the tank stopped leaking as it works fine.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • I won't say anything
