💨 CO2 Paintball Tank made of Aluminum Review

Although this is a 20oz can of carbon dioxide that will work with my paint marker, it didn't come as advertised. The description says it's an Empire tank and the picture shows a Tippman tank, I have a JT tank. While it's not a big deal, I think it's a bit mean not to sell exactly what you say and show.

I purchased 4 carbon dioxide canisters as part of a complete paintball gun set for an upcoming Christmas present. All 4 were at least 10 months old and 1 was 12 months old so my grandchildren lost a full year of use before needing re-certification. I read that this is an issue for other buyers but decided to take a chance so future buyers will take note. Wouldn't buy again, would recommend going to a local store to make a purchase to ensure you get what you pay for. These tanks were Tippman.

This tank is very well built and works great. If you buy this SodaStream tank, an empty SodaStream can can be refilled for about $5. I took both an empty paintball can and an empty SodaStream can to my local fire department store not believing they could be filled. Both were filled for $5 each. Still happy with the valve fitting in a large paintball tank. Fewer gas station trips.

Tanks are what you would expect. They fill well, hold air and feel durable. Beware. as others have reported they came with a one year stamp. That means you only have four years before they need to be recertified or replaced. Nobody in my area certifies such small tanks, so that means exchange. I think I can understand supply chain issues. It's unreasonable to expect a tank that just left the factory, but one year means I have 20% less product life.

I recently bought a paintball gun and it came with a 9 ounce can. I knew immediately that this would not help. I found them for less than $20 with free shipping. You can't beat this. I've read all the reviews and can't believe people are complaining that they aren't full? You laugh? I think it might be a bit DANGEROUS to ship a full CO2 tank. The only thing that disappointed me about this order was that there was no cap for the pin valve in the tank. The metal is very soft and any ringing can…

My 20oz tank was released with a production date of March 18th so is only 2 months old. It is excellent. The tanks have a 5 year lifespan (unless you recertify) but some reviewers here said they got bottles that are up to a year old or they filled the rupture disc (built in safety diaphragm) when when they got their new bottle. ) jumped out. This is my first tank but I'll share some of the things I've learned: Refilling a tank at a sporting goods store can happen accidentally, I've been told…
