Anyone use their QUEST with a high pressure tank?

[xarsefacex]

If you've run your Quest on a high pressure output tank, post up and let me know how it compares to using a low pressure tank. Thanks in advance.

[wekillsuckers444]

i use a hp 45/45 works fine

[.:{}:.]

im using a hp 45/45 pure energy. no problems.

[jeffreyjames]

ive got a 68/45 crossfire hp. puts out about 800psi..... hpr on gun set to about 2-220. no problems out of it yet, works great.

High Pressure 68/45 Air America Tank, LPR 55ish Dwell 5.5 a Nice and consistent 280s

[olegodo]

I think a normal HPR on any marker can hanle both LP and HP air tanks.
however the HP tanks will be able to deliver a more constant air flow at high rates of fire, but i doubt you will notice any difference at anything below 20bps

[xczar1]

So wait, should I buy a fixed high pressure tank or fix low pressure tank for my new Quest?

[chaddimichele]

high pressure; so if you sell it to some kid with a spyder; he can use it too :P

:dodgy:
wtf
a kid with a spyder would probably not have a compressed air tank. and if your reffering to him using CO2, yes CO2 has a high output but the would screw up the internals and freeze up the gun.

[kersplatpb]

I've seen plenty of spyders come through my shop running on compressed air. It is kinda like a half step up instead of a full step up in the grand scheme of what we call paintball.

[jeffreyjames]

id go with the hp tank. just to keep a nice gradient between the regs. theoretically it should help prevent shoot down from possible slow recharge rates and help consistency.

[Maverick_1369]

get a LP crossfire and you will not have shootdown because of the recharge rate, almost guaranteed

[xczar1]

Well which is it? I called some dood at FEP, he told me Low Pressure tank. Most of you other peeps say High Pressure Tank. I will prolly get either a Crossfire or Nitro duck brand.

[Maverick_1369]

seriously, get a crossfire low pressure. If the people at FEP told you LP, get LP, its as simple as that. Im sure it works fine with HP, but it might even work just a lil bit better with LP.

It may not run noticably different using a LP tank like say, an Angel would, but there is not reason to have you tank shooting 800psi into your regs when you dont need it.

[cdimic]

high pressure=harder on low pressure regulators

personally id still get the high pressure; so if you sell it you dont have to sell it to someone w/ a highend low pressure gun
low pressure regulator+high pressure tank= lubing the regulator more then a low pressure tank

[Maverick_1369]

honestly, almost all guns out there except like spyders will run fine on a good low pressure tank

[jeffreyjames]

look.......most guns(if not all now) have a high pressure reg in the vert adapter or somewhere. THAT will cut any tank, high or low pressure, down to whatever your gun needs to operate. an lpr(on most(if not all) guns) regulates what comes out of the hpr to go to the bolt or cocking mechanism or whatever. so if you have a good hpr it doesnt matter what your tank is.
the idea is to have a stepped gradient between one reg and the next. i.e...... 800 from the tank knocked down to 220 at the hpr(to fire the gun in the case of the quest) knocked down to 80 or less at the lpr to operate the bolt(in the case of the quest). the idea of the gradient is to prevent shootdown or bolt stick(if your regs and dwell are set right) due to lack of recharge rate. (and YES different regs on tanks dont have the same flow rate! i.e...crossfires have excellent recharge rates and pure energys have a SLIGHTLY LESS recharge rate(probably not noticeable)) to always have a ready regulated supply of air. YES an lp tank will give you a good enough gradient and allow you to theoretically shoot more shots out of it(because the gun operates at 200 or so and the tank puts out 500) so you wont have any reg probs shooting the last bits of your tank out. thats all an lp tank does really is give you a more consistent pressure at the end of your tank.
when you go below a regs output they tend to get "fussy" and inconsistent. if your tank puts out 800....it tends to not be as consistant what it puts out below that. BUT, thats what your hpr is for........ to regulate what does come out.

this kid is extra lost....

anyhow. Get a HP tank.

[iceman720]

is there any reason why a low pressure reg wouldnt be a good idea for use withah quest? or ego or dm6? wouldnt the low pressure output of the tank be easier on the high pressure reg on the quest (or any other low pressure gun)?

sorry for my noobness, I just imagine that a low pressure tank combined wtih a marker with a low operating pressure would be a good combination...

[jeffreyjames]

its marginally easier on the regs. the biggest diff is that you get a somewhat more consistent output at the very end of your tank.

[NYGuardians capt.]

everyone at all my local shops said that if your gun runs on LP get a LP, incase your reg breaks or something you won't blow the solenoid. they said only use HP if the gun is designed to take HP.

[iceman720]

hmmm, so get lp tank for lp marker in case the reg fails and air ruins the noid>? that makes sense? but how often does that happen? and has anyone experiecned shoot down with a lp tank where a hp tank made it shoot more consistent?

[cdimic]

Even in the manual it says:"Do not exceed an input pressure of 850psi"

[NYGuardians capt.]

It happened on my dads ion, his reg blew and 850psi went right into the noid. it blew. and on my lp tank i never experienced shoot down even at extremely high rates of fire.

[Lilac1-for-the-lot]

hmmm, so get lp tank for lp marker in case the reg fails and air ruins the noid>?

Just for clarification, if the main inlinereg on the gun fails, the 450 psi from an LP tank will destroy a noid just as easily as 800 from an HP tank will.

LP tanks are a must have for angels, but a definite no-go for any other gun.

[iceman720]

hmm, so better to just get a hp tank that way you can use any gun

[jeffreyjames]

its pretty much run what ya brung with the quest. it doesnt really matter what pressure your tank is. the inline will knock it down to what is needed. the inline failing is a rare thing so i think its a non-issue. and as lilac said....450 will blow your noid just as easy as 800. theres no need to buy a specific tank/reg for it. most people ive heard are using hp tanks on it as am i and have had no problem. an lp tank just gives you a more consistent output at the end of your tank where the pressures are low for the most part.

[kersplatpb]

From what little I know, LP and HP tanks both work fine on the Quest. This is not true for all markers though. HP tanks on LP guns can cause problems. If a reg has to work too hard you can experience shoot down. This happened with one of our team member's Timmys. Sent it to be fixed numerous times to find out that his tank was the problem. He switched to an LP tank and the issue was solved.

[Quest Owner]

my friend does and its the same as any other tank

[F0rgiven]

i just bought a new 68/45 HP, and it works perfectly fine.

[fatalogptwgjdep]

As long as you got a good reg on your gun it doesnt matter i prefer to use hp on all my guns. anyone know if the gm bolt is worth getting.

Again my buddy using my name. to elaborate... i have seen mixed results with LP tanks. personally i experienced a lot of drop off with a LP tank. I don't just mean first shot either. it was the first 5 or 6. went to a high pressure tank and all was well. i know others who use LP tanks with no problems. perhaps its a problem with the settings or simply not lubing the reg. but i have seen as many good results as bad results with LP tanks on a quest
