What brand of tank is needed or best for E-mag.
And where the cheapest place to order it.
Was looking at a 88 4500.

You can use any nitrogen tank for the e-mag. AGD has one of the cheapest, quality adjustable tanks available, but a preset tank would do fine.

To answer your question no, but you do need a high pressure tank (no lp tanks), i think a mag's opperating pressure is 850psi (correct me if im wrong).

I believe you need at least 650psi actually. No, a fixed high pressure tank is fine for use. You just get more reactivity out of an adjustable.

I run a flatline, I have also had a WGP screw in tank on there and it ran just fine.

In E-mode you wont see any difference in performance (as long as you're above the 800-850psi input) They will run as low as 650 (mine stops firing paint at 425 or so) but you will suffer drop off and slow recharge rates.

If you're not sure, reactivity is a Hybrid/Mech mode topic involving the "feel" of your trigger and how it returns itself. Adjustables allow you to tweak this.

For an Emag, just get a HP preset tank.

What the adjustable tank does, is affect the reactivity of your reactive trigger. On an emag, you have to put it in hybrid mode. This option is used mostly on Xvalves and RTs. But if you're planning on just using Emode, then it probably isn't worth the extra money,
