Overall alright tank for $60 not as good as a ninja or a crossfire, but it serves its purpose.

The fill nipple o-ring is horrible, and is going to drive me insane. I replace about 20 of these a week. My local pure energy sales rep makes me pay for the parts. Seriously, this might have one of the worst regulators around, but it's cheap, so it'll never go away.

This tank is a great tank to start with. The switch from CO2 to Nitrogen is a big step in paintball. You dont have to buy a $220 to use an ion or a pmr. I purchased an ion and bought this tank to use 2 christmas' ago. I sold the ion and kind of got out of paintball for a few months but later i picked up a mini. Now, I have a better tank now, but this got me through the break in of my gun.
Appearance: The reason for giving it 3 stars is because its a big hunk of steel tank and doesnt look like the nice carbon fiber tanks but it can be handled. It looks batter than a CO2 tank though.
Performance: I gave it 3 stars because you only get about 600-800 shots off of the tank. However, if you are using an ion or a cheaper gun you will only need this. Pros dont use this tank!
Reliability: I gave it 4 stars on reliability because t has lasted forever. My 68/45 has broke 3 times in 4 months and this thing has held up for more than 2 years!! It would be a 5 star but you probably cant play all day with it.
Value: Value=5 Stars!! This tank is again the perfect switch tank and for $50-$80 (i must have gotten ripped off) it does the work!!

In my experience, these tanks aren't reliable from the factory. I would guess about 30% of the tanks have problems with burst disks, gauges, fill nipples, or leaking. However, after replacing the faulty part, the tanks tend to suffer few problems.
They're a great way to get into HPA, and for a lot of recreational players, $70 is more in line with their price range than a state-of-the-art $200 HPA tank.
Downside is that the tank is heavier than a full 20 oz co2 tank, and will get fewer shots.
On the whole, if you get a tank that doesn't seem to be having any issues, I wouldn't expect many. If you own a lemon, then be prepared to switch out a lot of parts. The quality control on these isn't the best.

This is a very good tank for the price, $60. It is pretty heavy and long, especially when it's on my Mini, but I would recommend this to anyone just starting to use HPA or if you are looking for a backup tank.

My friend sold one to me so he will have a buddy with whom to paintball. This tank is heavy, but for what it is worth I would not complain. It's HPA and it feeds fast enough for most beginner guns. I wouldn't use this with a DM, Ego, or Borg. Its reg might not recharge fast enough with all that ramping.
If you have never held a fiber tank, do it. You can tell this one is a lot heavier. If you are starting out and you need an HPA tank, I would save up for a 68 cubic inch fiber tank, and just buck up with your CO2 tank and CO2 compatible gun for the time being.
Appearance: Nothing fancy. Black tank with sticker and stamp.
Performance: It's heavy. You can handle the weight, but after feeling a fiber tank you kind of don't want to anymore.
Reliability: I had some air recharging problems isolated to being caused by the tank, but this tank probably isn't designed with top tier guns in mind anyway, plus I could've gotten a lemon. It's fine for the common recballer.
Value: It's the economy route for HPA. Can't beat that.

It's a steel HPA tank - its heavy, ugly, rugged, and tough. I wouldn't get this if you play competitively unless you still run CO2. Very good for rentals, or backyard ball when someone runs out of air. Also good for techs for testing. Decent backup for rec play.
You can get them for cheap used.

The PE 48/30 was my first tank when I started playing paintball. It is better than using CO2 by a longshot. It is good for starting out, or if you like to play casually, but if you plan on playing competitively you will need to get a different tank.
Maybe I'm the only one with this problem, but sometimes it takes me forever to screw this tank into my marker. It takes me probably 30 secs to get it started in going into the ASA of my marker. I guess the threads are just weak, but I don't know how to fix this problem other than buying a new reg. After a while, it can get expensive.
Another thing is the weight. This tank is pretty heavy for it's size. I compared the weight of just my PE tank to the weight of my friend's complete marker setup (EGO7, Rotor, CP 48/45) and my tank was heavier. This is the statement that needs to be made: if you are a front player and you will be running alot, do not get this tank. Save up some more cash and get a lighter tank (such as any of the CP tanks).
Lastly, this tank doesn't hold that much air. If I play the average round of paintball with only using what's in my hopper, I will use up at least half of the air in my tank (I am using a G3). I know this is only a 3000 tank, but I should be able to get more efficiency than that. This could be a problem in Speedball when you only have 2 mins to fill up hoppers/pods, with the added time you will need to run and fill up your tank.
Overall, this tank is OK, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who wants to play in tournaments. If you are starting out, and just want to play casually every now-and-again, then this tank is right for you. Other than that, don't get this tank.
