Paintball Thread Thread

[Orange Krate]

I saw a few paintball threads on here so I know we got some ballers and shot callers but they were all closed.

I need a high pressure gas for a project I'm working on. Was going to make an air tank with shrader fill valve out of PVC but didn't want to reinvent the "wheel." Then I thought of paintball. I've looked at c02 and HPA and settled on c02 because I have a tank to refill from.

My questions are:

What's the best way to go from a paintball c02 cylinder to 1/8" NPT?

And

How do I refill?

I had something real similar to that refill kit. I used a scba and a scuba tank as the bulk storage.

A friend of mine who builds home soda dispensers turned me on to this one I ordered.

I'm assuming HPA has the same thread so the tanks are interchangeable?

Does this have something to do with the drilled out Spindles???

C02 would shoot out an oil slick!? eh?

Thanks. I went with C02.

Stuff is starting to come in! Turns out a remote hose already has 1/8" NPT on the quick connect...awesome!
