Paintball tanks are an important part of your paintball gear setup. There are many different types of paintball tanks with varieties in what type of gas the paintball tank holds, composition of the paintball tank, volume, and pressure that the paintball tank is rated for. Selecting the correct paintball tank is essential to ensure the proper function, and reliability of your paintball gun. Here at Punisher's Paintball, we offer a wide variety of paintball tanks and tank accessories: 1. 12 gram CO2 cartridges: 12 g CO2 cartridges are used in a couple different paintball guns including stock pump paintball guns as well as paintball pistols including the popular Tippmann TipX and First Strike FSC. 12 Gram CO2 cartridges are the smallest paintball tanks available and you can only expect to get roughly 10-20 shots out of these disposable cartridges. 2. Aluminum CO2 Paintball Tanks - CO2 paintball tanks are the cheaper option of paintball tanks compared to HPA (high pressure air). CO2 paintball tanks come in different sizes including 9 ounce, 12 ounce, 20 ounce, and 24 ounce tank options. CO2 becomes a liquid at a certain pressure. So CO2 paintball tanks are stored as liquid when filled full. This does not allow for CO2 to have a pressure gauge as the pressure will be constant upon discharge of around 850 PSI. CO2 is also not as clean of a gas and becomes extremely cold when it is discharged so it is not the ideal paintball gas. However, beginner paintball tanks are usually CO2 paintball tanks due to them being significantly cheaper than HPA tanks. 3. Aluminum HPA / Compressed Air Tanks - Aluminum HPA tanks is the next style of paintball tank available for purchase. These tanks are similar in appearance to a CO2 tank but can easily be identified based upon the air pressure gauge and the pressure regulator on top of the paintball tank. Aluminum HPA paintball tanks are much heavier than their more expensive carbon fiber big brother. However, these tanks are significantly cheaper than carbon fiber. Aluminum paintball tanks hold 3000 PSI and come in a few different sizes. The most popular volume is 48 CI (cubic inches) due to its relatively ergonomic size when attached to a paintball gun. 4. Carbon Fiber HPA / Compressed Air Paintball Tanks - Carbon fiber paintball tanks are the cream of the crop when it comes to paintball tanks. These paintball tanks have an aluminum base but then are wrapped in carbon fiber making for a significantly lighter construction. Carbon fiber tanks usually hold a higher amount of pressure (4500 PSI) and are offered in different volume options including 48 CI, 50 CI, 68 CI, 77 CI, 88 CI, 90 CI and even larger! Certain carbon fiber paintball tanks also have a gel coat on them which allow for stylish designs and colors to personalize your look. 5. Paintball Tank O-rings - O-rings can be found on every type of paintball tank. When the paintball tank is screwed into the gun, there is an oring at the top of the paintball tank valve or regulator to ensure that the air goes into the gun and does not leak out of the threads. It is important to ensure that your paintball tank o-rings are always in good shape as they can wear with the constant screwing and unscrewing of your paintball tank from your paintball gun. 6. Paintball Tank Accessories & Parts - Punisher's Paintball carries a wide variety of paintball tank accessories and parts. Paintball regulator parts include replacement pressure gauges, burst disks, bonnets, and more. All of these parts are essential to keep your paintball tank working flawlessly. Another important part of a paintball tank is a paintball tank cover. Paintball tank covers are offered by many different paintball brands for good reason. It allows you to protect your paintball tank from possible exterior damage. 7. Paintball Tank Regulators - Paintball tank regulators are made for compressed air paintball tanks. These regulators adjust the output pressure of air coming out of the tank at one time so too much air pressure is never introduced to your paintball gun. Paintball regulators come in different designs, colors, pressure limits, and output pressures. 8. Paintball Tank Valves - Paintball tank valves are used for CO2 paintball tanks and do not regulate the pressure coming out of the paintball tank. These valves are used strictly to engage air when the CO2 tank is screwed into your paintball gun.

Things to know about your paintball tank:

Hydro date - All paintball tanks have a born date (month and year that the paintball tank was made). From this born date, almost all paintball tanks need hydro tested every 5 years. Hydro testing is a form of pressure testing that ensures that the integrity of your paintball tank is still good and there are no weaknesses in the structure of the paintball tank. Hydro testing can be performed at your local paintball store, scuba diving shop, and/or fire & security store. It is important to ensure your paintball tank is always "in hydro" and to never use it if the current use is after the 5 years from the born date or most recent hydro testing event. Storage of your paintball tank - Storing your paintball tank is not difficult and there are no definites here. However, we always suggest that you store your paintball tank in a dry place at room temperatures. When possible, store your paintball tank unpressurized as this will be less strain on your paintball tank valve or tank regulator. Can you turn a CO2 tank into a HPA tank? The simple answer to this is NO. CO2 paintball tanks are designed specifically for CO2 storage and compressed air paintball tanks are the same.
