Nomally , HPA or PCP can filling compressed Air and N2 are both gasses that go in HPA paintball tanks. HPA or PCPstands for High Pressure Air. Nitrogen and Compressed Air are both high pressure gasses. These gases are cleaner, and expand much faster than co2, which as you may know can be pretty inconsistent and crappy in cold weather. You can get HPA or PCP tanks filled by a high output air compressor(which are powered by gas or electricity), or a full scuba tank. Normal $50 air compressors will not work, they only output at 0-125psi, and HPA paintball tanks operate at 3000-4500 psi..
All HPA or PCPtanks come with a built in regulator that will feed 0-800psi to the gun. Some tanks however have regulators that are fixed to feed at 500psi, so if you were to use it on a which needs 650-800psi to operate correctly your would not work. Likewise, using an HPA or PCP tank with a fixed output of 800psi could spell trouble if you have a low pressure at GBB or paintball gun that operates at 250-450psi.

Hair spray, lubricants, flat tire repair, window cleaners, and gas are often kept in vehicles year round. Some are kept in car trunks or in metal tool boxes in the back of vans and trucks.
These pressurized containers are often temperature sensitive and classified as either flammable or combustible. Yet they are so commonly used, we forget the hazards that are associated with them.
For example, most aerosols state on the label of the container to not store them in temperatures greater than 120 degrees F. During summer months in most places around the United States, outside air temperatures will exceed 90 degrees F while the temperatures inside a vehicle or a toolbox on a vehicle can exceed 130 degrees F. Without additional ventilation or temperature relief, these containers can become explosive.

Temperature
Store flammable aerosol cans at or below room temperature, which is around 65 degrees Fahrenheit. You don't want to freeze the material since freezing causes expansion and can potentially puncture the side of the can. Instead, shoot for a temperature range between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. This cool temperature storage will ensure that the contents of the can are viable but that any accidental leaks will not be ignited by sudden sparks or high temperatures. A humid or moist environment can also help since moisture in the air will prevent unexpected sparks.
Storage Space
Do your best to separate the aerosol cans from other storage materials as well as from any fixtures that feature high temperatures or flames. Never store flammable aerosol cans in a basement or similar area that features hot water heaters, gas heaters, fireplaces, boilers or any other type of intense heat. You should also keep them away from high voltage areas or anywhere that an unexpected spark could ignite. While the cans themselves protect the flammable aerosol product from exposure to such temperatures and sparks, a leak or sudden flame could cause a catastrophic fire. And keep them away from any pointed edges or corners even if it's only furniture with sharp edges. These points will puncture a can and can result in a dangerous spray of flammable liquid.
Can Rotation
Store your cans so that you ensure that you use open cans and older cans first. Much like using food products, this type of rotation will cut back on the number of cans you have (since you will use up an open one before opening a new one) and will prevent the materials from going bad. Depending on the type of material inside the can, the longer it sits, the more likely it is to gradually degrade the can. If you suspect that your can is not sturdy or that the material within cannot be safely used, dispose of it as hazardous waste.
Safety Cabinets
Many companies sell safety cabinets designed to handle aerosols, which might be a worthwhile investment if you keep a lot of paint or chemicals on hand in these cans. Keep these cabinets in a cool, dry area and away from direct sunlight or any ignition sources. Only open the cabinet when you need to put in or take out an aerosol can; leaving the cabinets open exposes the cans to greater risk. Use labels or notes to keep track of what each can is for and when it was placed into the cabinet so that you can effectively rotate stock and use the chemicals correctly.

<h5 class="font_5">HPA paintball tanks are made out of aluminum, steel or carbon fiber. Steel HPA tanks are hella heavy. Aluminum tanks may be cheaper, but Carbon fiber tanks have a higher pressure capability which means they will supply more usable air to your paintball gun. The best way to go is carbon fiber, its lightweight and durable. More on why you should buy a carbon fiber tank over anything else.</h5>

<h5 class="font_5">What confuses many players is the two numbers in the name of an HPA tank. For instance, what does “50ci 4500psi HPA Tank” mean? CI represents Cubic Inch, which represents the volume of the tank. The larger the number the more shots you can expect from the tank. PSI stands for Pounds Square Inch, which is the pressure the tank can be filled to.</h5>

One of the best HPA carbon fiber tank. For the last couple years it have been proving that quality service combined with a quality product is enough to produce a sustainable competitive advantage against larger paintball companies. We make great tanks that perform flawlessly, are affordable, and can easily be switched from low pressure output to high pressure output.
