EXPERT AIR ???
I bought two 3000 psi bottles from Expert air, one was regulated for 1200and the other for 2000.
I was under the impression that I could fill those bottles that say 3000 psi to say,….3000 psi.
maybe I was wrong , but I thought the whole idea is to get regulated shots from a 3000 psi bottle.
well, I went to fill them for the first time today off my scuba tank that was just filled .
The first bottle regulated for 1200 psi blew something at about 1500 psi
the second blew at at about 22-2300 psi .
causeing a tiny cut on the side of my face. 👿
Did I do something wrong, or are the tanks screwed up??

Having only owned an AF setup, this is good to know…
So The Edge tank has to be filled from the nipple and not the way a typical AF tank is filled…
At least the fix is relatively easy. 😉
So is it safe to say never fill from the regulated end of a tank? 😕
be like filling your gas tank through the air cleaner/carburetor
Sounds like that has to be the cause.

but I was upset about the tanks, I explained what they for and how I was going to use them .
I’ll give him a call this week ,
but I was just giveing you guys a heads up and also wanted to know if I did something wrong.
Holdover, can you explain your fill procedure?
what you used for filling?
I am betting it was not the tanks.
I am also betting you used the Airforce adapter to fill as if it was an Airforce tank.
Any commets?
Well what can I say I wasted 4 bucks on a burst disk and learned something but seriously if I would have took the time to think about it and looked at the different fill pressures on the disk I would not have done it.
Oh well at least I have someone who knows about high pressure close by eh Walter. 😳

wow, never dreamt this would happen……
Yeah I tried to pump it up with my PCP pump, just a dumb move on my part.
But I did learn how to replace a burst disk. 😆

bud, say it ain’t so!!!!!!

I tried to fill my 2000 reg tank via the AF CO2 adapter and promptly blew a disk. Replaced the disk filled from the foster and had no problems but the pressures should be stamped on the disk.

I think you’re right……
‘….. here’s yur sign!……’
on of my fav songs!
It would seem instructions ARE needed Walt’ 😉
I’m not blaming anyone, but i’d say fucking up the burst discs is enough to include instructions…
Do you forget your meds or something… Did joechemtrail hijack your account and start posting? 😕
Sounds like it needs fill directions…
🙄
not possible hence blown burst disks.
I can see how a guy with an Airforce fill would make just such a mistake
Just don’t see that the Expert HPA vendor is to blame. User/buyer beware
Because most people dont fill it themselves when they buy a paintball tank, they hand it to a clerk at a store or field and they fill it?

I did use my air force adapter to fill them.
I didnt know anything about blowing disks with them .
It looks like that may have been the problem.
I dont remember seeing any directions on how to fill or not fill , but it was a while ago and I honestly couldnt say for sure.
Rob, Im pretty sure I bought them from the link you posted .
