Q:

??: First time filling my Condor tank at a paintball store

So I did some reading but can’t really find what I need to know.

I plan to head over to a paintball store to do my first fill. Do I need to bring the whole clamp assembly or just the refill adapter?

I also watched a video on refilling and they recommend to take 1 minute to fill to 3000psi. Is this standard procedure for HPA tanks or just for the AF tanks, will the guys at the paintball store know to take the 1 minute to fill a HPA tank?

Thanks for the help.

That adapter can be purchased from Mac1 airguns for like $15

Are you talking about a CO2 fill or a HPA fill?

For CO2, just take the bottle. Nothing else necessary.

For HPA, I thought you mentioned that you got the hand pump? You’re going to wear a groove in the road from all the trips you’ll have to make to keep the HPA tank filled.

Co2 I know and plan to use it for basic plinking.

It’s the HPA fill I’m asking about as there are lots of paintball store near me and only two dive shops in Toronto that I know of and they are not easy to get to for me.

The hand pump for sure will be used for topping up the tank after I shoot a string of pellets. After awhile I will see what my need are for my Condor and may look into getting my own scuba tank but that’s for later.

Filling your stock tank will end up being expensive and repetitive due to needing a refill after 50 shots or so.

They will charge you probably $5 to fill your tank.

If you still want to do it then you will need a set up so they can attach a female foster to your tank. Here is mine.

Where did you get your attachment set up or did you make your own?

paintball stores will likely only be able to fill it if it has a foster QC on your fill adapter – like this

Unless they happen to have scuba tanks, then if you have a scuba adapter you could take that but I highly doubt it.
