Thanks for the info. It sounds bulky. Does anyone have any photos of this setup? Just curious.

I’m using 2 ’60-min’ 4500psi SCBA tanks (87cu.ft. each) instead of 2 SCUBA tanks
(SCUBA tanks usually range from 80 cu.ft. @ 3000psi up to 100cu.ft @ 3500psi)

My SCBA tanks are filled to 4000psi at a local Scuba Shop for $5.00 each.
(my nearest paintball facility charges $7.00 to fill a PB tank and only provides 3000psi fills)

I then purchased a .
(I may still get a Shoebox at some point, but the booster was the better solution for me.)

My current configuration is as follows:

[#1 SCBA 4500psi tank] -> [regulator] -> [Rocket Booster (drive) ] —> [Paintball 4500psi bottle]
[#2 SCBA 4500psi tank] ——————-> [Rocket Booster(supply)]

With a 4000psi SUPPLY, it’s taking me about 10-15 minutes to fill a 91ci tank to 4500psi.

Later on, I’ll post how long it takes to fill different size paintball tanks to 4500psi
(beginning with different air SUPPLY pressures – i.e. 4000, 3000, 2000, 1500, 500psi)

A full, 3000psi 80 cu.ft. SCUBA tank should give you about 6 to 8 fills (from empty) for a 68ci 4500psi paintball tank, and about 10 to 12 for a 68ci, 3000psi tank. This is, of course, if you use 1 SCUBA tank for your SUPPLY air, and a 2nd, regulated, SCUBA tank for your DRIVE air.

Here’s a picture of a 3 SCUBA tank set-up (minus the tanks) –

You connect a scuba tank on one end. A 100 psi compressor on the other. Then the pump will us the compressor to boost the psi coming from the tank to the desired PSI in your paintball tank.

I don’t understand how it works. I’m interested though. Imagine a onboard air compressor? That’d be the day!
