: : ok i got a few questions here : : 1)can you put nitro into a CO2 bottle if it has a on off valve (ie smart valve) I only answer this question because you should know the truth about air, co2, your bottles and paintball in general. You will NOT blow yourself up just because you fill the bottle with HPA. A C2 bottle has a BURST DISK that will blow before the valve, bottle , gun, or yourself blows up. If you had to fill it, which is NOT recommended by anyone anytime, you better be smarter than you look. And the gun MUST have a regulator on it, or it will shoot cold, then hot. (first the backpressure on the valve will be so high the hammer spring can hardly budge it, so you'll screw it in harder and harder, then the backpressure will subside as you shoot more, and you suddenly will be shooting madhouse hot. SO you need to be using a regulated gun or it would be reallllly stupid. I always feel it's better that a person understands their gear rather than give them a blank Don't Do that answer. In any case, Don't do that... : : 2)can you get a on off valve put on a nirto tank b/c my maxflow does not have its pin shaved and im lazy You can use a cooper-t bottle stopper, that screws right onto your co2 threaded bottles. But you'll want to keep the output psi to less than 850psi to ensure no leaks. : : 3)is nitro the same as N20 If you can get nitrous fills, do it. You'll be a happier player in the long run. However, the stuff they call Nitro, from scuba shops is nitrogen, and it's mixed into compressed air to help with deep water diving. Otherwise, though, the fills you get from a scuba shop are compressed air, and with likely no ADDed nitrogen.
