So, bringing this back to this session.

Pre-order went from July to Summer and now to December. Of course, Covid and all but still. I'm really looking forward to getting one of those but I'm not preordering and the postponing is the exact reason why. Been there before and will not pre-order anything again in the future. Thoughts?

It still looks pretty awesome. If it ever moves from vaporware to something more substantial I'll be ordering one. I agree that pre-order seems unnecessary/unwise.

Rather buy direct from FS than from ANS, pre-order or not.

Lifetime use bottle (still required 5 year re-hydro)

This is the first time I see a detail about hydro (FS refused to publish the DOT spec for this tank) ... Glad to see it's lifetime on the tank.

I’m getting one threw my local pro shop that’s a FS dealer when they arrive. Covid put a delay on everything so no word on when it will be available.

Psyched for it. Will replace my 13/3k. And may very well become my only tank.

[DavidBoren]

I want to like this, and I do... but I don't think I like it enough to spend $200 on it. Will a carbon fiber/gel-coat tank survive long enough for the whole lifetime tank thing to even matter? It is cool, though.

I pre ordered one, should be a good addition to my phantom.

[Ratzo]

I like that the reg has an adjustable output pressure. I have a few markers that prefer higher pressures, so when I have used my 13/3000 on them it just lacks a little.

[ilivlife]

Has anyone heard any updates on these tanks or gotten one of thier pre-orders?

[cfos00]

They are supposed to be coming in Dec

[TKSTristar]

Oh wow, definitely a neat tank but I can't justify it at $200. I can just buy four 13/3000 tanks for the same price.

Right now it’s just Vaporware for now. Timelines have come and gone on it. You can buy the China knock off if you want to take your life into your hands.

I really wanted one of these to it would have been perfect for a nice light big game pump setup.

[mpsd]

Exactly, it looks like vaporware indeed, unfortunately. The just pushed it to March now and the date keeps moving forward indefinitely.

[Chuck E Ducky]

If they actually produce one I will get one. I feel bad for those that payed ANS to pre order one.

[mpsd]

Couldn't agree more. I have unfortunately learned my way on these pre-orders. Won't get into them any longer.

MCS has in stock 17/3000 under 2 inch diameter tanks in stock which are not quite the amount of shots on a 15/4500 when full to the brim, but at least you can usually top off the 17ci tank. They're like 100 dollars and are the perfect size.

I kept running mine out last time I played so I am going to stick with my 45/45 for most stuff now.

[Memornix]

Just got an email that these actually exist and are in stock now
