    I hope rebuild kits for ninja regs remain available.

    what’s the issue with the ball ninjas? I don’t remember ever having issues with the one I had.

      I have a two tanks with them and only a few markers I have work with them. It’s annoying.

      I still have two tanks with ball valves and I have never had an issue with any of them. Luck of the draw I guess

      There answer was lower the tank pressure so the flawed fix for an issue that didn’t exist works. They choke on some ASA you have to back them off a 1/4 turn or drop an oring in
      the Asa so it leaves a gap. I actually bought old pin valve reg bonnets and swapped over the ones I used regularly.

    I've also heard about store owners trying to order from Ninja for a few months without anything happening and they aren't able to contact anyone

      Also worth pondering....

      If ninja is done sonis their tank certification it they made their own bottles.

        Unless they are bought out and the new owners pick up the certifications but yes that is correct the certifications follow the "maker"

        Unless they are leaving paintball... That's not the only industry they are in.

        Certifications are for periods of time.. a tank company can go under years before their tank certification expires.. didn’t Ninja pay for crossfires certifications years after they went under?

        Damn, on one hand I didn't see that one coming yet on the other somehow I'm not surprised. I've been using their products almost exclusively for the last 15 years or so, always performed great, I too wonder who's going to replace them, if anyone will, where quality offerings are concerned.

          Quality wise Powerhouse it will just cost you more unfortunately. At this point I have more regs than bottles. I wish more companies would offer bottles without regs.

          Damn. I'll have to pick up a spare rebuild kit for my Pro V2 before they're gone..... I started using Ninja after Nitro Duck went out of business, and now I'll have to find another manufacturer.

          How are the Immortal Air regs?

          Damnit. I have the first ninja tank I purchased about to expire next year as well. There wasn't even a question that I would be finding another ninja. Not it's not an option

          What happened? Anyone know for sure?

            I don't understand. Ninja seemed to dominate the pb tank market. Or have I not been paying attention again?

              I think they were victims of their own success, nobody needed to buy new bottles because they all lasted so well for the full 15 years. Also the regulator fiasco with the ball valves didn't help

              The Ball Valve was definitely a fiasco. I still have one of those regulators and it works great with my caged on/off on one of my markers but that is it.

            did their sales fall off with the release of these new HK and infamous bottles that are lighter?

              I mean idk that for sure but I bet it's not so much that they are lighter but HK and infamous are really good at the hype game

              I tend to avoid anything HK, in my opinion their stuff is basically designed to last 1 season

                I have to admit it's not looking good. While I've been hearing these rumors since late last year, I didn't believe them, as Ninja was still taking our calls, and fulfilling our orders. However, we now have an unfulfilled order with them, and no one is answering the phones anymore.
                I can haz feedback?
                If I owe you feedback, just remind me, as I sometimes forget.

                    wow, ninja was one of the companies that tried to hire me back when i was a wee engineer. ray left a few years ago, i think he was kinda the heart/soul of the paintball side of the operation.

                      I think the ball valves were part of it, but powerhouse was the nail in the coffin. The haymakers ate into ninjas sales hard. Then ninja attempted to sue them, and I believe they lost. I'm willing to bet the legal fees took them out.
