I had the same problem a while back now. It apears they are as rare as hens teeth so I had an angineer mate machine me one up. Cost me a dozen beer...

Yes there is an adapter - they usually run about $30 - If I can find a link to one online I'll post it. Or maybe someone else can beat me to it

I think what you're looking for looks like this. I assume it's the same sort of fitting as in markfm's link is too, but his link didn't have a picture. A bit more than $30 here, unfortunately.

I just have to ask... Are you a diver? If not, is the scuba shop willing to give you air fills? Shops normally require that you show a scuba certification card first.

Seems like scuba shops ought to have one of these on hand. There are a lot of divers with DIN valves on their tanks.

And how does your paintball equipment interface with your DIN valve?

Anyways, with adapter you get filled only 200bar insted of 300bar your tank is capable to take. If you get difficulties to find the adapter there, try European online diveshops...

Oooh, Teddy's right. I've got one of those adapters, and it says on it NOT FOR USE ABOVE 3000 PSI OR 200 BAR.

It's not the tank, the valve, or even the adapter; those can all take the higher pressures. It's the fact that the shop, or guy filling it in his garage, obviously has to use a fill whip with a yoke -- and yokes in general aren't strong enough for the higher pressures, whether they're on regulators or on fill whips (tends to straighten and weaken the yoke, and/or and break the seal).

Um, taking another look at this adapter of mine, it's actually designed so that it will only fit 3,000 psi/200 BAR valves... won't even seal with a high-pressure valve like I assume yours, for the above reason.
