Where can I get a Heiser 190?

[yukmak]

Hi all, I'm new to this board. I am posting here because it is the only place I saw any information on these tanks.

The Googling I've done tells me that:

They are heavy
They are big
They hold a lot of air
They are heavy

What I couldn't find is where I get get me one or two. I am in the Denver area but will be in the Orlando area soon.

I mainly want one because it has a high PSI rating. I probably won't be diving with it (haven't in years), just filling my paintball tanks. I am tired of only getting <3000psi fills.

They stopped making them several years ago.. did anyone mention they are heavy?

However, there a still a couple of other options.. including the 149 cu ft Faber.. with a 3442 psi rating, along with several other larger, somewhat higher pressure tanks.

Are you using this for mobile paintball fills, or have it stuck in your garage? If it is permanent at home, find a 300BAR cascade cylinder.

It has to be mobile. I considered putting a storage cylinder in the back of my Bronco, but I think the smallest ones are still like 6 feet tall?

I did looks at the 3442 psi tanks, I guess those would be the fallback.

why don't you hit Lowe's and get a small water heater? They are about the same size, no?

Don't give anyone any bad ideas! Water heaters are meant to blow off at around 150psi!

Yes, Heiser no longer even exists in the same form as they did when they made those cylinders, to be honest, scuba cylinders are not high on their agenda now.

I guess the only way you will find one is second hand.

What size paint ball tank are you using? You could always put a manifold on a couple tanks too.

 

[yukmak]

Just a regular 65 ci / 4500 psi. The main thing is getting as high of pressure in there as I can. I currently use two LP steel tanks with burst disks for 3000 psi, left over from when my wife used to cave dive. On another topic, is it still common practice to overfill steel LP tanks? I haven't checked yet with my local dive shops.

You always get a full 2640

A couple 108's or HP 130's would give you like 10 fills over 3000 psi Id think. You couls always search for a booster
