Best Paintball Tanks of 2026

"I got this tank for my son, who’s just starting with paintball, and it’s been affordable, reliable, and easy to install on his marker. The flat bottom design is super convenient for storage and table use. The tank’s regulator is rebuildable and rigorously tested, and the pressure gauge and dual burst discs give me peace of mind about safety. It’s a bit heavy when filled, but overall, it hasn’t leaked or given us any problems. I’d definitely recommend it to others looking for a solid budget option."

"As an airsoft player using PolarStar Kythera and F2 engines, I picked up this tank as a backup and now it’s my main choice—it’s lighter than my old 62ci/3000PSI tank and performs flawlessly. The tank was shipped perfectly protected and undamaged. I can run all day on one tank, and it’s handled everything I throw at it. The only downside is it’s heavier than a carbon fiber tank, but for the price and quality, it’s a great deal for anyone needing a reliable, affordable tank."

"I’ve been using this tank for about a year and it’s stood up to regular use and even bb shots. It fits nicely in my camelback and gives me about half a day of full-auto play before needing a refill. The weight is noticeable after a while, but for a budget tank—especially for beginners—it works just fine. It even looks like the same tank my local paintball field rents out."

"I've found that these fit my Crossman and Daisy air rifles perfectly, sealing well and making loading fast and easy."

"The quality and durability are outstanding for the price. All cartridges arrived undamaged and were well-packed."

"They work just as well as other CO2 brands I've tried, but at a lower cost. I can't see a reason not to buy them again."

"I found the price to be the best I could get when I needed a tank quickly for an outing. The tank works as expected and didn't let me down."

"After contacting Maddog about an o-ring issue, they sent replacements right away. Their quick response improved my experience. The tank is lightweight and a good value, though the gauge isn't always accurate and the o-rings could be better."

"I use this tank for my steel BB gun and have been impressed with its quality and consistency. It's definitely more reliable than using CO2 for several games before needing a refill."

"I bought the 20 oz tank and was impressed by how it lasted over two afternoons of paintball games. Next time, I might go for a smaller one, but the larger size really did the job for me."

"After filling the tank, I managed to get plenty of rounds out of it, making it well worth the money in my opinion."

"If you have a Tippmann marker, I definitely suggest their CO2 cylinders. The fit is perfect and with the 20-ounce size, I get a full day of use."

"I bought this tank to replace some expiring carbon fiber ones. It works flawlessly and feels solid. The pressure gauge is accurate, and there have been no leaks or failures so far. The only thing is, it's a bit heavier compared to what I'm used to, but overall, it's a good value for the price."

"My Tippman HPA tank arrived quickly and in perfect condition. No issues at all with my HPA setup and the first fill lasted me a month since I play once a week. No complaints—great quality and reliability."

"I saw some reviews that mentioned the tank was heavy, but personally, it's just right for me. No leaks and it came with a protective cap. For the price, it's a great tank. I didn't have any problems with damage or performance."

"I swapped out my original bottle for this one and was impressed by the perfect finish and how it looks even better than the stock version. The production date is recent (7/2025), so I know it's going to last. Once I installed it on my Reximex Throne Gen 2, it worked perfectly with no issues."

"After installing this bottle on my Notos, I noticed it's slightly longer than the original, but it delivers over 300 shots per fill and doesn't add much weight. I've also tried it on my Gauntlets and saw a significant boost in both shot count and portability."

"This bottle is a great fit for Airforce, FX, Daystate, and any M18x1 tank thread rifles. I put it on my custom Airforce Condor .257 build and get plenty of shots between fills. The super lightweight design and the unbeatable price for the quality really make it stand out."

"I upgraded from 90g CO2 cartridges to this tank and regulator assembly, and I'm really pleased with the result. Shipping was timely and respectful, and the product arrived in perfect condition, exactly as described. I definitely recommend this setup for anyone looking to make a similar upgrade."

"I was initially hesitant after reading a negative review, but I needed a tank with higher psi output for my less-lethal self-defense guns. I filled the tank right away and pressure-tested it—it delivered a true 1100 psi output just as promised. If you’re considering this, I can vouch for its accuracy. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable, higher psi!"

"I installed this tank on my Sig Virtus PCP .22, and it’s identical to the original and works seamlessly. It’s a great replacement with no leaks, so I’m satisfied with its performance so far."

"I purchased this tank and noticed it had already lost nearly 20% of its usable life when it arrived, since it was manufactured 10 months earlier. Luckily, I checked the date before filling it with CO2."

"While the tank functions well and looks good for my setup, the O-rings it came with were poor quality. I swapped them out for better poly ones and now it does the job just fine."

"After a few refills, I experienced an issue where the inner O-ring popped. Next time, I might spend more for one with a regulator, but overall, these tanks aren't bad."

"I switched to this bottle for my Notos build and couldn't be happier. Super lightweight, fits perfectly, and maintains great balance. With my setup, I get around 150-200 shots per fill at 2200 psi reg pressure, which is fantastic. If you have a Notos, this is a must-have upgrade."

"I bought this to replace a heavy aluminum tank on my PCP. This carbon fiber bottle is so much lighter, offers great quality, and had no leaks. For the price, it's hard to find a better deal—I'd definitely recommend it."

"The tank works just fine and fits my needs, but it didn't look like the seller's photos. There were some chips and scratches out of the box. Functionally it's fine, just don't expect perfect cosmetics."

"I've had this air tank for several years now, and it remains my go-to choice for competitions. Its durability and sleek, low-profile design really set it apart from my other bottles."

"After a frustrating experience with my old HK army tank leaking, I decided to spend a little more on this Empire tank. It holds air exactly as it should and the regulator is top-notch—well worth the extra investment."

"I initially bought this thinking it would work for my PCP air rifle, but learned the regulator is set for 800 psi, which is perfect for paintball but not for my needs. Once I switched to a higher-pressure regulator, it worked flawlessly for my setup."
