What is the difference between dry carbon and carbon fiber?

What is the difference between a carbon fiber nitrous tank and a steel tank for paintball?

• I am looking to purhcase a nitrous tank for my tippmann a-5. But I am confused as to why some cost around $50 and others like the carbon fiber cost $160. What is the difference?

• Answer:

  Carbon Fiber Tanks are a lot lighter, and they a better for a paintball gun. For example, I have and Invert Mini and originally had a steel tank. Then after a while the steel tank broke my Mini. I now have a new Mini with a carbon fiber tank and have not had a single problem with it since. Also, carbon fiber are low pressure meaning they use less pressure for each shot fired. Which will allow you to play more games without having to fill. And Steel tanks are high pressure which is the opposite of a low pressure tank; more air fills, more pressure, and less shots. I hoped this information helped you out.
