When it comes to filling up an air tank for paintball, there is typically a cost involved. However, the exact cost can vary depending on where you go to get your tank filled. One of the first places you should look for tank filling is your local paintball store. These stores often have the necessary equipment to safely fill compressed air tanks. Additionally, many paintball stores also have a competition field where you can play and get your tank filled.
At these stores and fields, you may find that they offer tank filling services for free. This can be a great benefit, especially if you play paintball frequently and need to fill your tank regularly. However, it’s important to note that not all stores or fields offer free tank filling. Some may charge a fee for the service.
If you do encounter a fee, the cost is usually based on the amount of pressure you need in your tank. Typically, you can expect to pay around one to three dollars for every 1,000 psi (pounds per square inch) of air that is filled into your tank. For example, if you have a tank that needs to be filled to 3,000 psi, you may be charged around three to nine dollars.
It’s worth noting that different stores and fields may have slightly different pricing structures, so it’s always a good idea to inquire about the specific costs before getting your tank filled. Some places may also offer discounts or package deals for frequent customers, so it’s worth exploring these options if you are a regular paintball player.
In my personal experience, I have found that most paintball stores and fields charge a reasonable fee for tank filling. While it would be nice to have free tank filling everywhere, I understand that there are costs associated with maintaining the equipment and ensuring the safety of the filling process. As long as the cost is fair and the service is reliable, I am more than happy to pay for tank filling to ensure I have a fully charged air tank for my paintball games.
There is typically a cost involved in filling up an air tank for paintball. Your local paintball store and competition field are the best places to look for tank filling services. While some stores may offer free tank filling, it is more common to pay one to three dollars for every 1,000 psi of air that is filled into your tank. It’s always a good idea to inquire about the specific costs and any discounts or package deals that may be available. Ultimately, the cost is justified by the need to maintain equipment and ensure the safety of the filling process.
